You did your best for the community as you believed in it.
You stood behind PJ and GrokLaw until you saw behaviour which was over your line, then you acknowledged the change forthrightly and honestly.
I said we all draw our own lines. It's not even a case that our lines differ that much as to what our threshold of awareness is.
On SCOX GrokWars were in progress and I ignored them or in some cases defended GL/PJ where I felt it was just, but was only dimly aware that some people had issues, and in at least one case I acknowledged that it sounded unfair. But I considered it a minor pecadillo and generally wasn't paying attention.
It was only after I and many others whom I respect on SCOX were denigrated slanderously by PJ that I became aware something at GL was very, very wrong. IOW, I too didn't wake up until slammed with a cluestick with an iron core.
Your support of GL was honorable and just. You changed your position as you became aware of new facts and circumstances. Many, probably most people fail to make that leap when it is required. In my case I made that leap because I was "pushed out".
In your case you made that leap because of what you saw happening to others. We have a phrase for that: moral courage.
Thank you for that and all your many other contributions!
