To summarize, "This is for Wikipedia work, not personal stuff... but some personal stuff is OK." Exactly the sort of ambiguity which lets everyone get in maximum amounts of trouble by misinterpreting it in their favor.
You (Tony) emphasize the WP work aspect. Other people take the other information aspects at its word... and some go overboard.
What nonsense. There is personal stuff. To remind you, you falsely claimed that "People should be allowed and encourage to develop their personal identity on Wikipedia" and I said:
"Why? Wikipedia isn't a web host, a blog or a social networking site. Those who are looking for such sites will find that there are plenty of those around. There is only one Wikipedia."
"Some personal stuff is okay" is not the same as "People should be allowed and encourage to develop their personal identity on Wikipedia". Rather the reverse, I should say.
