Recently a member of our WAFEC community decided to engage in attacks
against my employer and myself. I don't want to give this individual any
more air time as hes detracting from the objective of the project and list
and he's technically banned from OWASP. You may have noticed I had to
respond to his attacks with a different email address, owasp.org email
domain wont even allow his emails. I don't want to revisit old history but
his statements about his reputation are false. I've asked one of his
references to corroborate my version of things, (bcc on this email) and
hope that response will be forthcoming soon. He's already been through the
OWASP ethics complaint process and gotten banned. Previous WASC folks
warned me about him as well when I took over the project.

I've had him on moderation since Wednesday and intend to remove him from
the list and the project on Monday. Please contact me if you have concerns
and I'll respond as I can. It's a holiday weekend in the USA so please keep
that in mind with any delays in response.

Thanks
