Well, in my own case I can confirm the decision was completely secret, issued by some unstated entity inside the WMF, and when I knew about it by a third party , the reason presented was blatantly false. I have requested an appeal, with no success till the moment. So, at this point, I am not so prone to consider WMF attitude on this case above suspicion. The WMF has a long history of using its culture of medieval obscurity as an excuse for not having to explain what is perceived as abuse.
