Not sure I've formed a permanent opinion on this issue, but I'll offer @millenial_falcon a "thank you" for efforts here. At least he took the position seriously. I didn't always agree, but some of the insults I've seen directed at him (?) certainly went over the line of basic decency.
Seems like deleting topic posts was the big issue. Should point out that re-posts of the same material were often left alone when standards-related content was edited/changed. Kinda puts the lie to the idea that millenial's moderation decisions were as biased as some have suggested.
I'd encourage those who were so excited to run him out of here to consider whether they have let "the perfect" become "the enemy of the good", and whether getting someone's head on a stick is an achievement by itself.
millenial_falcon, once everyone has had their say, I hope you'll offer a response to the other side. I would certainly read it.

For me it conjures up the image that you might not have been paying close attention because I flatly disagree.
You might be right, I read a lot of posts without making note of who posted it....But also noted at least 1 post on this thread from somebody who said they had posted topics that were deleted, cleaned them up, and then they were allowed.
M_F doesn't seem to be pitching a fit about it, so .... I could probably pay better attention to who's doing what.
