So, for anyone who doesn't know, it's now come out that there was basically a citizens "militia" of sorts that created secret mailing lists where they coordinated their actions and presented secret evidence against those suspected of being affiliated with a BADSITE... This is a LOT of drama.
Yow. I, for one, didn't know that (though I can't say I'm surprised).
There's an easy way to short-circuit most of the drama: everybody on that (or those) secret mailing lists ought to voluntarily take a pretty long wikibreak. (A year wouldn't be too long.) Their intentions were good, I know, but they got way too wrapped up in things, and they (and the rest of us) now need some time to unwrap.
