Yes, but what is there to understand? A bot erased the hard work of people. That is the point.

Sure there may be more fine detail to understand around the guidelines etc, but first you should acknowledge that (A) your bot fucked up big time, (B) everybody would be pissed if years of work would be overwritten in such disrespectful manner and (C) that this isn't how you want to treat your community.

If you don't manage that this person made the right call when they decided to leave.
