Unblocked is not exonerated. Showing that the whole process was a farce is exonerated. If nobody leaked the "secret evidence", everyone would assume that there was probably SOMETHING to the evidence, just not enough evidence to convict, as it were.
Minor point: Giano explicitly said that he was no longer able to post it "for your entertainment". I think that was a Freudian slip. Giano clearly has contempt for Durova and wishes to cause maximum embarrassment. I have some sympathy with the former (this was, after all, bad judgment handled badly), but not the latter.
Well, the whole project now knows about the mailing lists. We know that the next time to apparently unrelated admins show up with the same opinion, you have to think for a second before automatically assuming they are acting independently.
As opposed to the situation before, where it was assumed to be the IRC cabal.
publishing the actual "evidence"-- that was a moral imperative.
No it wasn't. sending it to ArbCom might have been, but publishing it was, as Giano freely admitted later, for prurient interest only.
