torpedoed her. If, for example, CW had said "I use TOR proxies because
I edit from China" I'm sure there would have been a tidal wave of

So, people support letting people's location remain private, as long
as they reveal their location.
That makes a lot of sense.
China's a huge place, almost the same size as the U.S. and over a
billion people. And she could have said "I have a good reason, and
will share it with you (or the ArbCom) privately". There were many,
many potential responses to that question that would have had a
positive outcome.
Admitting to committing a crime against the Chinese government, while
living in China, is a pretty serious thing. I'm wouldn't fault anyone
who chose not to offer up such information voluntarily. Not that this
is necessarily this case here, but maintaining anonymity is a
difficult thing, and if you want to do it you should give out as
little information as possible.
Could she have told you, privately, what her real reason was? Sure,
but she had no obligation to do so. Could she have told the ArbCom?
Sure, but against, she had no obligation to. And maybe she did.
