The bars are only the surface of it. Some people felt disrespected by aspects of the poll and of how the reset took place. I think the staff didn't realize (or didn't have the patience left) to deal with a backlash after the event. I see it as a tired parent finally appeasing one sibling, and then having no patience left for the other sibling who inevitably complains about it. I think that it would have blown over a bit quicker if some people were just allowed to vent and get it out of their system.
