In topic: "Gio is a normal guy"

@devin just wanna address another thing. Yes, while extending empathy to gio and seeing his side of things, it does suck that he was seemingly cut out of a project(we don't know the extent to how or why gio left the project so, speculating on that doesn't seem productive) and he would understandably be bitter about that, I think we should do a little thought experiment and extend that same empathy and perspective to Hussie. Hussie's writers felt unsafe and uncomfortable with gio's "reporting"(which is to say, exposing things about them in a gossip blog without any oversight from any actual journalists). They were affected financially, and emotionally in an extremely negative way from gio's actions, and these are people that not only worked for Hussie, but were his friends. I think that, much as you say Hussie is not starving gio of motive, Hussie clearly has their own motives for disliking and distrusting gio, and not wanting him involved with projects. Despite this, Hussie did try to repair burnt bridges with gio, and tried negotiating. After negotiations fell through, gio framed Hussie as an abuser, compared them to donald trump and nazis, and is now making baseless accusations of "scabbing". Gio is certainly not starving Hussie of motive, either.
