After Robin Whittle wrote this piece, Behringer's president Uli Behringer decided to publicly air his entire private email exchange with Robin in order to tell "their" side of the story.

I believe this was done to show they offered Robin some (abet paltry) compensation of $15k, but publishing their entire private correspondence seems like more of a bullying tactic than anything else. Behringer has very little to lose here and they know it, but the conduct is unbecoming.

Should we allow large hardware manufacturers to bully and push around small businesses and DIY hardware hackers like this?
