Having considered the matter, I think Glotmorf is looking at it from the 
perspective of

"You may not play a piece in a position where it would be immediately 
Captured." r1639 section D paragraph 8

(this would be the reason the baron cannot move back at I9 - Ian and 
myself would capture eir piece instantly)

however, this does not apply to Wonko's move because

"If, as a result of a stone being placed, there exists more than one 
Dragon with no liberties, then the player making the capturing move 
chooses in what order they are captured. If a capture creates Liberties 
for a Dragon that had none, then the Dragon with the newly-found Liberties 
is not captured." r1639 section D paragraph 9

(meaning that the baron can move here because he gets to chose which 
dragon gets captured first - his own or glotmorfs. Since capturing 
glotmorfs dragon creates a liberty for em eir dragon is not captured 
thereafter, which allows this to be a valid move)


The board state right now is therefore;
