Are we not allowed to make mistakes, apologize, and learn from them without having to be publically fired and shamed?
Excommunication is not an effective tool.

Depends what kind of mistake. There are certain mistakes we don't allow people to apologize for and learn from. Murder, sexual abuse, conspiracy, racist hate directed at young adults from a power authority.
These are all examples of things our society currently considers abhorrent.
Bill Peters didn't simply make a simple mistake. He used hateful speech directed at a young man who's livelihood he held in his hand. It was abusive, racist, personally I found his comment homophobic as well.
So no, there are certain mistakes you can't just apologize for and move on. This is one of those things. Not sure why you can't see that.
