Let us consider DJ to be a venomous snake, for metaphorical purposes, and he contains a poison that is deadly to the GGA. The obvious move would be to placate the snake rather than cornering it, which is what the GGA is doing. Cornering the snake only increases the possibility that the snake will bite (release the logs) and hurt GGA.
Now let us consider DJ to be a simple grass snake. The GGA now looks silly for panicking over such harmless events.
I fail to see how this could possibly have been regarded as a good move.
