And to think there was a proposed policy to ban offsite discussion about Wikipedia...:)
Just how were they going to try to enforce such a ban?
They weren't.
To be fair, I believe at least the proposals I've seen didn't try to actually ban offsite discussion, but merely the use of such discussions as justification for policy changes or other on-wiki actions. That _would_ be enforceable.
It's also something I'd almost be in favor of myself, at least for those offsite discussions that aren't even public. The way I see it, if you can't say something in public, it's probably not something you should say at all.
