Durova should not be allowed to be the scapegoat in this. She made a mistake which, when she realised it, she immediately corrected and apologised, and then resigned her Adminship. These are worthy actions and, if her re-application for Adminship were being made now, I would unhesitatingly support it.
I was surprised to see that happen. In fact I feel sorry for her in a way. If this was the lesser of two or more evils for her, I have to wonder what the other options really were.
However, there are other "trusted people" who endorsed the mistake -- and they're staying silent as to their identity, allowing Durova to take the fall for them. This is totally unacceptable. I call upon all those who endorsed Durova's block to admit it and test the community's faith in them.
If such people do exist, does Durova believe she has anything left to lose by naming them... or, if they don't exist, does Durova believe she has anything left to lose by making it clear that there were actually no endorsers on the grassy knoll...
Maybe she's already done one of these two things and I missed it.
