That doesn't accurately capture the point I was trying to make.
(I assume the quotes are more in the nature of having FAQ-like
text as it's not afaics a quote. I'm not sure if that's the most
useful way to have this discussion tbh.)

I very much disagree. The putative incident-log means that at
least someone considered some public data problematic which
could/would affect people's reputations. That log would also
likely have a sequence of bits of text related to each incident
from which one could likely infer who thinks what of whom.

The change in the nature of the datatracker is also a thing to
consider not covered in your response. (Which is ok, I don't
expect all things to be responded to at once.)

Cheers,
