Can't they just 'pin' the CEO's post to the top?

This reeks of lack of imagination.

Given the way this discussion has gone so far, then people will trash the admins for "pushing content they want to the top of the page" or similar.

While I think the entire furore is completely misguided and utterly childish, I doubt that would've been the case. Besides, they have a blog.
