My friends, after talking privately with Lir I feel it is only fair for us to withdraw our objections to his participation on Wikipedia. He has agreed to be good, and that is good for all of us.
I suppose some of us may want a sort of statement from him, or may still want to express concerns. I ask only that you be gentle and considerate, bearing in mind as always that "example is the best teacher".
