It claims that the original text was "misread", when most of us understood its hateful message just fine. The author is just trying to cover up his transgressions, and Obsidian is giving him a platform to do so.
The right thing to do would be to pull the text, pay the backer his money back, and make a very clear statement: "we do not want and we do not need customers like you".
Huh, when'd you become the final arbiter on all written word? Do you really believe that misinterpretation is something you've left behind? Please take the concrete reality of the situation and lodge it, like a wedge, right between both sides of my brain.
