I can't say I regret my decision.
Theymos doesn't kneel, he doesn't sacrifice and is willing to stand up for what HE believes to be true, rather than some external authority. I hold r/Bitcoin would be coddled into a cult of personality worshipping Gavin Andresen without I purposely picking Theymos for the role he has.
Would I do exactly what Theymos is doing if I was still addicted to Bitcoin and moderating that hellhole? Nope but I endorse his self-esteem and I endorse the idea of 90% of r/Bitcoin leaving its subreddit and creating new realms of thought.
This is I taking responsibility for what I can take responsibility for: Enabling Theymos to be doing what he is currently doing. No, if I did it over again I would not have gave the subreddit to a developer zealot. I would probably give it to Theymos every time because I do not know a more committed person that has a truly spiritual interest in the community.
Again, would I do exactly what he is doing? Nope but it is his now and I accept such in great pride. Keep on showing this community who it is through this catalyst.
