I'm confused... what did Allan say that is being misconstrued?
Just that my discussing the situation in any capacity may lend a degree of authenticity beyond what Greg Ellis said.
I was explicitly asked for more information in the Twitter thread, and I mentioned that I cannot confirm nor deny the position presented, and this actually extends even to Greg's tweets. In retrospect, responding to his tweet was likely silly of me, but the reaction was mostly fun and positive and hey I like fun and positive and get carried away with it too.
Despite my "omnomnomnom" of fan tears, I actually DO prefer fan squees. They are just more challenging for me to create.
