SlimVirgin, you seem to have missed this question.
Look, it's obvious. Jay did something - rightly or wrongly - and many people are unhappy about how he went about it. Presumably, if CharlotteWebb was first asked to explain when they first used an open proxy to edit, as you claim, if no response was given the account would have been blocked for using open proxies, and the matter sent to ANI, which it wasn't.
I didn't say CW was first asked to explain when s/he first used an open proxy. I'm assuming she was first asked during the RfA.
In which case, it's reasonable to assume that she was unaware that it might be considered a problem, and hence unreasonable to drop it on her in RFA when the dropper knew about it some time ago.
CW had accepted the nom; hadn't mentioned the open proxies; and people had started commenting. It's not clear there was time for an e-mail correspondence. It was up to CW to sort this out *before* accepting the nom.
How could she, if she was not aware of it until after accepting the nom???
