@Ted Clayton - Hard time understanding what you are actually writing about. But I've made an attempt to comment the interpretation I thought were the most correct one.

The fact that this episode did get an open free-for-all airing, on this & other high-profile WordPress venues, is a good reflection on WP.
Open free for all bullshit festival is a good reflection of WP? So you mean this episode showed the true nature of the WP community?
If we simplify. The ones "behind" KJG were reasonable and rational, the rest for the most part did ad hominens, straw mens and were plain irrational fanboys. The reaction was extreme for a non-event. People were shitting their pants for no reason at all.

The fact that we are now visiting the debris-field for a little second-guessing, is encouraging.
Who is revisiting it? Not Jeff, not the guys over at WPCandy, not Matt, not Jane not anyone of importance really. This episode will just be forgotten just like all previous episodes and escapades of the WP community and the leadership.

There is nothing unusual or novel, in finding that strong individuals with good leadership assets, can bang off & over the rails, at times. It’s more a question of whether they can recover, get it shiny side up, and moving down the road again.
What has this got do with anything at all? Are you putting blame on KJG? Those who should be ashamed are the ones that mistreated KJG. Then comes those who has power to change the atmosphere but refuses to do that. Matt, Jane and the rest. Except Mark Jaquith he at least vocalized his condemnation.
