[Foundation-l] Pedophilia and the Non discrimination policy

[Geoffrey Plourde]

Foundation level issue is whether or not a community have the right to exclude a specific class or category of users from editing based upon unsubstantiated claims of potential misbehavior?

Without picking on anyone in particular, I urge everyone to go back
and reread Brad's comment earlier.

This conversation is following the path that public discussions on
this have repeatedly before.

It is not clear that anyone has raised any issues which are
appropriate or necessary for the Foundation to deal with.

The English language Wikipedia policy, slightly codified as it is, has
been stated and explained.  If you want to discuss that further I
would recommend taking it to Wikien-L, or start a policy discussion
on-Wiki.

If you have a specific claim that the Foundation has to or should
intervene please state that, simply and concisely.  Otherwise, in my
opinion, this is going far afield from appropriate on Foundation-l.

I am not a list mod and have no pretense that I can make the
conversation go away.  But - please consider if you're holding a
productive conversation, and please consider if it's even vaguely in
the right place.

Thanks.
