Could you hold off on the calling me petty, snarky and passive-aggressive and just explain which part of my two sentence summary was "incorrect"? I don't know

I don't know exactly what you were alluding to with your claim that I wasn't saying what I really think, but I really was attempting to report what happened in the video and summarize it. Here is what my summary said:
1) It seems he pissed off his publisher
2) His agent recommended he find another publisher and pay back what the publisher forwarded him.
3) He doesn't think he'll be able to find another publisher or sell that many books
4) He took off his shirt and made a long video in which he continually chastises his agent
5) He rips up some of his money
6) He rants about how the industry is crumbling and will be destroyed by the internet
I really did believe all six of those things happened in the video. Which was I incorrect about, and what do you think I "really" believe but wouldn't write?

See, that's it. You could just say "My summary was accurate" if you thought so - but it wasn't. You're getting caught up in trivial details, and leaving the biggest parts out. And then you say, "Show me what's not true!!" Again, it's just not a good style. You could do better.
