I think it's OK to mourn the loss of someone's future contributions and participation, without purporting to make a decision on the substance of any accusations. I read Romaine's e-mail and thought it sad that he felt it necessary to withdraw. I also am not blindly trusting of T&S. This is the same team that took the extraordinary and unique step of banning an en.wp admin for saying "fuck arbcom", apparently not anticipating or taking any steps to mitigate the inevitable blowback.
