I'm completely ignorant to the case other than what I've read on the page, but it would seem to me that some of the support emails here are operating in an even greater information vacuum.

There have been many "Sole defenders of the Wiki" who completely burned out when they realized that the community, in fact, would not let them get away with anything, such as RickK.
