If Apple censored the discussion of this issue from their own forum, but did not contact Mr Massey (as appears to be the case, since he posted again without saying things had been addressed) then that is, in sum, pretty outright hostile behavior from Apple to both its users and developers.
Corporations are groups of individuals, and the individual in charge of the web forum is not the individual in charge of developer relations or the AU SDK or debugging Logic (and those are usually four different people). Even so, they all are intended to be united under one common brand identity...and in Apple's case, Apple is supposed to be a "friendly" company (even though its CEO is anything but).
Apple, collectively, is violating its own brand identity here...
Even though that's nearly besides the point. Apple has created a "lose-lose-lose" situation out of what most definitely could have been "win-win-win" for the three parties.
