It turns out that Lila is actually a perfect ED. Someone capable to handle and love a person like Wil is -- should be quite competent in handling the rest of the community :D On May 29, 2014 1:21 AM, "Wil Sinclair" wllm@wllm.com wrote:
Hi Erik, just for guidance here- should I not publicly respond to those who have publicly address me or talked about my actions or words directly?
You guys are moving in a *very* sketchy direction here. These mails are archived; it will be quite clear what everyone said before I was blocked if you decide to go that route. You are talking about very obviously censoring a person who has been saying inconvenient things in a high-profile manner. Is this the kind of Free Speech Wikipedia supposedly stands for?
Seriously. I really want to know.

This is no judgment on him as a person, but I do think we need to protect this list from further flooding.
As a reminder, this list has an official "soft limit" of 30 posts per individual/month, as stated on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l . It's encouraged for participants to stay below this limit in order for the conversation(s) not to be dominated by a single participant. In a listserv context, this is especially important, because it's a "push" medium that gets delivered directly to people's inboxes (contrary to a web forum), in some cases without filters.
By my count, Wil has posted to this list >50 times this month, which is a bit excessive.
Wil: I would encourage you to respect the norms of this list and refrain from excessive posting. I don't see an issue with any of the _topics_ you're wanting to talk about, just the volume/frequency at which you've been doing it.
Cheers,
Erik
