In the comments on the article and on other social media sites I have seen people having reactions that are … well … reactionary. I have reached out to some of them but I am going to put out a blanket offer here: if you find this scary and vague, I can have an email conversation with you about this to walk through the context.
I'm not on any committee, I don't have secrets, but I do understand the harm that the people who have received suspensions or bans have done, even if they can't see it.
