"Figurehead" doesn't exactly apply in this case given her role specifically entailed the orchestration, coordination, and authorization of unconscionable (at worst) and morally repugnant (at best) acts.
I would really like Guido to quit dropbox. I can't imagine meeting the person responsible for numerous atrocities near the cooler and having a small talk about the weather, then returning to my workplace to continue business as usual.
edit: Guido is BDFL, it is expected of him to uphold professional and ethical standarts of the community, so this is directly related.
These witch hunts hurt a lot of people, much more than the single figurehead that everyone get all up in arms over.
