This seems fair comment and a useful proposal. I would support the concept of such
independent surveys, and them being funded by the foundation. I see a need.

No idea what could be the relation with GamerGate
I too see nothing in common, and since at least a handful of people
hold this view, could the parallels that they see to be made explicit,
please?
pathological people, having been called out on being
pathological
I am having trouble finding anything more than hundreds upon hundreds
of kilobytes of very civil, if considerably indignant, discussion
around the issue, and several people taking principled stances at
great risk to their own standing. So I would also like to see an
example of someone being called out on being pathological, please.
There is always a danger of the tyranny of a vocal and
motivated minority appearing to be the dominant opinion of the community as a whole
Again (after two years and four months) this is why we need regular,
periodic, scientific, carefully sampled surveys of the community:

Is there any reason that the Community Engagement team thinks such
surveys aren't worth the time and effort?
