@Darren I also don't know why people are mad at Adam. It wasn't my intent for Adam to be portrayed as some kind of comic book villain, it's silly.
So that it is clear, it was me who made the decision. The issue was clear and stated in public, so I just took the only viable course of action to resolve the problem. I anticipated that people would click my profile, scroll back, see the immediately preceding conversation, and have context. In hindsight, I could have been more explicit about it.
