User45266, I can understand your frustration, but your post seems to be mostly, or entirely, a bit tangential. Could you tighten up your post, or take that material and find a better place to put it? Maybe you were interpreting my post to mean "The troubled state of affairs at SE could be resolved through dialogue between leadership and Monica Cellio." Sorry if that's the impression I gave! That's not what I was trying to say. I'm just proposing that a mediated dialogue take place. As Monica said, it would be a start.

Tangential? I think it's on the money. 40 moderators have stepped down; this is rather unprecedented, I think. Why are we still throwing out suggestions on how to fix this mess when the person who caused it seems woefully unaware of the turmoil she has caused and utterly incapable of giving an "update and apology" without pouring more gasoline on the fire? I had initially hoped that cooler heads would prevail and all this would blow over, but after reading Sara's most recent comments and hearing hardly a peep from the rest of SE leadership, I'm afraid I'm on the brink of being done here, too.

I smell dictatorship heavily in SE. Many companies start with visions to change the world, then become a money making machine for only a few shareholders. The U.S. needs to take much larger actions to stop pushing its companies become rotten. It's not accidental, once you loose the principles, and only focus on maximizing the revenue despite whether that collide with the original intention when start the company, you will rotten. Check this video as an example, which analyse how Google loose their faith in recent years: youtu.be/IlF4VC3Zgq4?t=17m20s (start from 17:20 if short of time)

@aparente001 I do think my above comment is relevant here, it's the root cause of these issues, so I have re-added it, but under the answer not the question.

There are several causes of outrage. The withholding of important information is one, but not the only one.

@EricWang: What, you only smell it now? The writing has been on the wall for a long time, and the practically postered it on the wall with the CoC.
