[[Wikipedia:No Personal attacks]] states that off-Wikipedia personal attacks are a side issue and do not fall under the jurisdiction of Wikipedia. Whatever is decided, I request that policies are in sync with each other.
Hmm, I am offline at the moment, but it has always been my position and the position of the ArbCom (mostly, not everyone has always agreed about the details of course) that (a) we should not seek to police what Wikipedians are doing on other websites generally, and (b) off-Wikipedia behavior (such as harassment, "outing", etc.) is relevant to the Wikipedia banning process.
We trust the ArbCom to act thoughtfully, and we have some checks and balances in place.
