Thanks Francesca, It seems a shame that an Arbcom case in which one person was blocked for offwiki harassment and another would have been if the evidence had been conclusive has been reported as if they'd decided instead to spare the harasser for privacy reasons.
As Thryduulf put it "there is no doubt that had we been able to conclusively connect the perpetrator to a Wikipedia account that action would have been taken (almost certainly a site ban). <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather/Proposed_decision#Off-wiki_harassment_against_Lightbreather>" You could point her to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather/Proposed_decision#Off-wiki_harassment_against_Lightbreather A story warning mysogynists that Arbcom will and has acted against those it catches would have made it easier to attract women to wikipedia and deter misogynists.
