Apparently the Reddit AMA with Steve Huffman went about as well as it could go off the rails. (techcrunch.com)

"[...] recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.”

Well, Selig did wait with leaking that phone call until he felt like all the bridges had been more than burned from Reddit's side and he officially did not want to do business with Reddit anymore, so I don't think that will be an issue...

In fairness, he posted the recording after Spez repeated something false about the call Selig was on.

@Knusper And, more than that: it shows the typical modus operandi of the Shitty and Pissy Evil Zombie. When people don't fall for his bullshit, he tries to divert attention into something else, an intrinsically disingenuous tactic. All of that with the implicit consent of the company as a whole.

And as a self-fulfilling prophecy this justifies the recording. If you're going to deal with a company that should not be trusted, you need to protect yourself, and that is what Selig did.
