I still get a strong sense that there is much less to this than meets the eye.
This is why it's so important for people to be a little less attached to the contents of their sekret deliberation. It gets very hard to reasonably guage what's going on. The longer people demand "this is secrect, Arbcom doesn't get to know anything about my 'in dept' discussions with duova", it just feeds into the feeling that where there's smoke, there's fire.
Right now it's not so bad. Next week, people start getting terrified that running arbcom candidates are among the five who had "in depth" conversation, it'll turn a lot uglierer and accusations will start flying, and I don't know how to stop that situtation except to BEG the people who really are responsible come forward and let, at a minimum, arbcom see their 'sekret deliberations'
