Hey all! As I have been helping out with wikipedias from time to time, here my 5 cent:
@Fae: I do not think that it is within the spirit of the Nolan Principles to break a promise given to participants... there is no trade-off possible between the principles for the principles (Leadership, Honesty, Integrity Selflessness Objectivity vs Openness, Accountability ?!). That is, after all the basic concept of principles - that they are even followed when you don't want to or like to. @discussion culture: To get to a decision, everyone must be allowed to express her/or himself in a discussion without fearing repercussions afterwards - otherwise you just get yes-people who will not participate or worse, tell you what you want to hear. Why it is important to say something stupid like "fuck the community" is because it came right from the inside, without prior going through a filter... with this reaction people will filter and you will not only loose dumb but also intelligent contributions. @future (sarcasm warning): if you do not wish this sort of comments, just say so in a general sense - YES, it's possible to get the message across without a witch/wizard hunt and even CHANGE the rules for the next time... learning without burning... how the world could have looked if this had been used more often...
