To summarize, "This is for Wikipedia work, not personal stuff... but some
personal stuff is OK." Exactly the sort of ambiguity which lets everyone
get in maximum amounts of trouble by misinterpreting it in their favor.
You (Tony) emphasize the WP work aspect. Other people take the other
information aspects at its word... and some go overboard.
What nonsense. There is personal stuff. To remind you, you falsely
claimed that "People should be allowed and encourage to develop their
personal identity on Wikipedia" and I said:
"Why? Wikipedia isn't a web host, a blog or a social networking site.
Those who are looking for such sites will find that there are plenty
of those around. There is only one Wikipedia."
"Some personal stuff is okay" is not the same as "People should be
allowed and encourage to develop their personal identity on
Wikipedia". Rather the reverse, I should say.
