We don't exist in a world where entities matter but individuals do not. It would appear that AffComm is trying very hard not to publicly discredit any individuals. By senselessly ruling out that this could be true, you're unnecessarily pushing them to 'out' potential misconduct in a way that won't help the movement or any future Philippines-based affiliate. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
