I am not sure where and in what context these accusations were made (I can
not recollect seeing any of them), but in any case, be it on wiki or on a
mailing list, each of them is uncivil, constitutes a personal attack, and
must be stopped by a warning, a block or by putting the offender on
moderation. This level of discussion is absolutely unacceptable and can not
be tolerated in our community.

BTW I think that being an open-minded and able to change opinions is a
very appropriate quality for a Trustee.
