I know we are are all on the same team, but when the Public Policy department won't even say whether they intend to align their efforts in to issues by the extent to which they affect the community, it is very easy to become cynical and jaded.
Questions go unanswered. Drawing conclusions about motivations behind the inability or unwillingness to address them is annoying, but the underlying abuses and overreach are far more annoying. It annoys me to see what could be a powerhouse for defending the community from threats to the mission has apparently decided that a Twitter campaign is the best they can do. I hope I am wrong, but where is the evidence that more is being done?

James,
I stopped reading your email after the third sentence. Insulting the people you are trying to influence is rarely an effective tactic. As someone who is also concerned about CISA, I appreciate your sincere passion and I hope the WMF decides to take more action on it. Hopefully, we can all remember that we are on the same team though.
