>What have I ever said that would make you jump to that conclusion? Stop tarring everyone that things the list is a terrible, completely anti-Wiki idea with that brush. It goes beyond assuming bad faith. Indeed, I referred to WR as a bunch of cranks at one point. Neither WR nor a private list (the 'subscribe' page for cyberstalking said, after all, 'you can apply for the list, but we might not let you on.') is an appropriate place to be discussing Wikipedia business, blocks, etc.

Well I'm sorry you interpreted it that way, it was not my intention.
It is not an "anti-wiki" idea, any more than OTRS or IRC are
anti-wiki ideas.  Sometimes you need to allow people to let off
steam or release hurt or explore a thought in some kind of privacy.
