This is coming a few days after this post [1] where they "settled" the whole Monica Cellio drama. ANd by "settled" I mean upset the community even further.
All of this is coming a few months after the whole drama started [2] which resulted in the leaving of many prominent members of the Stack Exchange community across many of the SE sites.
Context on HN has been [3] and [4] when this was on the front page a few months ago, including a link submission to [5] which was an open letter to the Stack Exchange company.
After a few months of drama it's interesting to go back and look at [2] and see that some of the mods have returned and the thread has been updated to reflect that. (How up-to-date these changes are I don't know)
If I've missed anything in this recap or made a mistake please let me know.

In light of all the recent turmoil, they were among the very few SO employees that anyone still trusts, which is what makes their firing such a big deal and yet another indicator of the culture shift within the company.
