So Malka did everything wrong he could, in the worst possible way. He didn't reflect at all, and is doubling down on his authoritarian ways. Despite him being the absolute ruler of his website, he isn't responsible for the culture he created. It was his underlings! It was a conspiracy against him! He is blameless and flawless. No introspection, no apology, no change of his methods, no fresh start. It's not surprising, his ego won't allow it. For over a decade he surrounded himself with yes-men and no one ever spoke out against anything he did, out of fear of being banned. Any criticism was immediately silenced, and he was always right. That's how he spent his formative years. He never developed any social skills. He's a narcissist. Him suddenly coming to his senses and seeing the error of his ways would have been completely out of character.
His current situation very much reminds me of an ex-dictator. Like Mussolini after being deposed by his own Grand Council of Fascism.
I'm surprised by the speed of the fall of NeoGAF, but I suppose I shouldn't be. A sudden explosion releasing all that was repressed for years makes a lot of sense.
