I don't particularly understand the claims against this man, but as this organization and its discussions happen (almost) entirely online [is this correct?], surely it must be incredibly obvious whether or not allegations brought against him are true or not?

It seems it's not that simple. At least according to him, this wasn't all online, e.g. consider this quote:

> I do not recall being asked to remove the names of the companies involved, I have only now seen that they have been edited out of my post. I cannot find any evidence that such a request was even made. This would have been a trivial matter on my part and I would have done it without argument if I had have seen such a request.

As I understand, the question wasn't the veracity of the claims - I'm not sure those were contested. The question was whether they warranted his removal, and that comes down to how much you care about the Code of Conduct and believe team members are responsible for upholding its legitimacy, even if they disagree privately or internally.
