Guy, I'm afraid you're missing the point. This was a *community *issue that
drew the attention and interest of editors from all kinds of areas.  It was
about big picture things, not about individual editors.

And I think it is disingenuous to bring up SlimVirgin's name here. Most
people have the sense to remember that *somebody* always has to nominally be
in charge of a list, and there is no doubt that Slim has good reason to have
an interest in cyberstalking.  The community as a whole has assumed good
faith about Slim with respect to this issue, which I fully support.
