the community is indignant

I believe this is way too broad. If you have some basis for this I'd like to know. I have a different opinion after spending some time on the Russian board over the last few days. There is certainly some resentment about some of the recent actions targeting Russian members, which is why I believe it would make sense to reverse or counter-act them. That could get a reasonable conversation started.

We can't and won't get everyone to love us. They have their own Quicksellers. But we need to be reasonably consistent at the very least. Talking about DT inclusions/exclusions is not a crime over here and it shouldn't be a crime when it's done over there. Same with being misguided/misinformed/mistaken - there are many Russian users who'd be happy to learn but sadly we're paying attention to loudmouths for obvious reasons.

One core issue is that some users have decided to take the situation personally.

The negative ratings that have been given out as a part of the debacle (i.e. in relation to the Russian exclusion threads) in order to discourage the exclusions of DefaultTrust appear to have only accelerated the process. This is a negative spiral.

On the local end of things, the community is indignant. They seem to feel that the current system is pitted against them and further conclude this with the assortment of negative feedback being given out to some Russian users.
Constructive dialogue will bring forth enlightenment to both sides, which is why I extended an invitation thereof.

This thread is a continuation of my post here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49322618

I would like to have a healthy discussion on what we can do to de-escalate the conflict that shouldn't have existed in the first place. As I mentioned in the post linked above we can start by supporting the good guys in the Russian community. Any ideas of how to do that or other constructive suggestions are welcome.

Any personal disputes/insults as well as posts violating forum rules will be deleted at my discretion. Some users are not welcome here - you know who you are.
