Not everyone on the ML is part of all the groups you are -- which is not to say they're being secretive on purpose, but I'm sure you've noticed that communication has been kind of an ongoing issue throughout the AO3.

Furthermore, even if every idea floated had been compiled in a nice pretty list and sent directly to wranglers' inboxes, why would it be a problem for some of us to repeat the ones we feel strongly about? Surely it's important not just to have a list of ideas, but to know which ones people think would be most useful.

I don't have the faintest idea which comments you, or the chairs, viewed as "abusive." Seriously, I just went back and reread all 50+ emails in case there was some nastiness that had slipped my notice, and I'm still at a loss.
