It sounds like you would've preferred that they don't post anything at all. Even if the post was edited to how you're describing, people would say, "Well they should be more progressive than that!"

Personally, I think it was great that they articulated why they do what they have to do, and the measures they're taking to improve.

Although I agree with the statement about:

> "We want to avoid taking editorial or moral stances regarding the businesses built on Stripe."

The entire post, and John, basically indicated that they do want to take a more progressive moral stance. Their stance being that they want to fight for servicing certain businesses on Stripe.

Yes, we're going to remove the first sentence from the post -- you're right that it's, strictly speaking, inaccurate in the sense that we do want to take a stance in favor of certain kinds of businesses.
