> So spez acknowledged in the call that it wasn't a threat

its regular bs sugar coating, like you know someone is cheating, and he knows he is cheating but doesn't admit, but you don't have proof and you say "oh it was miscommunication" for the sake of continuing cooperation.

Why do you think this is the case? The audio by the Apollo dev doesn't support this, and spez has not published anything that would prove there was a threat. The audio doesn't sound like what you're describing, it sounds like what the Apollo dev is describing.

> The audio by the Apollo dev doesn't support this

looks like we are in disagreement about this part.

[Timon3]

I'll quote directly from the audio (https://christianselig.com/apollo-end/reddit-third-call-may-... starting around 2:18):

> Apollo dev: How did you take that, sorry? Could you elaborate?

> spez: Oh, like, cause you were like "hey, if you want this, if you want this to go away, like [unintelligeble]..."

> Apollo dev: Oh, I said if you want Apollo to go quiet, like I would say it's quite loud in terms of its API use..."

> spez: Oh, okay, got it. Got it, sorry. That's a complete misinterpretation on my part. I apologize immediately [...]

Would you expect spez to still consider it a threat given both the literal content of what he says, and the tone it was said in? I see no way your interpretation makes sense.

[riku_iki]

I read this very carefully several times, and there is context which you decided not to quote, what is your point?

Update on your updated comment: > and the tone it was said in? I see no way your interpretation makes sense.

Looks like we are again in disagreement about this.

[Timon3]

Could you explicitly state the context you believe I decided not to quote? Timestamps are enough.

[riku_iki]

context was "joke" about $10m to go quiet.
