It is not an "anti-wiki" idea, any more than OTRS or IRC are
anti-wiki ideas. Sometimes you need to allow people to let off steam
or release hurt or explore a thought in some kind of privacy.
A major line is crossed when that "private letting-off of steam" results
in administrators blocking users and then refusing to reveal why they
did it, though. This wasn't just some private venting session that leaked.
If an administrator were to block someone with the explanation "I ran
this by some people on an IRC channel and they okayed it, but I can't
tell you who or where or why", that would quite rightly result in a
furore. "Some people on an IRC channel" don't have any authority to okay
anything.
