"Dear SE, I don't even know how to express how disappointed I am in you--literally. Because I don't know all the facts. But all the indications I've seen make me fear that the full facts would only make my current disappointment even greater."

Thereby:

- Injecting some smartass humour, but also

- Expressing how huge your current disappointment is, while

- Acknowledging we don't know all the facts yet, even though

- What we have heard so far is pretty damning indeed, and furthermore

- Stressing things look very bad and it would take a very surprising save on their part to fix things

Oh, and they should really show up and own up to this epic fail on their part. ASAP. At the very least. And it's absolutely not enough--just a start.
