The reaction is predictable:
How many people on that list actually harmed Wikipedia? And of those that did, how many are there because of immaturity, stupidity, emotional instability, or for other reasons for which the 'hand wringing' might be justified? How many were simply victims of a lynch mob?The people on this list are here because they harmed Wikipedia, and Arbcom or the community took action against them because of it. I am not in any way concerned that these people might be "harmed" by being on this publicly available list, as they have only themselves to blame for it. Individual privacy does not eliminate the community's need to protect itself from harm, nor does it abrogate the necessity of the individual to be responsible for their own actions.

I really don't understand the hand-wringing. The people on this list earned their spot on it. Why would we care about how it effects their emotional state?—Kww(talk) 02:02, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
