I have not commented on this issue since that script was created, so the suggestion that I said you couldn't use it is not true. I don't see what this has to do with the board. All sysops can see deleted articles, and the board certainly doesn't go round approving all sysop applications. I'm getting fed up of everything people don't like being blamed on a board decision when no such decision was ever made. You get to see deleted articles by being a sysop and your application for that was rejected by the community, not the board.
Calm down, Angela. I asked Kate about how to get access to the scripts, and she said I had to talk to the board. Here's the conversation from IRC:
<anthony> kate, what's this thing about kate's scripts? <kturner> anthony? <anthony> you said something about getting permission from the foundation to run them <kturner> I asked if I could make it available to all users. The Board of Directors told me not to <kturner> so presumably it's up to them to give permission <anthony> when you say the board told you not to, do you mean someone in particular, or this was brought up at a board meeting? <kturner> by 'told' i mean I said 'should i do this?' on irc and someone said 'probably not' <kturner> and since i don't care that much, i didn't <anthony> no I'm just wondering who to talk to <anthony> angela, apparently <kturner> this was angela
I guess I was misinformed.

there is a big difference between:
<angela> THIS IS A BOARD DECREE - THOU SHALT NOT DO THIS
and:
<angela> probably not
