This raised my eyebrow a little:

>At this point, I reach out to prawnsalad, a known person in the IRC space who has relationships with many people.

What Lee neglects to say here is that prawnsalad's work has been sponsored by Lee (via PIA) as far back as 2017.[0]

I have no reason to suggest that prawnsalad has acted improperly,[1] but he's not necessarily a disinterested party here.

[1] In fact I've worked with him in the past, and have met him many times in a social context IRL. I was involved with KiwiIRC until shortly before PIA sponsored his work.
