It is not made clear where the Wikipedia quote ends and where the letter from Rabbi Moshe Shamah begins, but the line appears to be just before “No rabbi considers,” as it is difficult to imagine a Wikipedia article with “a matter I made clear to Mr. Chafets when we spoke” as part of its descriptive text.
(Assuming Popa hasn’t been involved, of course:)

I once dated a convert whose mother was not Jewish and father was an OTD Syrian. His father’s family rejected him, so much so that when he was born, his grandfather said to his father, “What a shame that we can only love half this child.” (When he grew up and became a frum Jew, their attitude didn’t change.)
So: The child wasn’t Jewish. The grandfather was on speaking terms with the OTD father, but, along with his family, rejected the grandchild from birth, though not so much that he couldn’t “love half of him,” presumably the half from his father, not recognizing the relationship between his son and his non-Jewish wife (I’m just assuming they were married). Then the child grew up and converted to Judaism, but the father’s family’s feelings about him remained the same.
Really ? How much of that can I be expected to believe?
