25 I am having trouble understanding you, unfortunately. It seems like
26 you agree with his removal from the list. I suppose that is okay,
27 originally I just tuned the conversations out because they were noisy.
28
29 The summary I have tried to provide is: despite the fact wltjr does
30 not seem to have a filter, he has so far not actually been incorrect.
31 The developers involved, on the other hand, have been contradicting
32 themselves since I first saw this around 2013. At some point they
33 appear to have provided him an "out" and would have let him apologize,
34 but he wants an apology from them.

36 Cheers,
