I'm so sorry for what has been done to you, and I'm outraged at SO's behaviour, especially the pig-headed behaviour of some of the SO staff.
I used to have huge respect for Sarah Chipps, but over the last few weeks she has displayed her true colours. For someone who has been held up as an exemplar of progressive values, I find it astonishing how ill equipped she is for such a role, and the attitude she displays. Her behaviour should have earned her a prompt ejection from SO for gross misconduct, but the fact that the company has doubled down on this debacle shows that the demons are within the walls, and there's nothing that can be done at this point.
I read an interesting unrelated post from one of the SO employees, which to paraphrase a little stated that the company now pretty much disregards any feedback from the meta community. They feel that all they get from meta is negativity, nobody wants to actually interact with the community, and casually dismiss feedback as too negative to be constructive.
I'd suggest that if they only tend to get negative feedback, that might be for a very good reason. It should be a huge red flag to the company, and a massive cause for concern. Alas, it seems that things are at a point of no return, and I worry that this marks the decline of the whole network.
I truly hope you manage to get justice, whether that take the form of re-instatement, an apology, or anything else that would satisfy you.
Please keep us updated, I've been following your progress daily, and have been keeping my fingers crossed for you.
