Oh, okay, I got the impression you were referring to something more recent.
But yeah, it's a perfect example of what I mean about his incompetence coming across as malice. Heck, I'd say he's actually close to a point with that first post, and maybe even overall. The growing divide between MSPA Discussion and MSPAFA (specifically, most of the people who post in the general chat thread) happened, in large part, because the admins didn't give a damn. Which meant the problems just kept growing on their own.
But the entire time, even as he approaches saying "we really dropped the ball here", he sounds like he's making veiled threats and passing judgement on us for... I'm not even sure what, exactly. For talking about video games and being concerned that one particular type of adventure might be starting to crowd out the others?
The thing is, he doesn't even realize that. He just doesn't seem to have the slightest idea how he comes across. It made him a terrible spokesperson.
Fortunately, he's resigned now. I don't expect this to ultimately make the MSPA forums a better place when they eventually return, but at least we're less likely to see infuriating posts like the ones above.
