FWIW I don’t disagree with you, especially on the second paragraph. The direction of punching feels unavoidably lopsided.

But… Somerton and his fans had harassed and silenced others when called out for this type of behavior before. The only real difference here is that HBomb is big enough that isn’t feasible to whine and shout the criticism away. Plus all the evidence!

That's a great point too and does sway me a bit to feeling better about this all. Just feels like a huge bummer. But maybe it's a huge bummer that James needed to turn it around and be better.
