I laughed. Thank you for this. But remember, I was in front of Arbcomm for a not too dissimilar case, being accused of overreaching and an unhelpful response and tone (false, true and true, in that order). I learned from my mistakes. More importantly, I hope (and believe) that the WMF learned from my mistakes. The people on the T&S team are neither dumb nor disconnected. Quite the opposite. I hired and worked with a couple of them and know them to be talented, thoughtful and deliberate. I know Katherine to be the same. On the basis of that “insider” knowledge - and that is truly all the insider knowledge that I have here - I trust that there is more here that I do not and can not know. I trust the people and the process. I wish I could find a way to share that trust in such a way that it would be adopted by more. Maybe you have to live it to develop it, but these are talented staff making hard decisions. No doubt they will err some - but it’s not because they didn’t try everything they know to get it right. I wish we could put away the pitchforks - and also (on the wmf side) make ourselves available and open to listening and sharing whatever we can - if there is anything and try like hell to deescalate this thing. Or give me time to go buy more popcorn. One or the other.
