It's more than one issue, of course. The whole area of outing editors is "toxic" in the ArbCom-jargon sense: in other words the community of enWP dumps it into the lap of a few trusties, so that _it does not have to be discussed on a public mailing list_, amongst other things. I would question whether anyone who has not thought through the implications should be giving opinions on such a list.  If anyone thinks that the "natural justice" issue is trivial, or that barring individuals deemed persona grata actually solves the outing problem rather than driving it to more covert methods, they (frankly) have no idea what they are talking about.

In short, this is a very bad topic to have one of our typical threads about. The Board presumably anticipated an appeal procedure, so they should use it, and moderate this list.
