Ok. I will lay out my thinking. Fae, it appears, genuinely has been harassed.
True.

Some of the concerns I have:
- Allegations of behind the scenes movement to avoid scrutiny, for which
Arbcom banned him. This is probably not the sort of behaviour the chair of a public charity should be undertaking, or seen to be undertaking. I understand Fae disputes this particular finding - but nothing conclusive has been presented to lay these allegations to rest.
This is where over-interpretation of ArbCom findings can lead to flawed conclusions. If the ArbCom thinks that someone should be off enWP for the general good, that is within their remit: they have to keep order, to the extent that that can be done, on that one project. Hanging further conclusions on that decision is a bad idea.

I am confident that Fae, as any sensible individual would, will be offering his resignation tonight. The directorship and chair position are distractions from the work he is undertaking within the movement.
Well, that reads much better the other way round, doesn't it? Fae has had a torrid time, but can now employ his time for the chapter's benefit.
