I agree that it is completely counterproductive to discuss issues like who filed the complaint.
What is however important to understand, especially for those who are not English Wikipedia insiders, is that the reaction which this event caused in unprecedent. For example, by now 19 active admins resigned the tools over the incident in two weeks. Depending on the point of view, one can call this mass protest, or mass madness, or whatever, but this is clearly not an ordinary run-of-the-mill event. It already lead to a lot of troubles and at this point is actually dangerous for stability of the Wikimedia universe.
