He could have done that with a lot more tact - informing publishers and employees. He's non-confrontational - ok. Hire someone that isn't. Moonshots carry a risk and it's not all his risk. It's the investors, the users, the employees as well.

It's sort of a basic human decency thing. It shouldn't be that hard to be a decent human being.
