Hi, I also had someone hold that against me on the german list,
I guess it is a new requirement that was thought up in the recent
past, you can check the wiki history to see when it was introduced.

I was not aware about it until someone said that it was being held against me.

fairness in making accusations is not something that is strong in this
community, it seems that people can just make accusations at will and
if it is not part of the "party line" then that person gets moderated
and otherwise applauded.

It would be nice to have some type of public voting and governance
system, I am reviewing some of them for another project, I cannot
recommend any right now, but liquidfeedback.org seems interesting.

I supposed that my comments will get me banned from the list, so if
that happens, good bye.
