 Meritocracy ''is'' problematic. However, meritocracy is surprisingly
 ''not'' one of the problems which led to the need for a Code of Conduct in
 our case; the person who was expelled was a simply a mascot, and—despite
 repeated public claims to the contrary—was not really a productive
 contributor. Instead, what we are saying is that you must have, in a
 sense, a ''proof of stake'' in the outcome of the discussions. While we
 normally welcome contributions to our discussions regardless of their
 origin, in this case we cannot tolerate outsiders with Opinions coming in
 and ruining our communal space.

 Also: Excuse you. Alison is a wonderful, productive member of our
 community, whose work has progressively made Tor into a better, safer,
 kinder place to work and community to be involved in. If anyone with stake
 in the outcome has a specific complaint, that is to be addressed directly,
 rather than ad hominem attacks on a Trac ticket.
