Even though I'm overall in favor of these *temporary* guidelines, Gogs has some good points, especially the second point. Policing the actions done on another wiki has always been agreed on to be illogical, and this section merely says that actions committed on other wiki's will be punished, except it phrases it in a slightly different way. Bad conversations can and should be ended, yes, but it is beyond our control if they go over to another chat to persist with the conversation. Heck, they would do so even without a public chat prompt. They could easily PM the chat link to the other people involved. There's a fine like between needed discipline and behavioral reshaping such as what is presented in most of this blog, to an absolute crackdown stretching to nearly mental levels.

I agree with the message but mostly disagree with how we are proceeding with it.
