Wikipedia. You edited a lot of the libertarian and more right-wing

that anyone would have a problem with
Lightbreather ,
Thank you for all your efforts and take care.
Though I have not known you personally . It makes me sad that you have to
resign due to harassment. I wish it were not the case.
I hope this serves as trigger for us to not just debate but also take
concrete action about harassment in
Once I saw that only 600 odd editors elected Arbcom I saw how easy it
was for cliques and POV pushers supporting specific Arbs to take it over
and use it for their own purposes, including continuing male supremacy
on Wikipedia... They should have at least a floor of 1000 editors before

Hi Lightbreather -
I know I haven't been very active lately (I wound up with sepsis,) but I am
sorry to see you go. I'm not very familiar with the on-wiki side of what
happened to you, but I think it should be an urgent priority for WMF to
develop better tools (and a culture that uses them) to

Plus all that on-wiki harassment!
I did notice something interesting and actually positive in
Lightbreather's arbitration,
Totally understandable. I too have also been sexually harassed and doxxed,
on at least two other sites besides WP. The ArbCom and the WMF are well
aware of it, and have been unwilling to lift a finger against it.
There is a book about cyber harassment making the rounds: Hate Crimes in
This might also be a good time to mention the conversation about harassment
on the recent Inspire grant project. Fourteen of the proposals were
concerned with managing harassment. I don't believe I ever saw anyone from
the Foundation comment on this.
There is a tendency to ascribe a great deal of power to the Arbitration
Committee of English Wikipedia - and of the various arbitration committees,
it is the one with the greatest scope and perceived power. In fact, Arbcom
