    Especially after the Madison tweets, and Linus once again comes in with deflections and excuses excuses excuses.

          We reached out to Sebastian about these latest accusations, and he responded via email, saying:

          I was in a state of shock reading through these allegations, plain and simple. They aren’t consistent with my recollections. They aren’t consistent with our internal processes. They aren’t consistent with our company values.

          We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and inclusive environment. In addition to our existing report systems (both anonymous and otherwise) we’ve proactively reached out internally today to encourage members of our team to report any workplace bullying or harassment they might be experiencing so we can take quick and decisive action.

          Our HR team will be conducting a more thorough assessment of the allegations, and when we are ready, we will release a more complete statement. For now I would ask that we allow our team the time they need be as thorough as possible.

          Wasn’t Linus’s response to The Verge just the same thing they posted on Floatplane? Copying and pasting answers just like all great executives. u/spez for example

        Sorry, I worded that poorly.

        I was referring to Linus segment of the apology video.

        They won’t respond to this impulsively like with GNs video, they will have to thread very carefully around this issue.
