Honestly, that doesn't really look too bad to me. Meghan told us how it went down from her point of view.

Its refreshing to see a response that doesn't contain loads of obfuscated spin.

You're right, it is refreshing to see someone flat out lie about company business in public on a personal blog. You don't get to see that every day :)

Why do you assume that she is lying?

Because the new story given by the owners of the domain in question have a completely different story to hers.

Honestly, I find her reply to be pretty rude.

That doesn't necessarily mean that she is lying, it could very well be that someone else is lying, (I thought PR was all about lying to people?).

It could also be that no one is lying and the story simply was misremembered or garbled in transmission to respective PR departments.

If you are already being rude, why bother lying to cover your ass?
