Dariusz,
I've read and reread the WMBE message, and have not found anything near
"pushing people who felt harassed or mistreated to step forward".
I also do not understand why you're addressing WMBE as "Romaine" (begging
the question?).
Can you please clarify?

whoa!
pushing people who felt harassed or mistreated to step forward is not ok
at all. I do not honestly understand why the story from nearly a year ago
has emerged, with personal details.
It is not unusual for people who caused distress to not have done it
intentionally, and to genuinely believe they did nothing wrong. It is
nevertheless the role of the safety team to react to any reports they
receive.
Romaine, you're describing "a rumor that WMBE's treasurer was planning to
attack that grants person" and are surprised that the safety team acted
upon this rumor. I hope it is clear that they did exactly what they should
have done. If there are rumors about physical violence, unbelievable as
they may seem, the bottom line common sense is to approach the alleged
would-be attacker and request politely that they stay away, to deescalate
even just a potentially tense situation.
I personally believe this fork of the discussion threat deserves a quick
EOT and salting.
Dariusz "pundit" (replying in my absolutely personal, and hastily
expressed opinion)
