Let me be clear. We will not be held to unethical blackmail. What they did was disgusting, boorish and simply wrong, if possibly legal under Copyleft licensing rules. Out of a desire to injure me, they slapped all of the other contributors to this wiki in the face after all of the contributions and efforts they have made. Their behaviour is outright disgusting, immature and simply selfish and I am not getting into any arguments over the justification for what they have done. There is no legitimate justification. As I stated FROM THE FIRST DAY THIS ISSUE WAS RAISED I have made clear the changes I have instituted, both on these Talk pages and in the wiki's guidelines in the Important Links on the Main Page. Every user will be warned before a permanent ban is instituted and offered information about what they did wrong and how to avoid that error in the future. Every editor who was given an unfair ban recently has been unbanned, save for those who wantonly violated our no-tolerance policy for personal harassment of admins, moderators and editors. If you do not like this wiki's administration, you can edit the Lexicanum or you can create your own wiki on this site or any other from the ground up. CREATE your own, not simply steal it, including massive amounts of work created by people that have no connection to the individual you are in conflict with. Is it legal to steal this wiki's content under Copyleft rules? Probably. Amazon does it for a profit. But everyone knows it is completely unethical and the height of disgusting behaviour. There is simply no justification for it. That's my position and I'm not arguing over it. Our Administrators and Moderators have agreed that this change is necessary and fair and should have been in place from the start. As Lead Administrator, the responsibility for the error is mine and I have moved to rectify past mistakes. And that's it. Do whatever you want, leave it up, pull it down, I'm done with this issue.
