"I have found this dispute to be deeply unpleasant and stressful, and I really do not wish to find myself in this kind of situation again. I am therefore withdrawing from Wikipedia. I will still read articles, and fix typos when I find them, but I will no longer be working seriously on any more Wikipedia articles."
Having been through this kind of crap myself (c/o net-you-know-who) I know how he feels.
This whole affair has been yet another bit of public muckraking sand brawling that has resulted in a longterm contributor leaving (how long has jdwolff been here?) I haven't followed this saga closely, but this certainly stands out as another example of why this kind of dispute needs to be contained and resolved immediately, especially if real names are involved.

I think this was an unfortunate way to start a rumour. [[User:Jfdwolff]] has made over 100 edits today, I'm glad to say.
This isn't the first time people have tried to score points on this list by saying or implying 'X left because ...'. Could we have a truce on all of that, please?

I'd just like to add that I wish they'd never named that movie that.
