In this case, it was necessary to publish the email only in order to
ensure that Durova was adequately humiliated. You'll excuse me, I
hope, for finding that just ever so slightly distasteful.
If that was the only reason it was done I'd find it distasteful too.
Justified, but distasteful. In this case the publication of the email
served at least one other purpose, though. It served to bring to
public light the existence of two secret mailing lists and gave us all
at least a hint at the improper things which are occurring on those
mailing lists.
Actually, it didn't do either, since neither list was "secret", and
there is no indication that "improper things" are occurring on those
mailing lists.
And, frankly, it's for that reason that some arb
com
members want to punish Giano.
That's not being "frank", that's just being assuming bad faith *and*
being completely incorrect. Please don't mistake the former for the
latter.
Humiliating people who have made a
mistake isn't the problem.
Err, yes it is. And you persist.
