David offered Scott an opportunity to comment, and Scott turned it down. You can see that David also offered Julia an opportunity to comment on a short quote included in the blog post, and he ran the four-paragraph statement she provided which included context for the quoted material. Moreover, the leaked e-mail is not new, and Scott has had both the time and the platform to contextualize it if he wished to do so.
If Scott has made public statements clearly inconsistent with the e-mail that David missed, then it would be much more helpful to show the receipts rather than vaguely assert that he has “actively pushed back against a lot of discussion around HBD on his blog and related spaces.” Even accepting that assertion at face value, a history of pushing back against some unspecified elements of HBD discussion isn’t inconsistent with the views expressed in the e-mail or otherwise discussed in David’s post.
