[uf-discuss] Unjust banning of Andy Mabbett

[David Janes]

Perhaps a ban on editing wiki pages that are not being championed by
Andy would be more appropriate? I'm very sympathetic to the case Ryan,
et. al. are making. If the Wiki becomes a battleground for edits over
pedantic over-interpretation of the community rules and standards, it
will quickly become useless to anyone and a time drain on everyone. On
the other hand, Andy has made IMO significant efforts to use, champion
and extend microformats.

Regards, etc...
