Usually in that case there is no disagreement that it should be backed 
out.  Also, there is a clear cut gatekeeper & tech lead in charge to 
make the call.

In this case, there is disagreement - and to compound the problem, there 
is no clear cut 'leader' in charge.  There are leaders of the Website 
project, and acting for core contributors of the Advocacy community, 
Derek made the changes.

While I also personally believe the content should be taken down, I also 
understand and respect Derek and the website team being caught in the 
middle of a conflict that should be resolved.

cheers,
steve
