I am not sure where and in what context these accusations were made (I can not recollect seeing any of them), but in any case, be it on wiki or on a mailing list, each of them is uncivil, constitutes a personal attack, and must be stopped by a warning, a block or by putting the offender on moderation. This level of discussion is absolutely unacceptable and can not be tolerated in our community. BTW I think that being an open-minded and able to change opinions is a very appropriate quality for a Trustee.
