It is my sincere hope that people will just stop discussing this whole Essjay episode ad nauseum.
Here is someone who made a mistake. You may even say a big mistake.
For that
mistake he lost his credibility, he lost his community, he lost his job

Wikia, and he is the subject of disparaging articles and opinions both
online
and in print.
Apart from a public lynching, what else do people want from him?

Agreed. Let us not forget the immense work he has done for wikipedia, both as a writer and as a part of the administration. The horse has been killed, now lets just let it go.
Agreed. It's really sad...and now worse that it cost him his job. I hate how toxic the culture can become.
