Two points I wish to bring up. The first is that there are some parts of these logs that make incredibly obvious certain participants - more so for one in particular, though I'm not name dropping. Perhaps certain parts should have been redacted harder to avoid this, because even with names censored, these logs literally do tell you who they are. Still, this is probably a better way forward than name dropping because you think everyone already knows their names at this point, which is a relief to see.

The second point is not directed at the main post. Moreso... I don't think it contributes to the conversation to come back and say "I told you so". Sure, things may have been said that were similar to this post, now, but that's not at all constructive, and in the end, in spite of public opinion, the GMs gave a lot of leeway that wouldn't have came if they'd bowed to public pressure. The community, for what it's worth, is at the very least self aware about this, even if not much changes for it. It's generally in the nature of this community to talk shit or vent privately, whatever we all call it. It's when that breaks through and becomes public action rather than a chance to calm that it becomes a serious issue.

Things are a little different here. Community backlash isn't the source of that verdict. It's also not the source of what happened back there. Maybe it could have aggravated things, but what happened back there would have happened IC regardless - this post about community behaviour should not call that into question.
