Not I.
My position was that our development relationship with Amazon was "adversarial at best".

I recall the "us vs them" mention with Apple as an example -
(it was one of Branch Delay's posts)
The:
"the developers here on mobileread believe they have more of a cooperative partnership with Amazon"
is the part incorrectly paraphrased.

The contrast that was made, was that we wanted to be seen as behaving in a more responsible and professional manner than any "us vs them" group.

"responsible and professional manner" != supporting Amazon or their policies, they are personal goals.

a decent summary of what notimp has been trying to describe.
