We moderators are not going to allow any member on this message board to use any thread as a place to trash anyone's name or reputation, no matter who they are or what they've done. We are also not going to allow gossip or hearsay about anyone. That is why I have edited some of the posts here.

We don't know many things for sure about Katya. Some people are making some guesses about who she is and why she does some things that some people find annoying or disturbing. But none of those guesses have been proven yet.

So for the time being, please remember that it is not the job of any of the members here to discipline any other member ("She did bad, so we're going to make sure that everyone knows her list of sins, and we're going to lobby everyone to gang up against her, and we're going to shut her down", etc). If any member is upset by anything that another member does, it is that member's job to contact a moderator, so that the moderator team can decide about what kind of discipline is warranted, if any.

The moderator team has been working very hard with Katya, whenever we have the opportunity. We are also taking steps to deal with the most recent objections. It may look like we are doing nothing behind the scenes, but that is not true. We are very active on this case.

Joy
