I generally don't read these kind of stories so I did not know the history, thank you for the link. I still think what he did here outweighs a unsavory twitter post about an individual. There could be a lot of dynamics to a single relationship, while not cool, the post very well could have been accurate, for all I know. What I do know though is bringing a bunch of developers back on so that they can get a deserved payout is a pretty honorable move in my book. It very well could be a PR stunt but it is a pretty costly one if that is the case, though not out of the realm of possibility, I cant see someone worrying that much about a bad twitter comment.
