David Gerard: OK, so now "wikiquette" and "personal attacks" have morphed into "disruptive". Is that because you'd have trouble finding personal attacks or abuses of wikiquette among my posts to this mailing list? Where are they? You're making these accusations in a public forum, so we deserve to know specifically what you believe these personal attacks are. If "disruptive" is being interpreted in such a way as to silence anyone who asks questions about chapter governance and transparency, the matter needs to be brought to the WMF's attention. Is this also the reason WMAU is going to back to a secret mailing list? I note the violent imagery being tossed around by several people: to "kick off" a mailing list. That and the treatment I received last year appear to amount to personal bullying. I believe it should stop if WMAU has any self-respect. Tony

No, I neither said nor meant that. I meant more broadly, moderating or kicking sufficiently disruptive users as needed. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
