I don’t follow your interpretation about the implications here. This is feeling like an extraordinarily tedious and silly Twitter argument.

Ask/inform seems a pretty attainable bar without much downside.
-
One downside might be that the worst-behaved editors might be the least likely to give permission to be quoted.
-
You read what I said, right? I never said "obtain permission".
-
Sorry, I thought "ask permission" would then entail respecting a denial. So, if the journal editor says "no," it would be cool to publish or quote from the letter anyway?
-
-
But to be clear, yes, if they say "no" that means a new conversation. I haven't covered that. And I don't know if a general statement if they say "no" is possible. Case by case.
-
In this specific case, the editor very clearly stated he would have said "yes".
-
To be clear, my experiences with those who want to screw you over DO NOT want to have a conversation. They want to ignore you. Hence why I focused on an editor ignoring you.

Yeah I don’t know why it’s so hard to get permission. I for one have never been so offended that I wanted to share an action letter tho. Not sure I ever would.
-
I mean not even get, right? At least inform the editor. If they said OK, good. If they say "don't"... well... At least you told them.
