    I mean the Madison stuff is pretty bad. The rest of it, was probably recoverable from.

    I think the thing is in these kind of situations they are typically no win situations. When the fuel is burning really the only answer is let it burn itself out, then deal with the aftermath. I don’t think any response would be good enough because right now people are out for blood, some of it very justifiably but people would need to be blind to not see there are people who have an axe to grind and the usual drama chasers. I’m not here to say they didn’t do anything wrong but people are going to try to connect some unrelated controversies to keep the fire burning (Note: This isn’t about the Madison leak) like the mindchop tragedy.

      That’s when you hire a crisis PR firm because no operating company should have enough experience to handle the situation properly. If the new CEO knows anything they’ve already done that and muzzled Linus.
