You forgot the usual several days of silence while they circled the wagons. And sending shills to the forums to disrupt and divert the critics and complainers (bitchers and derailers, as one of the mods put it). And the summary and arbitrary bannings (x2000). The only surprise is that they haven't locked and deleted the critical threads yet--I guess they don't really have a pretext for doing so, since the tone has remained more or less civil.
