Honestly, I'm not interested in providing details. The parties involved have already kissed and made up (for the most part), and it serves nothing for me to prove myself on HN. Suffice to say, I took, and still take, the position that we each have a finite amount of political capital and goodwill that we can spend, and that it is more advantageous for everyone to spend it on building instead of destroying. There will always be differences of opinion on what is building vs. destroying, though, and there will always be room for poor communication to confuse the matter for all parties involved. Especially in the tech community, as I'm sure you can imagine :)
