Hi, I'm puzzled of those emails. Especially melting organisational discussions and private issues.
Who sleeps with whom is of no importance actually. What you seem to describe is someone using a personal relationship with a leader of our movement to push forward its POV. This asks for an organisational discussion, not a personnal one. What happens in someone's private life is private. If you believe that we're facing a leadership issue, as a movement, please say so. Now, and this is not a first, you're hinting that there are issues on the english Wikipedia following last weeks wikimedia-l discussions. Fair enough, but what ARE those issues? (Austin asked the question I failed to find a clear answer sadly.) From my point of view, french wikimedian, all I saw is some drama around specific topics that stopped days ago. As far as I know, the crisis isn't going further than that. And what your email, sofar, is doing, is generating fruitless discussions. Hinting someone dumping someone else is NOT an organisational solution. From my culture and my values it's not only rude and violent, but way over the line. So if you want to solve the issue wp:en, one of many projects if I dare remind you, is facing could you please : * Recap the situation * Provide links to the discussions you mention * Provide organisational solutions Then, we, the larger community you reach out to through that email, will be able to assess the situation and perhaps help you get through this.
