Perhaps it would help if you could share with us some of these emails
Unfortunately I'd rather not do that with email that was intended to be private. Some of the email was public and you can probably dig it up from the tz archives.
Could you provide pointers, please, rather than asking us to search without any clues.
At present it's obvious that the meaning of "equity" isn't agreed by the whole list. You clearly have a meaning in your head It's not just in my head; it's written down in the guidelines (see theory.html).
A quote here would be useful.
As I wrote to Stephen a few minutes ago, I thought it was understood that the guidelines are intended to be applied fairly.
The problem is what "fairly" means. Particularly since "equity" doesn't necessarily have the same meaning. This is why explicit definitions from you would help. -- Clive D.W.
