Now, probably Kamryn should have read the later retraction before reacting, and should have toned things down a little. However, there seems to be an atmosphere of touchiness lately, both on Wikipedia and on this list, where people get easily banned for minor incivility infractions, if they're on the "wrong side" of the heated "culture wars", while people on the other side can get away with almost anything. That doesn't seem fair to me.

This should be a working list for the encyclopedia. We have zero future possible wonderful posts to gain from welcoming these people to wikien-l, and they really aren't welcome. Saying that "her crappiness wasn't on the list itself in those few posts" doesn't somehow constitute a technical foul that means she must be let back on. The reason you hear from me so much is that most of the mods don't even read the list any more because it's such a pointless sewer; I'd like to make it not one, rather than just shut down the list (which is also possible).
