I dispute this. It is not clear to me that there is anyone
exhibiting this "crisis" who was not already thoroughly convinced
that any admin with even a tangential connection to SlimVirgin is
tainted by evil.
Naturally this is just my personal view.

Guy, I'm afraid you're missing the point. This was a *community *issue that
drew the attention and interest of editors from all kinds of areas. It was
about big picture things, not about individual editors.
And I think it is disingenuous to bring up SlimVirgin's name here. Most
people have the sense to remember that *somebody* always has to nominally be
in charge of a list, and there is no doubt that Slim has good reason to have
an interest in cyberstalking. The community as a whole has assumed good
faith about Slim with respect to this issue, which I fully support.
