This apparent miscommunication emphasizes the importance of not deleting (and not substantially editing) posts once they've garnered attention.

I, for one, hope the author feels no remorse for their article. It was a fun and interesting article, and they reported the story well.

I continue to hold the belief that if this incident creates a material problem for RG, then RG was already a ticking time bomb. That said, I have plenty of faith that RG will weather the storm, and that perhaps this will be a wake-up call that inspires them to do something more creative and valuable than a spammy link-swap.
