you're failing to recognize the possibility of alternative explanations that place the whole thing in a

much

different light. That was a key mistake I made. You're making it too.

Well, that's a very valid possibilty. I would like to point out two critical differences though: 1. I'm not accusing you or anyone else of bad faith-- merely poor judgement. !! was suspected of actually trying to subvert it. The wpinvestigations-l sleuths are merely suspected of exhibiting poor judgment. Nobody is suspecting you of subversion, we're just suspecting you guys of inadvertantly causing more harm than good. ****** Remember, that list didn't exist yet. See above.

2. I'm not trying to ban anybody. I'm just saying-- administrators of this project obviously rendered judgments on your evidence-- we should be able to see those judgments, so we can better assess how to help those individuals better contribute to the project. Worst case scenario, they have to return to the community and ask if they are still trusted.
