I saw enough complaints of this particular issue with this admin that I even was in the process of gathering them for an article when FA did the policy change. It went on back burner to see how things would change. The decision about the nazi pony art was perplexing. Having to see someone's signed membership card in the Society To Glorify Nazis was kind of absurd.
The word "mob" reads as disingenuuous about legit protest. The protest has frequently been at one particular admin, not the whole site or owner. The change of decision in this case happened when high profile voices started speaking up without bringing any pitchforks out. The excuse about change of decision may cite further comments from the user on FA, but everyone knows there was more going on.
Aside from an apparent double standard of being harsh on critics of nazis and soft on nazi art, I have to wonder if geography was involved (something sweden something north america).
