Funny how @Gargron was so concerned about popular opinion and "optics" when he delisted us... Now the thread on reddit discussing this is already more popular than any other thread this month and will likely hit an all time high.

Shame about the bad optics...

The only problem with this, as with all things, is human nature. Like people in all positions of power, they will not admit when wrong. This is especially true in a situation like this. He caved to the few, based off of lies. To reverse that mistake would be admitting he is wrong and would open other decisions made in the past and future up to more scrutiny. In his mind, consciously or subconsciously, it would be better to ignore this. With this mentality its always easy to take action on an issue, but reversing the action nearly never happens.

Politicians, CEOs, and other people in power will make decisions to fix a problem, real or not, but when is the last time you have ever seen a person in this type of position REVERSE a decision. Almost never. I say almost because there might be an occasion I don't know about, but I can't think of any.

Reversing his action won't happen, because its an admission he made the wrong choice, and that takes courage.

As always, my opinion doesn't mean shit, and I hope I'm wrong.
