Oh yikes, Phil, please don't misunderstand me! The conversations we
were having were about one or two people who have been repeatedly
harassing large numbers of Wikimedians for years. I am not talking
about editors who engage in discussions and get a bit rude; I am
talking about people who are probably seriously mentally ill.

This is not a backdoor attempt to enforce kindness. We're just trying
to support and protect editors against really very egregious
behaviour.

Thanks,
Sue
