Agreed. Some of the decisions that Pao made were questionable. Maybe unethical at best. Her treatment of Dacvak (if true) was verging on appalling.
That's not why I left. I left because of what has become a thoroughly toxic community. Nothing that the Admins can do can get rid of that. I got fed up of seeing an orange-red and my default reaction being "Oh god, what have I done?".
At least with an orangered you know why you pissed off people, when you see your comment go from +10 to -30 in 30 minutes, without any reply, it's way worse.

I agree. The trolls and loud mouthed bullies basically took it over to a large part. I dreaded seeing the orange envelope as well and would wait till the day after it appeared to open it. For the most part, the pm's were ok,but I never knew if I'd be blown out of the water or not. Who needs that kind of abuse? I sure don't.

Yeah, I never noticed that, but it subtly went from "Oh boy! An Orangered!" To "Aw shit, who'd I piss off"
