'as to ruin someones reputation'? You severely over estimate how coordinated we are as a community. For god sake, we cant settle on anything, you think we can come to a decision on this and keep it secret? As for protecting this particular asshole its far from that. He's dangerous, it seems they were simply protecting previous victims from retribution. I really feel they arbcom should be thanked for taking care of this with so little mess.

There is not any sort of cabal. You want these types of discussions more open, while there's another thread attacking us for making the same kind of discussions easier to find and saying it ruins reputations. The majority of users understand how the wiki works, and a minority just see conspiracies and cabals.
The fact that some discussions are kept easy to find so as to ruin people's reputations while other discussions are kept top-secret so as to protect other people's reputations seems to me to be problematic in and of itself. Why the double-standard?
