This set of issues sounds like a huge time sink for all involved.
My own plan is to upvote this post, hide it from my frontpage, and then not follow any further discussion about it closely, or possibly at all, at least until the conclusions are posted. I’d encourage anyone else who is able, and thinks they’re at risk of getting sucked in, to do the same.
I trust that Raemon and the rest of the mod team will make good decisions regardless of my (or anyone else’s) input on the matter, and I’m very grateful that they are willing to put in the time to do so, so that others may be spared.
My only advice to them is not to put too much of their own time in, to the detriment of their other priorities and sanity. (This too is a decision I trust them to make on their own, but I think it’s worth repeating publicly.)
A tiny bit of object-level discourse: I like Duncan’s posts, and would be sad to see fewer of them in the future. I mostly don’t pay attention to comments by anyone else mentioned here, including Duncan.
