The thing that bothers me about that is that Abe is involved in this side of things at all. He's a tech, and a good one, and he's good at communicating tech stuff.
What he's not, and shouldn't be, is a PR/ abuse guy, they must be screwed for staff if he's got roped into this; I know that D recused herself from the whole thing way before she left, so that might indicate some of the friction going on.
But yeah, that comment was just a quickk, venting aside, but it was bound to get blown up by certain elements. We have an attack of the screechy monkeys now, half of fandom is pissed by 'censorship', which is such a non-issue.
OTOH, it's started the ball rolling; I know of at least 4 WP installs set up over the weekend as a result.
