Gmaxwell sayeth:
QUOTE
In a number of forums there is a claim being spread that the WMF has completely ignored the NPG and therefore somehow left Dcoetzee hung out to dry. This misunderstanding appears to stem from statements like "Wikimedia Foundation has ignored this request" and "Wikimedia Foundation has ignored our client’s attempts" in the letter. [...]
Well, no: Dcoetzee is being hung out to dry because Gmaxwell, Lar, and the rest of the "T&P" crowd, have denied him the ability to make a crucial decision in his own interests and future.
One simple, and honorable, adjustment and the entire "hung out to dry" argument disappears. Completely! Is it not the supremely ironic that Lar can choose to fix his mistake and move on, but Dcoetzee can not?
Maybe it's time for some "Free Dcoetzee" t-shirts?
