OK... so here's where we apparently are:

Some not completely stated group of people met in secret.  This group 
included people with a strong emotional involvement in one side of a 
raging dispute, and some relatively neutral parties, but (apparently) 
nobody from the other side of the dispute.  People could make 
accusations regarding the behavior of outside parties who had no 
opportunity to respond or defend, and were listened to and heeded in 
proportion to the degree of emotion they put into their claims of 
being attacked or harrassed.  Ultimately, some resolution was 
allegedly reached, but no formal announcement was made, and people 
who were involved have differing impressions as to what was the 
actual final decision.  This decision, though nobody actually knows 
for sure what it is, is now allegedly binding policy on Wikipedia.
