This brings up an issue I'm confused about, perhaps people could clarify.
Until the New York Times article and the various public criticisms that followed, including by Wikipedia editors, I somehow got the impression one could get blocked or banned for saying critical things *off Wikipedia* about WIkipedia, or discussing generally details of different editing disputes, or even sharing details of off Wikipedia harassment - *even if you carefully did Not* post any names of editors or direct links to anything that might identify them. (And I was of course worried that the double standard would raise its head vs. me, when other editors might get away with it.)
Are such general criticisms and discussions off wikipedia OK, just in case people were to post such things on face book or WikiChix lists or other forums? I think it's good to clarify.
(Plus, right now I have a really obnoxious situation of off wiki harassment with a probable ex-editor and I want to say that I think he is a former editor without naming names or providing further evidence, so it is today's concern.)
Thanks!!
