I disagree with this idea. People's issues with Mike run way deeper than just the button, as there are many people who dislike the fact that he has MPD at all.

There is also the fact that there is a losing situation of taking his disorder seriously... if you look past Tumblr and the wiki, you'll see a lot of Mike fans out there. If you treat Mike's disorder as a real-world problem, then it detracts from what the people who like him (which are far more plentiful then you think) like about him. If you don't do something specifically in that manner then he will get the usual complaints. Even though I know we have different views on Mike, I know a line like the one you presented near the end just would seem so forced that it would do nothing for me at all. In fact, it would bother me more than anything.

People were mad about an unverified, obviously fake source saying that he is coming back in RR when there was nothing said about what would happen. That should give you an idea of the implications of bringing the guy back in any manner.

If they really want to apologize they should just write an apology post or something on the FreshTV blog. Bringing back an entire character to bring that point across is not a good idea. If Mike faded into obscurity then it wouldn't be worth complaining about him anyway, which at this point seems like the best idea.
