There's absolutely no comparison between Sam, or any other Cabinet member, and Milograd and to make that comparison is misleading and dishonest.
No one has said that the Cabinet did not exceed their legal powers, or has argued that doing so was the right course of action. What we have said, and continue to say, is that there were genuine reasons that led them to change forums - reasons that the region at large recognized as legitimate - and that they should not be judged upon an overly emotional overreaction to Faregeto refusing to recuse himself, and the compromised court ruling that produced. There was wrongdoing on both sides of this, and to focus merely on the cabinet is not only a dangerous mistake, but a complete repudiation of the agreement we all made to take part in an open and honest process of reform and reconciliation.
No one has been going after Glen and Kris for their roles in causing the crisis - I know people have been moaning about them somewhat on IRC and Discord, but no one is pushing the issue here on the forums or demanding they are removed as admins - or after Farengeto for triggering the damn thing by refusing to recuse himself, and issuing a hurried and partisan ruling.
If people want that truce to hold, they've got to respect it.
