I am very worried that we are seriously discussing the formation of a committee empowered to prohibit unpopular content from Wikipedia and to ban those that feel that it is important to record it.
I don't think that's what we are discussing.
jguk has already left Wikipedia over the present content-related AC case, feling he was being railroaded. I don't think that counts as a win for Wikipedia - we're talking about a good contributor, not some obnoxious nutter we're better without.
It's a larger version of exasperating one's opponents off the wiki, only this time using the AC as a hammer. So far I'm only seeing taking on content-related cases as setting up a disaster.
