I did read it, and I found it unfortunate. The reason to remove
GamerGate was because of spam(!).

And the wording did not help that much either:

"The worst thing is that there seems to be systematic harassment of

something that we absolutely condone."

They absolute "condone" harassment? I think the right word was
"condemn". But not clarification either.
