This is why it's so important for people to be a little less attached
to the contents of their sekret deliberation.  It gets very hard to
reasonably guage what's going on.    The longer people demand "this is
secrect, Arbcom doesn't get to know anything about my 'in dept'
discussions with duova", it just feeds into the feeling that where
there's smoke, there's fire.

Right now it's not so bad.  Next week, people start getting terrified
that running arbcom candidates are among the five who had "in depth"
conversation, it'll turn a lot uglierer and accusations will start
flying,  and I don't know how to stop that situtation except to BEG
the people who really are responsible come forward and let, at  a
minimum, arbcom see their 'sekret deliberations'
