This is trying far too hard to be charitable. Mistake theory is great, and it's good that the article mentions it, but it then also presents sufficient evidence to prove, or at least substantiate, malice. At this point not having "bad feelings toward DHH" is itself a "Missing Mood". At any rate, though, the author took the correct action.
Wolves are also pretty important, by the way. Hopefully we all know that by now?
Yeah, personally, it's hard to say "live and let live" about someone who doesn't want a people to live.
Sure but I don't want wolves eating my children.

The benefit of the doubt only exists as long as there is doubt. Once there's an overwhelming body of evidence that removes any of it, continuing to give it is pretty suspicious, like you mention.
