It's probably aimed more at reminding GitHub employees of the possible legal ramifications of publicly supporting the allegations and dampening further discussion in general.
I don't see how that's less dramatic though, especially since the meaning of that statement is pretty obvious.
Whether you interpret it as normal, like you do, or inappropriate and/or sad, like I would, is a different matter.
- tptacek 13y agoYes, definitely, the most boring conclusion is that it's a calculated plot to suppress the opinions of Github employees.
- mtrimpe 13y agoFor that one line, which other explanation do you have that better fits Occam's razor? I would have a lot of trouble finding any other interpretation than him attempting to stop certain people from saying certain things and thus suppressing the discussion, whether successfully or not.
