redcalcium@lemmy.institute 6 months agoJust for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.
The author probably wasn’t aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to “correct” their post.

The author was aware. They made a post regarding it getting posted to hackernews stating “I specifically requested for this not to happen.”
This still makes the CEO seem like an unhinged fucking freak who does not respect personal boundaries, it literally makes him look no better, no matter how he came across it.

… Contacting someone makes you an: “unhinged fucking freak who does not respect personal boundaries”?
More people need to go touch grass, this is insane.

lol they asked that their public post wasn’t posted somewhere else on the internet?
Are they new here or something? The fuck?

Yes. How many times did she ask him to stop contacting her?
Yet he kept coming at her, all like, “Just debate me!”
No. Take a hint, dude!

If someone posts an angry rant about your company, and you email them to say “you’re wrong and I’m sorry you feel that way” that makes you an “unhinged … freak?” This is not the president sending the secret service to your college dorm room lol.

No, he started being an unhinged freak when it was a private email exchange.

Look, if it was a random kid on tiktok that’s one thing, but slinging slanderous information around (and publishing it, technically) is a serious matter with real-world consequences. If someone made a blog post about how you torture animals and have a horrible taste in music, you’d probably want to do something about.
