There are reasons to avoid legal liability for onwiki action. Period. That
is
a good thing to do. Period.

There is no good reason for chapters to keep their distance from WMF
projects. Period.

To suggest there are good reasons for chapters to keep their distance from
WMF
projects is incomprehensible, illogical, impossible in the utmost, and
totally
unfathomable in the absolute. Period.

Since you wish to be informed of what is correct (notice you are still using
the royal "we"); let me inform you of something you may not have noticed,
namely that the chapters almost solely consist of editors *from* the WMF
projects. Saying that the chapters should stay at arms lenght from the
WMF projects is like saying that a Centipede should stay an arms length
from it's legs.
