Wow. Just wow. Wow.
But first:
I'm with Blake. The rules are pretty clear on what/when a match is replayed. And I've refereed about as many matches as Blake. While the first call may have been bad, there wasn't / isn't an option to replay the match based on four teams requesting it. As we say "two wrongs don't make a right". And the referees rule is final.
Now to "immoral" and "hall mark of fascism".
You need to get a grip and dial this back. It's just robots. ROBOTS. Stuff like this happens in the real world on a semi-regular basis. This is a game, lives are not at stake. People make bad calls and things don't go your way, this may be the first time, isn't going to be the last. Top teams will take this and shake it off and come back next season. You've been here since 2011, so you are either a roboteer with lots of experience or a mentor. In either case set a positive example.
