First, talk to Wil about the choice that he made and who else was involved
and why it was done.  Reason with him and see what the result is.

Second, likely install a few more administrators who have the power to

Unsubscribing only hurts the unsubscriber and encourages the negative

Understanding.  That's the highest goal.  In sane people, understanding
always leads to tolerance and accomodation.
