Bodhisattwa and Nathan,
If I imagine myself in James' shoes, I would be thinking a lot right now
about:
* What are my legal obligations around what I may or may not say
* What are the difficult-to-predict consequences to WMF, to Wikimedia,
and/or to oneself of saying various things
* What obligation I have to speak, when no charge against me has been made
(at least publicly), and when my term as a trustee is now over
Speaking for myself, if I were James, I would not be rushing into any
public statement.
The people we need most to hear from right now are the eight people who
made a mysterious decision. The two people who opposed the decision might
or might have interesting responses -- I too am curious to hear what they
will say. But it's the majority and/or chair of the Wikimedia Foundation
Board we need most to hear from.

Hey Doc,
The community wants to know about what happened. I think, you need to talk
about this.
Regards,

Why be cute about it, then? Just say what happened and leave the games to
others.
