I read Bernstein's original post a couple days ago, and followed up by reading the wikipedia arbitration.
The real crux of the problem is that there's a mismatch between the broad scope of what Wikipedia's rules try to prevent against (biased editing) vs what gamergate is using Wikipedia for (a tool of harassment).
So the question is whether Wikipedia's rules are sufficient to prevent fiddling with the site and its purpose in order to harass people and are simply being misapplied, or whether Wikipedia is just structurally unable to prevent obvious coordinated campaigns of harassment.
