IMHO, no one has the right to attempt to, nor in reality can they, shame anyone who votes their conscience. Attempts to do so reflect poorly only on those who attempts to dispense shame, not on those they attempt to shame.

It is obvious from the number of, and intensity of, the responses to Randy's action and the subsequent motion, that this is a subject which folks care about very deeply. It is even more obvious from the intensity of, and number of, responses since the conclusion of the vote, that neither Randy's action nor the motion have achieved final resolution for many folks.

Personally, I think it would all have gone down better with everyone if Randy had worked with TalkBoard to develop a more widely acceptable solution to the gaming issue, but, hey, it is his sandbox and he can play in it in the fashion that best pleases him.
