First things first:
We're all acting in our own interests, there is NO moral high ground on either side!
Public shaming is horrible, if this is being done then I will immediately quit the protest and ignore everyone elses interest.
So to everyone, stop shaming right now! RD (or anyone) has every right to follow his own interests.

Personally, I think and -I have also told this to him-that he hasnt made that big of a mistake, just if someone is going to take part in a protest like this it has to be a 100% fully commitment, because in case someone changes his mind and other players see him/her playing then its bad for the communtiy and the protest itself and one might think: " If he is allowed to play during protest, why am I not allowed to play"?
A valid point, but I disagree.
1.) There will be quitters. The sooner you accept that, the easier it will be for you to fully commit to the protest yourself.
2.) Does it mean that if someone else quits, I'm "allowed" to quit?
It's not about being allowed, you can do whatever you want. The only question is are you strong enough to commit or not? If you quit because a handful of people quit, what does that say about your commitment? The protest has just started and is in full going, so after less than a week I don't see a reason to use this as an excuse.
3.) Instead of quitting, inform more people about this protest. Give them clear-cut reasons for joining us and helping our interests. The protest works best if we continue to increase in numbers, even moreso since we know there will be quitters.
