his first one was just a generic, "i'm sorry if i offended anyone" after he publicized a conspiracy theory about naomi.
then it was revealed that andrew huang (who worked a lot on reverse engineering the original xbox), was asked in private by dale if naomi was real, and andrew vouched for her. yet he chose to go with the conspiracy theory story instead.
this is a, "i better do this or my ass will be fired" deal. the original story was never posted on hackernews (that i recall) but if she didn't continue to fight for her reputation this dale would have just let this blow over.
