Actually, Andrew, I don't think the discussion is over until you've
told the victims of harassment to leave Wikipedia for the good of
Wikipedia. At that point the thread sinks so low that nothing can
redeem it.
"God help you if you dare suggest we've heard enough", I said, and by
golly here it comes.
But I suppose it's too much to ask you don't put words in my mouth.

improve unless someone walks away."

Ah, yes, that last one...
"Like I said originally, this is not personal; this is not because I
dislike any of the participants ... I feel a heel saying it. I wish
the situation wasn't where it's got to."
"This whole thing is ballooning bigger and bigger as time goes on;
what you are doing is harming the project, and if it goes on much
further the incremental damage will be that much worse."
It doesn't seem to have changed much.
