I would urge anyone who is following this thread to read and contemplate
the Arbcom open letter to the WMF, posted early on June 30th. Link:

This statement was sorely needed, as a means to create the space for the
sort of frank and difficult discussions that must take place in order for
the underlying issues to be resolved.
Note that I am sending this email solely in my capacity as a sporadic
volunteer on the projects, both by name and anonymously.
