As an aside, could we stop writing "office" in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS?
It's starting to kind of creep me out. ;-) The office is not _that_
impressive; believe me, I've been there. :-)
I don't think it's likely that an editor will be indef-blocked for
good faith edits anytime soon -- and if it does happen, we'll try to
straighten it out ASAP. Most of the articles under office protection
end up there because they were written by people not familiar with our
policies of verifiability and neutrality, or those deliberately
violating them. In general, the process is: stub it down and start
from scratch, with more trusted editors taking the lead.
I think the office process is still one we need to eventually reform
(make more transparent, scalable, etc.). But right now we're in the
middle of a major fundraiser and other organizational reforms, so it's
not the highest priority for Board+ED+Legal Counsel.
