Dear all,
I beg your pardon, that I have quoted this statement in my blog. As mentioned before, I had never intended to condemn anyone or even expose.
It served me merely to illustrate the various points of view. The fact that this statement was highly exaggerated and was expressed in a moment of excitement, should be clear for each by now.
Relating to the terms of the previously agreed-upon rules for this workshop *("You are OK to use and share the knowledge you gain, but not to make confidential details public. So you can say afterwards "I know a chapter had X problem and this is what they did and it did/didn't work". But it would not be OK to post on an email list afterwards "I heard Wikimedia XX had a treasurer called Joe Bloggs who stole all their money - what a bunch of idiots".")* [1] I thought it was OK this way. I suppose I should have been even more carefully.
Regards, Steffen

I really have to wonder, do we want a community where the leaders have to
be so anodyne, colourless, and always "on message" that the occasional "spirited" remark results in the Spanish Inquisition?
Dunno, but... reminds me of a certain recent event at Mozilla. https://brionv.com/log/2014/04/05/people-should-be-allowed-to-be-wrong/
