The context, is a spill-the-beans IAMA from a disgruntled ex-employee provocatively made on reddit itself. The CEO has a right-of-reply and a duty to protect the reputation of the company against accusations, and he fairly exercised that right. There was no slanging match, and the response consisted of a single post amongst hundreds in that thread. I don't see a problem with having both positions made public after the ex-employee initiated the public confrontation. As always The truth is probably going to lie somewhere in the middle.
