I don't necessarily agree with that. He has proven beyond any
reasonable doubt that he wants nothing but the best for the project.
We can trust him completely, just as we can trust that Jimbo, Danny,
Angela, David Gerard, you, etc only want the best for the project. He
got banned and desysopped from both wp and meta, an unprecedented
crossproject banishment.
If you made a single mistake similar to this (and it was a mistake,
but I blame Danny more than Eloquence), would you deserve similar
treatment?
It was a removal of a protection. Nothing more. Eloquence deserves an apology.
