I think that's the core of it.  It is *possibly* of interest to the community,
it's not of interest to me.  Hiding it seems to take sides and we get
another round of bash the IMC for censorship.

Is it worth it?  I think the answer to that question is in the question, not
stated above, is this libelous.  I say it isn't because he presents enough
information for people to judge (to some extent) the validity of his
complaint by posting the relevent quotes.  Though if it starts to get ugly
as it easily could then I think it would be worth dumping.
