Hoi,
Bans that cannot be appealed against are nothing new. A friend of mine has
a lifetime ban and there are mitigating circumstances (imho). Having said
that; for me a person who shuns Wikipedia as an editor for its negativity,
this has been a long time coming and is very welcome. When people leave
Wikipedia and we end up with a more civil environment it is well worth it.
Yes I read the statement and it does say ineffect "we struggled and were
not able to cope".
Thanks,
GerardM
