You just suggested using Kalphiter to gage an opinion on Ephi's actions. Thats why I stopped reading there.

Well he's somewhat got a point.
The article is fine as is, but it would be even better if you managed to get interviews from Kalphiter, Ephialtes, some RBL users... Just to put it in perspective.
Again, I understand that you have limited time/resources - obviously, you can always improve an article. I'm just saying that what he's asking for is a logical demand; it's always good to get all sides of the story.
I'm awaiting the conclusion to the article with excitement. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

I could also have written from Ephi's perspective, or just posted raw messages. But I did it the way I saw fit.

No he doesn't, and yes he can.
However, it would not be wise to do so.
The #1 principle behind successful game design by most good designers is to get feedback and iterate.
This carries over to most products aimed towards interacting with a general audience.
