(emphasis mine)
I have no idea what happened
at all, but there's something about the complete lack of information regarding this matter that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If the goal is to not make a huge deal out of something to avoid causing the community to implode over a trivial flamewar or something like that, then I can completely understand the reasoning. However, I'm getting a strange "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" feeling from this that really worries me.

Could someone please let us in the community know what exactly happened here? I would hope that we can hold ourselves in the community to a higher standard and be able to handle dealing with problems like this transparently.
