  It was a badass move because the CEO was asserting his power and right to say stop. That channel probably spiralled out of control and spawned social justice warriors and all kinds of "identity based" discussions which completely derail everything. A company does not necessarily have the capability to make everyone politically happy, and to not have feelings hurt or to keep people unoffended. It is a company with a value chain. I mean that a company discussion board is not the right arena. You don't want it to turn into a 4chan cesspool. Having a CEO to say enough and use his role to park the whole discussion and reframe. This is my view and not an absolute truth.
