My guess would be that they were saying that Cloudflare's HN comment on the incident was to complain about google not cleaning up after the incident.
> the particular way you expressed your point heavily implies it.
You can't turn around the burden of proof this easily. Saying "the particular way you expressed it" doesn't give you license to make things up about a comment that is an inch above yours.

>the CEO’s strategy was to turn up here and criticise Google for not deindexing quickly enough
This wording implies that the CEO deflecting on HN was their strategy for responding to this problem, not that the CEO deflected on HN in addition to admitting fault elsewhere. Typically 'strategy' is used to refer everything that they planned to do, not a single action.
