What is your opinion Peter ? What do you think mediation is ? How can it help ? Do you think your opinion is welcome to build it, or is it a closed black box? Do you think mediation organisation should be invisible to non mediators ? Where do you suggest we discuss english wikipolitics from now on ?
On the contrary, I feel that mediation itself is important and should be an integral part of the Wikipedia community. I just think that this squabble about the deletion of a thread most of us know nothing about doesn't need to be discussed here. Based on Erik's description of the thread as he saw it, I personally don't see what the big deal is. From what *I* know, it was useless when he found it.
If, on the other hand, it *was* useful to certain people who knew what it meant, I'm fairly certain the large majority of the subscribers to this list *didn't* know what it meant.
I'm sorry. I don't mean to take sides. It's not my business. But that's my point: I don't think its the business of most of us.
Again, I don't mean mediation, I just mean this argument.
Peter
