Come on Jimbo, you're better than this.  The email quoted above just 
consists of "ur wrong", with no suggestions as to why.  I must confess 
to being as confused as The Cunctator as to what you mean by such 
blatantly counterfactual assertions.

1) How is someone calling up the Wikimedia Foundation and getting a page 
protected not going "over the head" of editors, and not acting in a 
"top-down manner"?  Even if justified in some cases, it's clearly doing 
just that.

2) You have explicitly stated that we ought to treat articles on living 
people in a different manner than other articles.  Isn't that "some 
articles having different policies than other articles"?
