It's okay that some people disagree with this moderation action (others agree, even if they do not say so on-list). This list is not moderated by whole-list-consensus.

Gerard will be unmoderated on March 1st. As always, he is (and other moderated users are) welcome to submit posts to the list before then, and if the posts are respectful and on-topic, they would be let through.
That has not been my experience. In fact the last time I sent a coherently-explained, completely civil, on-topic,and time-sensitive email to the list, it was held by a moderator who:
A) Suggested I was "trolling the WMF" (is trolling an entire 100-person-plus organization even possible?)
B) Faulted it on bases including that I used the phrase "couple days" (i.e. "this might take a couple days") rather than his preferred formulation "couple *of* days"
C) Put it up for a consensus vote among the other list moderators.
I see the list has some new moderators, but I figure odds are this email will be stopped as well.
