This comment seems entirely unrelated to what it is responging to...

You seem to be accusing the person you are responding to of being Brewdog? Or were you trying to say Brewdog uses defamation to silence criticism of their marketing tactics? Or are you trying to promote Brewdog by publicising their deliberate controversies? I just can't figure it out.

There is no such implication on both counts. I am flabbergasted by how you have arrived at your conclusion.

I was not drawing want conclusions. I was struggling to understand your comment and those were the only three plausible (and mutually exclusive) interpretations i could come up with.

I presume you had a point you were trying to make, but i could not figure out what it was from your comment as written.

I suspect the option of the three options you listed which wasn’t one of the two they rejected as flabbergasting, was the right one.

I.e. they were suggesting that brewdog, uh, deliberately invites criticism, and then uses that criticism to their advantage by using defamation law.
