He didn't enforce our copyright policies. He made a massive,
unilateral deletion of content and CLAIMED he was enforcing our
copyright policies.

If you shoot someone and then claim self-defense it doesn't make your
claim necessarily true.

The claim of copyright enforcement here as a justification for the
mass deletion of BJAODN content is laughable.

Moreover, it's a terrible precedent to set.

Even with the reasonable though highly disruptive project of clearing
out badly sourced images there was a real effort to put lots of
safeguards on the deletion project.

This was done unilaterally and he is wheel warring against restoration.
