> Im not sure what I would do. But I do know that if I reacted similarly, by posting all of the private meetings and communications to the public web, where I knew a hornet's nest would be stirred up (his subreddit obviously), I can't expect much of a relationship with reddit to survive after the fact.
I mean, in his message he said as much. But at that point, r/spez was slandering him anyhow, so he knew he was out either way.
Might as well set the record straight first.

Something iOS and Android app creators, and Windows application developers have had to learn over the years.

The lesson hasn't been learned at all - most of us depend on systems we do not control, and show no solidarity when one of us is debased with an arbitrary and capricious decision.
