Within a week, DennyColt disappeared, after having escalated his language
with respect to BADSITES to calling Wikipedia Review a hate site, becoming
verbally aggressive on a Request for Clarification from Arbcom, and being
named in an RfC. By that stage, a lot of people were wondering about him.
But the BADSITES proposal closely parallels earlier writings by other
editors, and interestingly a much-watered-down kernel of the proposal
in BADSITES is nearing consensus on the WP:NPA policy.

It seems to me that this argument has only been recently put forward
and yet the whole controversy about the proposal is much older than
this. I'm having trouble reconciling the two.
The first version of BADSITES was started on April 6th. Within a week
I had already privately e-mailed people regarding my suspicions that
it was a strawman. On April 27 there were several public statements to
that effect on this maillist, including one by me. That was over a
month ago.
