I’m not really sure what we’re arguing at this point. My initial reply was about how collaborative Nonlinear had been, which I don’t think you’ve addressed and isn’t particularly related to whether Ben said true things. I’d also add that in my view Ben posting without getting Nonlinear’s side of the story was itself pretty uncollaborative, and so the “retaliation” against him (in the form of criticizing him for the way he wrote his post) to me seems entirely justified.
Thinking about this more, my guess is that by “uncollaborative” you were specifically referring to Nonlinear’s threat to file for libel against Ben. I agree you could call it that, but I don’t see it as disproportionate given the adversarial nature of Ben’s investigation and the massive cost it has had on Nonlinear. I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on this point.
