You can't reason people out of being upset and wanting to talk or vent about it.
But not on an RfC. RfCs are for fixing problems with editor behaviour. This editor has left the building, what problem can we fix?
One could generalize the problems to include "...and community reaction".
I don't really personally care what form it takes (as I said, I'd personally like it to go away, too, it's unseemly), but realistically it's representing upset feelings and as such there should be someplace for it to happen.
What's ended up happening is, perhaps both typically and tragically, Wikipedia standard controversy reaction - it's up, it's down, it's back up, it's moved, it's moved again, it's speedy deleted then restored then deleted and up for DR and sideways with sugar on top and can I please have a little more, sir?
I begin to wonder just how badly we are our own worst enemies...
