How is he allowed to make such a public disclosure to sink an RFA? Any
question of whether Jay's actions are inappropriate (if not a violation of
the Foundation Privacy Policy?) are deflected by SlimVirgin.
Is Jayjg in violation of the Wikipedia Privacy Policy by disclosing this
to
affect a Requests for Adminship? He also implies he has similar data on
others, yet has not acted on them. Sitting on them for the political winds
to be right?

Aside from all the other responses in this thread to this rather bizarre
e-mail, I am frankly baffled as to what "political ends" I might be pursuing
in this case. I don't recall "CharlotteWebb" ever expressing a political
POV
on anything, and, in fact, I don't recall ever interacting with him/her.
Jay.
