There was some glossing in the article, and I'll be the first to admit it. My goal was to get some of the higher-level concepts across rather than getting the details just right, because a lot of things have faded with time. I'm sure that some of the sequencing is wonky, for example.
I am sorry if any of those inaccuracies wound up coming across as offensive, but my goal there was specifically to avoid asking people about how they remember things going down. The result wouldn't be any more or less accurate, but it would involve intentionally reopening old wounds and trying to polish off memories that are now several years in the past. I went for diplomatically wrong.
Seeing as how the entire point of the article was "let's agree we're all fond of roleplaying and let it be," I think that seems to have gotten across well enough.
