If I were the author, I wouldn't write about what transpired. There is nothing to gain by taking it publicly and now there is an easy to locate record of your mistake for future event organisers and employers. Should just let it rest. I disagree. I don't think he should take it any further but publishing a record (especially one as well written as this) is wise. Gaslighting is common in communities like this, and by having his story out in the open, it makes it harder for any false versions of the story to stick (assuming his account is accurate, of course). Further, social standards may (nay, will) change and what he did may be seen in a different light a few years down the road, and having his written account will be useful so that his actions can instead be judged via the ethics of the future.
