It seems like there is a pretty strong consensus on this list, WJohnson - its custom and reasonable to expect editors not to use the real names of other editors who request otherwise, and reasonable to demand that editors who refuse to follow that custom agree to do so before they edit further. ...

Is there a similar policy that might expect editors not to wish ill will on outcast editors, or to label their work and their clients' payments as not ethical? I've asked the WMF to have these posts removed, but only received a haughty reply from Mike Godwin, telling me that because this mailing list is not prescreened by the WMF, Wikimedia has no need or courtesy to delete the posts:

I contend that the list *is* prescreened by the WMF, since I've had messages blocked before by the Press Officer of Wikimedia UK. I'm not surprised, though. It's the typical "revenge platform" mentality for the WMF and its cronies.
Revenge begets more revenge.

Wikimedia UK is an entirely separate entity from WMF. Think of chapters as "official fan clubs with a licence to use the trademarks."
My job as a listmod here is in my capacity as a volunteer Wikipedia editor and community member.

Ah, that's your justification for your ongoing sockpuppeting? Jolly good.
