Yes, I suppose that it could be said as simply as "leaders lead", but your analysis is much more interesting.

Also, people with status in a community tend to like it that way. In turn this means that they don't see any glaring problems (at least glaring to the rest of the world), even people who emphatically are _not_ assholes, such as our esteemed editor. They tend to rationalize abuse, sometimes as in this case as being something uncommon and due to extraordinary circumstances. But again, this behavior should _not_ be acceptable, even once a month.
