I really think a public forum discussion should have taken place regarding this before any action was taken to minimise the risk to this wiki's reputation.

I think your point about your surprise regarding the speed of this debate is a little contradictory, Amorkuz. Surely, the speed of the discussion reflects the fact that while this thread is open there is a serious jeopardy of our reputation diminishing and that the sooner it resolved, the better? I expect this conversation does not look great to outsiders, especially when there is a new user who feels he has been personally attacked by an admin, the first port of call for new users.

Furthermore, when Wylder took to Twitter to voice his concerns, the statement received lots of support with one person even commenting "people are assholes sometimes". This very debate was also the reason for the early release of Arcbeatle's most recent anthology, linked above by Revan.

Surely you can't argue it would be beneficial to the wiki's reputation for this debate to continue for months more?
