What bothers me about the quote below is that it

fact that like-minded editors usually have the same articles watchlisted;
not to mention the fact that we all have editors who when we see there
names as the last edit in our watchlist, pique our interest to look at
the discussion--editors we agree or disagree with. It's more likely, IMO,
to ascribe "blocks" to editor watchlists than private lists, although that
could just be naivte.
The private lists are not the problem per se. The problem
is that there is behind-the-scenes collusion (in any form),
that it is leading to action, that it is leading to hasty or
mal-thought-action, and most importantly, that this is being
condoned by some part of he community.
