Hmm, I am offline at the moment, but it has always been my position and
the position of the ArbCom (mostly, not everyone has always agreed about
the details of course) that (a) we should not seek to police what
Wikipedians are doing on other websites generally, and (b) off-Wikipedia
behavior (such as harassment, "outing", etc.) is relevant to the
Wikipedia banning process.
We trust the ArbCom to act thoughtfully, and we have some checks and
balances in place.
