Well, we both agree that high pressure tactics are not cool. Also encouraging startups to skip consulting with lawyers would be uncalled for. However on the second point, I can't see any mention of that. Do you have any evidence, or is this speculation?

In this specific case, I can see it going both ways.

So I guess where we perhaps differ, is that I would prefer to be certain of intent. Ideally, before reaching for the pitchforks to publicly shame someone.
