If it were about the ATGs empathy, it would slip through here and there. Something like Querty and Navukh regularly grumbling about "unbanning Vitalik." However, it doesn't.

Some people couldn't calm down for a long time; we won't point fingers.

The problem is that it's not about the ATG (which is essentially this FB).

It is about the ATG; he got very upset after this decision and practically left the HW. After that, with the efforts of several sympathetic people, discussions began about the decline of the AK's authority.

. That is, an organization that is supposed to resolve conflicts by restoring justice and conveying this fact to the masses, instead, threw fuel on the fire and then philosophically contemplated the agitated anthill instead of trying to fix the situation.

A judge's decision on a football field, for example, does not always evoke an unambiguous reaction, but he is not obliged to stoop to squabbles with every dissenter (which, I repeat for the umpteenth time, are few compared to the rest).

Yes, maybe it wasn't out of malice, but out of ignorance. But that doesn't change the fact. Voluntary recusal is the right decision here, which is what we are seeing.

I think it wasn't out of malice, but after a long and careful consideration of the facts. Recusal, as was clearly written, is due to a lack of time, and there is no need to invent other motives out of thin air.
