At the end of September you engaged in some kind of ultimatum through
private mails instead of reaching out to an actual team, putting
pressure on individuals, which is not OK, and which you've been called
out on. That wasn't brought up on public lists afterwards.

You've been asked at that time, again, not to remove anything. And yet,
you removed contents anyway.

And even if something had been done on the chronicles side, removing
things would definitely not be OK either:

    For now this is an early stages, experimental service! Please do not
    rely on it just yet.

I'm not sure who “the web team” is. As someone who's been contributing
to the website for a number of years, I thought I was also part of it.
And I certainly do not wish *useful* contents to be removed! Quite the
opposite.

Please consider listening to other people, and accepting no as an
answer.
