Are you implying that there are no stakes here unless you get sued? I think both MWP and all the writers that work for them might think that there are already stakes in play. This isn't just about you and your reputation. You've made a serious attack on a company and need to back it up.
You can't claim to be too high-minded to reveal your sources with one breath, then claim that you will drag them all into court to protect you if you might suffer consequences.
While I'm here, I was curious about the predatory practices of some companies you were talking about in the article. I wasn't aware hostile take-overs were a big thing in the RPG world.
