I agree that if Daniel had simply walked away from the mess, it would be
right to call him out on it.
However, I didn't see any evi

While there's 475 links to wikitech-l archives on en wikipedia. That's
more than a "few" imo.

If you were treated this way consistently by someone, and the
community defended that person rather than calling them out on their
poor behavior, would you continue to volunteer? Do you expect staff to
continue working
- I warned about broken links myself before, there is a trail for this on RT
All other opinions aside, this isn't good enough for a public list--RT
tickets aren't public. I don't even have an account there. Some public
posting (to the list, on a wiki somewhere) would be much better.

Tyler is right. So let's be positive and read that "what's your plan" as
a generic you, a question to the audience/community, and get the issue
fixed all together. I made my proposal/question/suggestion, it's the

I need to call you out on this MZ. This is an incredibly rude way to
