Based on how you wrote your comment, it seems that the email you received may have come across as intimidating.
I think the important information here is how did Geoff / Leverage Research handle similar criticism in the past. (I have no idea. I assume both you and Ryan probably know more about this.) As they say, past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. The wording of the e-mail is not so important.
I previously have not been as aware that this is a pattern of how so many people have experienced responses to criticism from Geoff and Leverage in the past.
