In any organizatio there needs to be a place to speak freely ("permission to speak freely, captain"). It sounds like the TL was supposed to be that place, and that except for something way over the top, everyone could have an honest, if rough discussion. Some places the lines have to be much farther out to not squelch honest disagreement.
If Sara libeled you in TL it would be bad enough. I only know about her public libeling and doubling down.
How much is it going to cost SE to hire even some foreign outsourcing company to keep things from being a sewer if they lose the key moderators, and even then, having someone kind, understanding, who will correct and build community is very different than a delete-bot, AI or human.
I think it is terrible but it is like SE is about to die, but would rather deny the situation rather than admit error. This is not Sara, but the entire SE corporation. Is there no one there that realizes the community is the product, not just the static answers and the system, and that the Moderators are the most important part - many will ask, many will answer, but few will keep things organized and clean - especially without pay.
