I'll clarify, sue them as opposed to taking it to twitter and a pseudo-journalistic startup news site. I would think that it would be the last resort and some reasonable amount of effort be made before taking that option. Or conversely, name names, go all in. Put the bad actors on notice and let what happens happen. It's not libel if it's true. Just all the rumors, speculation, etc. doesn't seem good for any thing. Not everyone involved with GitHub is an a-hole, at least I hope not.. All things being equal, I have no idea what the timelines are, I have no idea what reasonable things were done or not, I have no idea who is on leave or not. Yet in this thread strangers are questioning the marriage decisions of other people... It's an ugly story and it brings out ugly in the community. Sue everyone involved and if you win, future companies will certainly be different. My off the cuff immediate take away? Be really careful with the ultra social folks, big blog or big twitter following and they might just blow up in your face in a very public way.
