αφορμη και όχι η αιτία
I do understand what you're saying completely, but it's just that I insist that IMSLP didn't find an opportunity to close with UE's letter. It was already hard for them to maintain the site, I know, and it became so hard to do so after UE's actions, that they preferred to close it down (well, actually, just the founder of the site closed it down). It's not that they've always wanted to close down the site because of the burden and they just found an opportunity there. They had already started processes to recruit many more people to review submissions, so as to make it easier for them and spread out the burden of the work.
I. Everyone is accusing UE because, although they are
not responsible (as both the IMSLP admins and UE state in their respective writings) for the closing down of IMSLP, they are the ones who caused it (don't misunderstand me: when I say "caused" I mean that, if UE hadn't taken any actions, IMSLP would still be running), and because of their attitude towards IMSLP, its members, and the open-source community in general. Comments such as "their behaviour and cynical writing is disgustingly untrue and biased" are all over the place (which are true), while I have yet to see comments such as "UE sucks because they are capitalists who want to take over the world" which are given any importance, at least within IMSLP's forums.
About the Thor guy, we can't control who joins the forums and who doesn't, that would violate the freedom of speech (unless that person violates any of the forum's rules). However, the swedish party thing is completely irrelevant, and someone completely irrelevant (who had nothing to do with IMSLP in its organisation) only mentioned it as a website which has gone against similar threats to UE's. Of course, this is another thing that UE misinterpreted in their article on the website, and they said that "someone from IMSLP even said something about organising a pirate party", which shows how fallacious and incorrect their comments/arguments are.
I had never thought that "I am becoming impatient" could ever mean "We love you guys. We miss you... We really really miss you! COME BACK!", and yeah, there are many people who truly want IMSLP back for good, and understand what has to be done in order for that to happen and can and DO wait patiently, and there are those who don't really understand any of the things we're discussing, and merely want IMSLP to get back so they can get their free scores.
