And no, my intention was not to imply "if you did nothing wrong, you have
nothing to hide", it was only that, our public actions ought to speak for
themselves.

Hi!
This isn't a he said, she said

based on evidence that is public and difficult (if not impossible) to
delete.
In this particular case, it was based on a comment that was deleted. And
of course most content in our technical spaces (those managed by WMF,
not sure about Github and such) is deletable by admins.
If you feel that you would have to defend your
behavior, perhaps the
behavior ought to be self-examined.
This sounds suspiciously like "if you did nothing wrong, you have
nothing to hide". Which I hope everybody knows is not how it works -
after all, that's why we have our privacy policies - so I assume it was
not the intended meaning. We can have disagreement, and we can make
mistakes, and this is why good process is important. Saying "if you're
worried about good process, maybe it's because you're guilty" - that's
how this comment sounded to me - is not right.
