Is that an apology? It reads more like "I am sorry that you are angry, but we did nothing wrong so suck it lololol" I don't know if the SO mod (Cellio) is in the wrong, but they did not give any explanation why Cellio was removed. I am unconvinced by this update.

If a corporation ever admits doing something wrong, it's admissible evidence in a lawsuit against them. That's why corporations never admit any wrongdoing regardless of how obvious it is that they did. (And before anyone post the usual "corporations suck" rant, the exact same principle applies to individuals. Anybody who ever watched James Duane's "Never talk to the police" video knows why. Why would it be any different for a corporation?)

  100% this Even empathy usually results in admitting a liability inducing stance You have to just do and let everyone else wonder why There’s no upside into explaining anything If it ever reaches discovery and testimony in a court of law, then maybe you’ll get detailed perspectives closer to the truth. Somewhere along the way users and consumers started imagining this stuff is actually collaborative. Its not.

  That is an odd statement. Corporations admit wrongdoing or mistakes all the time and not to mention there could never be any lawsuit from something like this. It is just that they introduced a rule and still feel it is a correct one.

    Them introducing (in the future) a rule (which we don't know the details of as of yet) is more or less orthogonal to claiming that Monica violated the current CoC.

  There's truth to this. I tend to roll my eyes when people say: "I can't believe they won't take responsibility". It appeals to our personal morals, but not the world we live in. Nobody's willing to fall on their sword.

Right, which is the kind of response I'd expect from a site like stack exchange.
