Maybe you can give some back story, or point to where it's summarized fairly well? (maybe it was even on HN and I missed it?) All I see here are a list of what SO did wrong, but only from one side, and not why they felt the need to do so (even if only explained post-facto). As a member of the HN community, I think it only makes sense to attempt to get as much information as possible, lest this turn into and angry internet mob situation that no longer cares about details and facts. We have enough of those already.
