The primary criticism that I felt was valid in the whole mess was the fact that only non-native speakers were even involved with creating content for the Moldovan Wikipedia, including one particularly argumentative individual who was an American that was blocked from en.wikipedia due to flame and edit wars, and moved on to smaller wikis like the Moldovan Wikipedia because he could be a "big fish" there. I'm not sure where he picked up Romanian or Moldovan as a language, but he was also quite active on several other language editions of Wikipedia as well, and was one of the leading opponents of closing down the Moldovan Wikipedia. In short, I don't really consider most of those opposed to closing down this edition of Wikipedia to be all that credible, as has been the general concensus on this issue when brought up on Meta.
I'm curious as to the identity of this individual. I'm guessing you're referring to me; for your information, I'm not blocked on en.wp.

I also don't enjoy the badmouthing.
