He “took umbrage” after he publicly called out Selig for threatening Reddit, a thing that did not happen, and is immediately made obvious by the Reddit rep apologizing for the misunderstanding repeatedly.
Framing this as “Huffman was mad about Selig releasing a private discussion” is extremely misleading, and ignores the fact that Selig was basically forced to do so by Huffman’s public misrepresentation of that private conversation.
If Huffman doesn’t want a private conversation released, a good start would be avoiding misleading public statements about that private conversation.
> In fairness, Huffman's statement makes sense in isolation
You can make just about anything make sense in isolation, but this doesn’t mean that it makes sense in the real world.
Removing context is as good as lying in many situations, and this is one of those situations.
