| ::I am not sure 'which questions' you mean. I would certainly agree that transparency is of utmost importance and thus I have always supported public logging of IRC discussions (which I think is part of the issue you are rising). However from my personal experience and looking at reasons why users I respect have limited or stopped contributing to Wiki, it is not because they were afraid or wronged by some (IRC or not) 'cabal', but because the level of incivility and trolling on Misplaced Pages is rising, and our ways of dealing with it is far from streamlined. I would be more afraid of Wiki turning into Usenet flame party then of it being taken over by any cabal.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 17:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

- I think your question would be more visible and easier to understand if you asked it directly in the talk page. Myself, I've had problems understanding what you were asking about. --Lysy 16:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
