I agree that it is completely counterproductive to discuss issues like who filed the complaint.
What is however important to understand, especially for those who are not English Wikipedia insiders, is that the reaction which this event caused in unprecedent. For example, by now 19 active admins resigned the tools over the incident in two weeks. Depending on the point of view, one can call this mass protest, or mass madness, or whatever, but this is clearly not an ordinary run-of-the-mill event. It already lead to a lot of troubles and at this point is actually dangerous for stability of the Wikimedia universe.

Considering that nobody posting has any information about the facts of the case, would it not be better to cease from speculation which can have no positive aspects but will certainly be offensive or even defamatory to named individuals.
What you recommend is against human nature. It is natural for one to try to anticipate what others might do, especially if it might have consequences for oneself.
I'm not looking forward to a wikiworld where judgment and punishment rendered in camera by folks whose questionable interpretations of platitudinous Missions and Codes is apparently shaped by the values of an increasingly intolerant subculture. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
