I also think your premise in B is incorrect. If continued speculation, discussion etc were not harmful then why all the effort in oversighting her earlier edits in various articles etc?
O_o
Let me be clear: I don't see how edits deleted/oversighted a year ago have anything baring on "continued speculation". If you're talking about those then I don't know what to say to you.
If you're talking about the recent suppression of discussion, then that was half the point of my comment:
By the continued use heavy handed actions it is being implied that there is a privacy problem with this discussion. If thats the case the only solution is an identity change.
I was trying to imply that there was any choice here, rather I was saying that there needs to be identity change exclusive-OR the tools are currently being misused. I don't have the information to know which of these two possibilities are true, but I just can't see any way that aggressive deletion/oversight based discussion suppression is acceptable which doesn't also demand an identity wipe in the interests of the wellfair of the involved parties.
It seems to me that we need to stop thinking in terms of "win" and "lose". There seems to be so much energy going in to prevent the trolls from "winning" (or, on the other side, people trying to make the evil Jay and Slim "lose") that we can't step back and behave sanely.
