The ArbCom mailing list has a leak, SlimVirgin wants to call a plumber Options

[Aloft]

There's been an absolutely fascinating discussion taking place on the WT:RFARB page. SlimVirgin is publically accusing James Forrester of leaking ArbCom mailing list information to Kelly Martin. This one has all the key players coming out of the woodwork.

Here are some highlights:

...it's definitely true that someone leaked information about posts I had sent to the ArbCom to Kelly Martin and Cyde. Cyde actually told me himself on one occasion that he knew what I had written to ArbCom...The bottom line is that the ArbCom does need to get its own house in order... what we do know is that someone from the ArbCom is forwarding material to some irresponsible people, who are in turn alluding to it publicly, and spreading it around in e-mails.

Please, take your paranoia and be gone from here with it; it has become tedious and annoying.

It's likely to continue being tedious and annoying, so try to get used to it.

Sarah, I've regularly agreed with you in the past, but you seem to be really jumping at straws lately. This allegation that arbcom-l is leaking has been dreamed up out of nowhere, and has zero substance behind it.

It really doesn't matter who the leaker is; that person clearly doesn't have the courage to step forward. What is clear is that reform of some kind is needed, because the community has very little faith in the arbitration committee because of this kind of thing

... you can't substantiate any of that, and those you are accusing can't refute it. By all means ask JamesF - but do it privately. Or report the matter to the Foundation. This is not the way to go. You cannot hide behind a pseudonym and make actionable accusations about identifiable people - that's what our BLP policy is all about. Now take this elsewhere - or I will delete this page per WP:BLP
