I don't understand what you are saying here. How do you suggest that people should act going forward? I never said SE deserves survival. All I said is that we need to stop hoping that they will suddenly start acting decently again.

@terdon Sorry, after re-reading I realized it's not clear what I react to. I hope it's clearer now.

Not really :) What course of action are you suggesting? I can only see two: stop using these sites or continue. And if someone chooses to continue, they must do so knowing that SE is now an enemy and not a friend, so there's no point in asking them for things. Do you see a third way?

@terdon Well, I say that the time to leave is now. I say that "rules we refuse to follow" is a non-sense thing altogether, as no rules exist anymore. So if you refuse to follow "no rules" rules, you should leave.

Oh, absolutely. I never argued that anyone should stay. I was addressing this to those people who choose to stay. All I'm saying is that if someone chooses to stay, then they should accept that SE is no longer a friend. That if you choose to stay, you need to ignore SE and not expect any help from them. That said, I admit I am tired of people posting to argue against posting. I completely understand wanting to leave, but people who want to leave should just leave instead of talking about it.

She didn't break any rules. Her questions were misinterpreted as rhetorical questions. The misinterpretation was influenced by other actors on the network, with their own agendas (independent of Stack Exchange's agenda).
