Just received this about the @verybadwizards podcast:

It is quite damning to say they are fair to say our motivations are bad: that we gleefully attacked *people*, are smug and acting in bad faith. Its not like they said we mean well but they disagree. If that really were the kind of people we are, I'd want nothing to do with us.
