Wow, you guys have become pretty accepting?
Quote:When I mentioned "tin foil hats" I was referencing the folk(s) who have been accusing us of deliberately not including this change into the update to personally spite them, rather than those who are encouraging us to add a critical threat range bonus to the Mechanic tree.
I'd almost believe it but there are a few things in this apology that indicate to me that is a begrudging apology and not sincere.
There are quite a few weasel statements, which is what you say when your giving a Clayton's apology (an apology that isn't really an apology but a justification).
The above quote is one such fallacy.
Who are the folks who have accused Turdbine of personal sleights against them? Then bulk of the opposition posts have been civil and constructive.
The core of the opposition has been Flagged who was asking for a response from Sev and a few others who have said that Jerry's behaviour was inappropriate for a CS rep. There is always the odd fruitcake screaming my Uber planned build is ruined, but that is not really who Jerry is referencing.
And Jerry didn't just make an off-the-cuff comment.
He made it several times and laughed at his own witty put downs.
Does someone laughing like that resonate with someone thinking internally that "I should not be saying this because of background moderation issues...blah, blah, blah". BS.
Sorry guys, but I am going to be cynical and say his apology is not sincere and he's just doing it because he's been told to close the issue out.
Sev and Cordo know there are mule accounts just waiting to cause them grief so they're trying to shut it down - plain and simple damage control. Nothing more and nothing less.
Sorry to those few optimists left amongst us.

I call bullshit on this for two reasons.
1. Have you ever known Cordo not to close a thread or use the banhammer? The guy is a trigger happy power deprived forum moderator with a insecurity complex. Why has he been so "generous" this time?
2. What exactly is the violation that Flagged has committed?
