The point was to show what was being spread around(as if we just said Max was spreading something around, it would make little sense), and I believed it was important for people to read through and realize the information meant to attack Scarlet held no actual standing.
Its important for all sides to be read, and if I hid it or made an attempt to keep others out, it could easily linked by another party and spun with a new story to harass Scarlet. Especially sense it has already been made public. I doubt the document will lead to another ignition of drama.
In short, I believe as valuable, and if I were to neglect or hide it, it would be dishonest, and dishonesty would discredit the author(s).
