All:
I don't know the first thing about the alleged safety concerns discussed on IRC, but the following quote is troubling to me:
On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 2:51 PM, Wil Sinclair wllm@wllm.com wrote:

It seems that Wil has chosen to repeat something that was said privately, about personal safety, in a public forum. It seems likely to me that this kind of choice would tend to *increase* potential danger, not decrease it.
I'd like to suggest that Wil's access to this email list be blocked, at least as a temporary measure. I think his behavior here has been reckless in a number of ways. This is no judgment on him as a person, but I do think we need to protect this list from further flooding.
I don't know much about the precedents for list access removal, but I suspect that consensus among active Wikimedians would be pretty strong at this point. Can anybody comment on what would be necessary to make this happen?
