The recent treatment of Monica Cellio by Stack Overflow has been atrocious. Monica has over many years been an exemplary member - and moderator - of many StackExchange communities, and the actions by Stack Overflow have been nothing short of reprehensible.

I join the call to reinstate Monica, and for Stack Overflow to apologize. A sincere and humble apology, in particular, has been overdue for weeks already.

Stack Overflow: you have messed up badly. Do whatever is possible to at least attempt to fix this.
