As far as I'm concerned, there is no issue with the chair being banned, particularly by a body that has strayed so far from its remit as the enwiki ArbCom.
Again if you read my opening post you will find that that your opinion of arbcom is quite irrelevant. The arguments would apply just as well if Fae had been community banned on AN/I.
I am not about to pretend I always agree with Fae, nor defend everything he has done, but I would ask that those calling for his head remember that he was comfortably elected as a trustee at the last AGM, unanimously elected chair by his fellow trustees, and uncontroversially (despite the best efforts of a small number of trolls to engineer a controversy after the fact) elected chair of the WCA.
First two were pre opening of arbcom case and the third, well are you seriously trying to describe argue that [[User:The ed17]] is a troll? The data we have suggests that the WCA being a largely non en project (their official language is esperanto) wasn't aware of the situation and we don't know how they are going to react now.
It would be a grave error for the WMUK board to allow its decision making to be dictated by the whims and fancies of ArbCom.
Again no one is suggesting that. I don't think ArbCom have made any comment on if Fae should remain on the board or remain chair of WMUK.
