I cannot express how much I appreciate GN going after companies for consumer hostile practices. However

First, Long time subscriber and watcher of both. I was 100% on Steve's side in 2023 with the billet labs fiasco (If you really want to check go look at my comments and post at that time) but Steve's actions recently are hard to not see as petty. I've watched/read everything including GN's recent response today. I think Steve's inital pot stirring last week was very unproductive. Linus's response revealed a lot of things especially with respect to the Billet labs.

Here's my opinion on Steve's response today.

For Plagiarism receipt 1. I don't like him adding the EVGA screenshot where they seem to squash it right there in email and Steve seemingly saying he understands. Why bring up a problem that was seemingly resolved. If you still weren't happy with Linus then you should have told him there rather than haul this up years later.

The Data errors receipts 2 section seems to be Steve nipicking LTT for not deliding a cpu to Steve's standards. While Steve is correct this is such a niche nitpick that I find it hard care and side with Steve.

The editorial dispute 3. If these text messages are the worst dirt that Steve has on Linus then I don't think Steve's level of dislike is justified. Yes, that is definitely not professional on Linus's behalf. But I find it hard to be that offended by the texts (However at this point I might be biased because I didn't like GN's honey video. Plus Linus's response on Wan show regarding the billet labs stuff which started this all definitely affected my view of Steve). I will say if the autistic quote is real that is stupid that Linus tried to make a joke like that.

RRORS AND MISREPRESENTATION: Example #1 I do not understand GN's defense here and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm getting the jist that they say that Ian is incorrect and that they didn't reach out to those other companies listed. If I'm reading that correctly that does not take away from Ian's main point which is you always reach out first. GN is just nitpicking something that isn't even the topic that matters which is confusing to me.

Finally, why did Steve not properly address Linus's most recently listed grievances. Linus addressed most of Steve's points while Steve ignores nearly all of Linus's. Why is Steve picking unnecessary fights?
