Since then there has been an ever increasing

ArbCom case which appears to be rapidly reaching a conclusion.
A lot of what you call "hysteria" doesn't seem to be over the block so
much as the mailing lists themsevles. The block is apparently what
brought the email to light, and the email is what brought to light the
mailing lists, which most of us knew nothing about until the email was
made public.
Exactly. And so what?
While some
may
still think there is value in insisting that witnesses should be
subpoenaed here to name names, I think it's time to call this House
Committee on Un-Wikipedian Activities to a close.
I find it humorous how much hypocrisy there is in this whole incident.
Telling people to assume good faith in response to an enormous
assumption of bad faith; comparing the demand for answers about a
group of investigators trying to uncover anyone who is now or ever has
associated themselves with Wikipedia Review to McCarthyism...
You see, this is why I rarely respond to your e-mails, Anthony. The
cyberstalking list was set up for Wikipedians who have been
cyberstalked as a result of their Wikipedia activities. I'm not aware
of any "group of investigators trying to uncover anyone who is now or
ever has associated themselves with Wikipedia Review"; that's more
hysteria.
