This is imo like the roses offered after the black eye.
How many times have we seen this this behavior tolerated? Then he caves a bit, and those involved get all excited, egos inflated briefly, (he's good at that)....then the next time happens.
It's an old pattern. Seriously. It's the cycle of abuse at an MD/PhD level.
It took a threat to his livihood before he backed down at all. It wasn't empathy, or a moment of clarity.
