... I wish I kept more up to date on this set of
threads and had stepped in
to say something sooner. I'm going to go ahead and say that I agree with
Pete that at this juncture the most beneficial course of action would
probably be for Wil to back this set of discussions for at least a few
days, if necessary even by putting Wil on temporary moderation as bizarre
as that sounds. Wil: I'm going to type a private email after I send this
to you, and I promise the last thing I desire is to shut you up - you're
just currently running through a minefield with no map, and it would be
much better if you had a map before continuing.

starting to get the idea that
you guys just want to shut me up. And you're using the fact that I'm
actually being very open about something to justify it. This is
extremely worrying if everyone else on this list agrees with you.

It seems that Wil has chosen to repeat something that was said privately,
about personal safety, in a public forum. It seems likely to me that this
kind of choice would tend to *increase* potential danger, not decrease
it.
I'd like to suggest that Wil's access to this email list be blocked, at
least as a temporary measure. I think his behavior here has been reckless
in a number of ways. This is no judgment on him as a person, but I do
think
we need to protect this list from further
flooding.
I don't know much about the precedents for list access removal, but I
suspect that consensus among active Wikimedians would be pretty strong at
this point. Can anybody comment on what would be necessary to make this
happen?
