I had the impression Snape was responding to Krisk, not seriously claiming that everyone here is pro-Amazon.
I do think that Krisk is a little too quick to assume Ian was lying. Perhaps he finds it more plausible that a single individual would lie to smear a company than that a company would cancel an account for "suspicion of scamming" and turn out to be wrong.
Me, I look at two possiblities:"Person A lies about Company Alpha to induce outrage, then reduces outrage with a second lie." and "Company Alpha, which has already mechanically applied a policy intended to reduce unathorized copying to Mobileread, mechanically applied a policy intended to reduce cheating that swept up Person A, then reinstated person A's account on receiving a polite request to reconsider."
One of them seems more likely to me than the other.
