Thank you for those kind words. I may have stood up first, but I was quickly joined by a lot of good people and I will be forever grateful for their contributions.
You started a preference cascade. A lot of people felt as you did, but no one wanted to be the first to say something. You took that first, very important, step. There is no way to tell if you hadn't whether or not someone else would have. Had they not, then there is a good chance that the ban would have advanced.
You deserve the accolades you are receiving.
