The internet's a funny place, because it's hard to tell intent, but I just read that exchange as "good natured ribbing." Hopefully if Sylvius felt he was owed an apology, he would feel comfortable to ask.

(PS. Some of us older fans are still on board. But, if alienating old fans is the point, then maybe a seperate discussion is warranted. Not that I'm telling anyone what to do. People can say what they want.)

Edit: Oh great. Now this post is the top of a page. So, do you think that they'll be announcing a Saarebas? (You have to give me points for trying to keep it on topic.)

Hows that going for you guys?

Considering how the Bioware staff who post online usually tease Sylvius and he's always been cool about it, I assume it's going fine.

Now, Sylvius has been posting here a *long* time. He does not troll, and his complaints are mostly discussion.

No, he doesn't troll. But I don't think anyone's going to say he isn't cantankerous.

Which was what the joke was.

It's possible I mostly don't notice that.  Because I didn't think it happened very often.

I am sorry, can you guys hand me that morality tape-measure... I forgot the distance between "good natured personal ribbing" and an insult.

Considering the person involved doesn't really get it - I think that you needed to have checked with your "friend" before simply having a go...

Pretty basic, really...

*shrugs* Any discussion that improves the way people talk to each other online, especially with regards to bullying etc, is fine by me. (I've assisted in moderating a - much smaller - gaming forum for a few years.) So, I reckon, if someone thinks someone said something wrong, call them on it. But, it's going to read differently to different people.

(In my experience, people will generally raise the problem if something has offended them. Yes, there are reasons why people sometimes don't, maybe private, who knows, but I often find it difficult to figure out what's offensive otherwise. A tape measure would be handy!)

Pacific time makes it impossible for Sylvius to properly roleplay a chat.

Oh great, now I've gone and snortsprayed coffee all over my keyboard.

There is nothing more I love to see than Bioware employees gathering together to insult and mock the community.

Hey, let's call David Gaider - maybe he could lay some personal or professional insults at Sylvius's mother?

Now, Sylvius has been posting here a *long* time. He does not troll, and his complaints are mostly discussion.

How about we try to have a little damn dignity, especially you *CHRIS*...

It looks really fine when the *company* reacts to their older fans like we are a bunch of annoying and troublesome children.

Of course... you can "always get more fans"...

Hows that going for you guys?

I assume this is satire.

[BomimoDK]

It was just a good natured joke. Please calm down. There's history here beyond any of you. RUN!

Ever think of switching to decaf? Just saying it might help a bit.  You're the only one taking offense here as quite literally everyone else realizes it was a JOKE.  Holy zanax batman!! Take a chill pill.

Chris's initial comment was a joke?  I don't agree.  I think he was mistaken, not joking.

*comment deleted!  I fed a troll.*

Maybe it was a little easy to misinterpret your question as a complaint, but I think the folks are referring to the coffee comment

Anyway, is it likely devs will hang around BSN afterwards? I think someone asked but I didn't find an answer

Gah, Saturday at 6am again. Stupid wrong side of the world ... Ah well, I'll duck in here when I get up on sat

Nope, Darrah is still the Overlord (of the game, at least).

A live chat the day after a "big" announcement?

It would seem that Bioware is convinced that heads will turn.

This is a good thing.

This is a good thing.

Or we're more agressively communicating with the community, which is also a good thing.

Or both! Which would be even better.

But then, it's entirely possible that I've just missed that guy who posts FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

into the chat window every 2.7 seconds. He and I? We go way back.
