What this debate boils down to is what kind of atmosphere we want on Wikipedia. Some people are arguing that we don't want an atmosphere of censorship, and that's a valid point of course. My argument is that we shouldn't want an atmosphere in which some people are being outed, attacked, ridiculed, and having their families and their friend's families contacted by lunatics. And when it does happen, Wikipedians should stick together, no matter their editing differences, and should make clear that it's totally unacceptable behavior.
There have been a couple of comments in this thread from people who are coming very close to saying some people deserve to be outed and attacked. It's a sad day to see that from anyone posting to this list.
Common sense and basic empathy need to guide us here, just as they do over other BLP issues. This *is* a BLP issue, unless we're assuming we're not really flesh and blood behind these keyboards.
