Got it and totally understandable. im fine letting go of conversation now that i know something is being done to remedy this situation. Just wanted to alert crew just in case nothin was happening. (im a firm believer that secrecy fuels dysfunctional behavior, so my instinct was to make sure peeps were aware, just in case it required help).

I don't know the situation here at all, but I think Anne's point is that this is a sensitive area and best discussed outside of mailing lists. 

There is also a point that on-wiki behaviours, problems and sanctions do not necessarily translate into off-wiki activity. (though normally I notice this the other way around, with people who are pillars of the community on-wiki behaving unacceptably in real lifei..)

I dont understand what ur trying to express. Can u possibly clarify.

Are you saying that this person should be allowed to represent the community in an official capacity even though he has been recently banned for inappropriate behavior and breaking community guidelines? 

I just want to make sure that im understanding your point of view correctly.

I would recommend considerable caution in discussing this issue on this mailing list. One of the key "harassment" issues was that the now-banned user attempted to contact the WMF about another user whom he believed to beemployed by the WMF under some form of grant or contract. It raises an interesting question that some here would think it appropriate to try to affect that person's position in a Wikimedia chapter because of the English Wikipedia ban; it is parallel to the situation for which the user was banned in the first place.

At least one other party under conditional sanctions in the same case is an active and respected member of this mailing list, and I can respect that it would be difficult for that individual to have this matter dissected here. Please proceed with caution.

Banned in the past, and done their time; or currently banned? I've
worked with ex-cons in the past.
