Complete speculation, or using said speculation to attempt to argue objective evidence away, really isn't helpful. Taking that approach, anyone could claim that a stoner admin could have acted as one would expect an admin who is stoned to have acted, it's just slinging mud.
If reddit proved anything, it's that waiting won't force a response if the admin team just wants it to go away. I'm not waiting, and I suspect we will hear little more about this until the next time the base cause of it brings about other issues.
