Acheick was actually not asked, as I understand it, to come and give further statements. The point was raised that why should second-hand people such as Alan keep coming to represent Achieck when she she herself had made it clear that her "Farewell" letter was indeed her "farewell" and her final word on the matter, and that she had no more intention of coming to the boards to post. Also, Carol has also stated she would not come back and post.
Then WC pointed out that even if they both were inclined to come argue on our boards again, they can and should handle their disagreements via e-mail, if they chose to.
Yes, I did read Acheick's last letter and felt for the most part that it was well-written and as you say, even encouraging at the end, but the kind of statements, to name but one, covered by confidentiality are, where she said:
"And of course, most people are going to know something was up when two boards were abruptly shut down without much of an explanation."
I have had personal, private communication with Kathy as to why she chose to ask her board to be taken down, but the e-mails back and forth to Kathy are covered by mutually-understood confidentiality. To publicly state the reasons for her board coming down without first getting Kathy's permission would be a breach of trust. If Kathy gives me permission, only then will I discuss the matter.
There are other points Achieck raised which perhaps don't mean much in particular to you, but which again touch on confidential issues.
Also, I am not sure that if we allowed Achieck's letters to be posted, whether she would then feel that she has "closure." If WC or other coordinators then chose to respond to her newest letters (as he did to her first "Farewell" letter) would this not open the boards to endless back-and-forth posts?
Also, Achieck's statements such as the following are not particularly condusive to seeking a peaceful parting and closure. She says:
However, I can't contribute to something that I am so passionate about when my every move is questioned or scrutinized and used to further their own agenda in a deceptive manner.
If her post had lacked statements like that and had not touched on confidential issues, that would have been an entirely different matter.
