Now, you may say that (2) would be rejected by the committee, but I wouldcounter that it's still a stain on me and something that will forever appearalong side my name in search results and that the amount of time andstress it'd take me to defend myself would make my voluntarily leavingthe community, which would be seen as an admission of guilt, my onlyoption.If you had read the policy, you would know that wouldn't happen as reports and details of reports are to be kept confidential.
That doesn't mean I won't be strung along and it doesn't mean that the attacker can't release those details. Remember, I'm worried
about politically motivated attacks, and attacks meant to silence opposing viewpoints, not legitimate instances of harassment.
People are shitheads. People are assholes. We're not agreeing to joinsome organization and sign an ethics clause when signing up for the mailinglist. The current moderators can already remove bad actors from the list.How they act outside of the list is non of this list's concern.The lists are just one of many different ways people in this community interact.
So? We interact with people outside of specific groups all the time. Baring specific
agreements to the contrary, why should any one group claim responsibility of my
personal business?
