Yeah, since my initial comments on this I understand less despite reading more. I didn't actually know that Dries originally said it had to do with his philosophy; it had already been edited to be more vague at that point. That's why I started with a "well, he did something" attitude.
But the other thing to keep in mind, re:
> It looks like it's designed to be defeated by Larry and give Larry a way to retaliate
Remember that Larry was the first one to go public, so he's the one who got to establish the narrative, not Dries. Larry decided to make this about what he does in the bedroom, and that's now what everyone on the Internet is talking about. Dries, for whatever reason, isn't saying what "the real reason is", so he's left with no alternative but to respond to Larry's claims on Larry's terms.
Dries really ought to just spill everything at this point, "liability" be damned. The project has already been hurt because the assumption now is that it's run by bigots. If it's actually run by bigots and bigotry was the reason Larry got canned, it's not like admitting that is going to hurt them much worse.
