Hello,
A strange thing about the conversation that was going on before it escalated
isn't addressed at all. Something is happening on Meta. The community takes
action and then a few months later everything is passed and the user is
unblocked and working happily again. But then *BOOM* a Wikimedia Foundation
Staff member decided that he should be removed. The discussion if he is
informed or not can't be proofed, its a fact that other users say the same was
happening to them. Why did you wait three months to take action? While if you
believed that there was a danger you should have removed the rights before
that. Or where there any edits that made you believe that Huib / Abigor was
doing the wrong things? Otherwise the story is different but the subject is the
same. Staff removes volunteer without the real need.
I do strongly believe that Tilman Bayer with his responds provoked Huib to say
the things he said. And no its not good that Huib did. But there where enough
discussions on this lists or on the Wiki where the conclusion is that users
with a mental problem can have problems on the Wiki because we don't understand
them. Or we don't want to understand them. When we look at the first e-mail
send by Tilman you see he is pointing that at the moment that the rights where
removed he was blocked on multiple Wiki's. I did take a quick look and in
November it was going the right way with Abigor.
If there is a case of Autism with Abigor it is possible that it provoked him to
give a personal attack. So lets continu without pointing fingers who did what
wrong. Cause if Abigor thinks different than us it possible that Tilman
provoked him. And the pointing to that was not needed to make his case.
Ed
