This is a misrepresentation of the events that took place. The PAUSE 
admins articulated that they will not allow me to exercise my right of 
FIRSTCOME[1], which led to the following[2]:

As it was not immediately obvious that I am acting under duress, I wrote 
the following clarification[3]

Then you turn around and say:

The dispute has *not* been resolved. The PAUSE admins simply pushed one 
of the disputing parties out.

Your suggestion that "we have never stripped an author of their 
authority" doesn't match your actions over the past couple weeks.

Have the integrity to own up to creating the very precedent you claim 
never happened.
