He decided (and I respect him for this) to be transparent about what I think is a bad decision. I believe he is open to questions regarding whether FastMail might be willing to take specific actions to ameliorate the impact. Bron is a representative of FastMail, but you should not automatically assume everyone at FastMail approves of the decision. If Bron disapproves, he cannot say so (unless he wants to resign first which would be a disaster for all of us IMHO). If he agrees with the decision, an argument with people in this thread who (with some justification) have reacted emotionally to the situation would be counterproductive. Bron did not start the thread in order to start a flame war.

I can be wrong, but my reading is that Bron is sympathetic, and willing to help where he as an individual constructively can. However, his ability to help is limited.
