Though my preferred outcome would be you taking the post down without much of a fuss, I understand this is a pretty self-serving preference. I did like the compromise idea of making the post available only to members, but that does not appear to be an existing feature of the site.
Taking it down helps remedy a failure of my own rather than yours, as we clearly should have been more explicit about this.
You posting them initially is perfectly understandable. Though I disagreed with your desire to keep them up after I requested them down, I understand this is a matter of opinion.
“Defection” is a pretty loaded word and I should not have used it.
In general, I think it is really great when people provide public goods like book reviews or highlights (I also think it is really rewarding and I have never regretted doing such things myself), so to the extent this has discouraged you from this path, I would like to point out that this is obviously a weird “scissor case” and similar efforts in the future will certainly be well received.
The moderators were also discussing that it would have been nice to make the post only accessible to registered users, or users above a certain karma threshold, but yeah, it’s not a feature that exists, and given the urgency of the question (given that there was a substantial amount of externally linked traffic coming in), it didn’t seem like a good idea to wait until we built the feature.
