Bancor's initial response isn't great:

since they mentioned FUD, it sounds like they're afraid Gun's post may affect trading of their token.

Yes, it works out quite nicely all round. They, by taking his ability to move the market so seriously, grant him social proof that can't be obtained any other way. He, very magnanimously, walks back his most serious attacks, to wit: their team are not credible, and the problem they want to address "is not a real problem". And anyone else who wants their token to pop* will know who they'd better have inside the tent.
* Bancor's token becomes tradeable shortly, see https://blog.bancor.network/token-activation-update-285ba819.... It would have been tradeable today, but they have some last minute debugging before their smart contract is ready to "automate Yellen", as Sirer puts it. It's hard to begrudge them this, having seen how Yellen performs in the unpatched 1.0 release.
