There is not any sort of cabal. You want these types of discussions more open, while there's another thread attacking us for making the same kind of discussions easier to find and saying it ruins reputations. The majority of users understand how the wiki works, and a minority just see conspiracies and cabals.
An invitation-only group meeting in secret to decide things that, by the stated rules of the wiki, should be decided by open consensus meets the dictionary definition of a conspiracy or cabal.
I support blacklisting this website, of course.
I also encourage whomever is the closest Wikipaedia has to an ambassador to go under a white flag and talk to the people at one of these attack sites or whatever they are.
