I don't think I distorted what you said, and I certainly did not intend to do so. In your original post you wrote:
Perhaps you didn't mean that to sound as if you think WotC is making a bad business decision, but if you didn't mean that, then I'm honestly not sure what you did mean.
I don't think there is any evidence that WotC is making a "misguided, fear-driven decision". For all we know, they've crunched the numbers, and are making an informed, fact-driven decision. We simply have insufficient evidence either way.
I totally understand that you are upset that you cannot buy a PDF. I also accept that you are not the only person who feels that way. WotC are clearly alienating at least some customers by not offering PDFs at the same time as print. (For the record, I would also very much like to buy PDFs.)
However, it still strikes me that in stating "failing to release PDFs is a misguided, fear-driven decision", you are ascribing motivations for WotC's business decisions that you cannot possibly know to be true.
So, while I certainly would never seek to stop you from expressing your opinion on this matter, I am afraid that I am dismissing at least that part of your post as entirely unsupported by any facts.
I hope it doesn't come across as unreasonable of me to share your unhappiness at the unavailability of PDFs whilst simultaneously disagreeing with the motivations you are ascribing to WotC for that decision.
