at the clusterfuck that is happening in the reddis community right now
we can see conversations spilling onto twitter and into ad hominem
vitriol.

You haven't established that this is both 1) the PG mailing list's problem

and that 2) this can't and won't be used to retaliate against those holding

unpopular viewpoints but aren't specifically harassing anyone.

Now, you may say that (2) would be rejected by the committee, but I would

counter that it's still a stain on me and something that will forever appear

along side my name in search results and that the amount of time and

stress it'd take me to defend myself would make my voluntarily leaving

the community, which would be seen as an admission of guilt, my only

option.

If you had read the policy, you would know that wouldn't happen as reports and details of reports are to be kept confidential.

 

People are shitheads. People are assholes. We're not agreeing to join

some organization and sign an ethics clause when signing up for the mailing

list.  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.
