He probably didn't even read it. Oh well. I'd rather disseminate it among people who ask. Silence is better.

I find it more amusing than anything that he did it. As if it will stop people from reading it.

I'm not angry.

For the record, I didn't read it. I was looking for a "Get on with it" pic from Monty Python, but couldn't find it either, so I left.

Any chance you could send it to me Taboo? I'm curious about what your thoughts were.

Oh, I read it. After I saw it was locked, I figured it had to be full of juicy conspiracy theory stuff, but it was really just stuff that had all already been said in one way or another in these threads before. It had just been organized and crystallized.

Either, the truth really hurts, or someone's having a bad day because a lot of threads have suffered the ban hammer.

It's actually worse that he locked it. Now it makes it look like he doesn't want it discussed. In fact I think it's better that it was locked.

This is pretty much exclusively a problem of the ME team. The DA devs have been very good at dialoguing with the fanbase despite all of the flack they get. The ME folks on the other hand seem to be completely unwilling or unable to do the same, which is unfortunate.


Didn't the DA teams also said sorry for da2 being rushed?  or did i dream that?

Locking it sends all the wrong messages. At least a statement saying this was the wrong forum would have alleviated things. Now it just seems like it's a taboo subject. Which is not what BW should be wanting people thinking.

This in itself, relates to this thread, because of such a huge lack of communication with the community.

Funny. It was shut down rather quickly. Did he read it and digest it in seven minutes?

My writing is terrible. There is no way he did it in that amount of time.

Well, this topic isn't about the discussion of the story, so why didn't it get deleted in the wave of topic removal's?

I don't think that there was anything there that I hadn't seen before. I was waiting all morning to read the write up. I just skimmed through it before posting my favorite joker eating popcorn .gif.

I guess the lesson is to be careful when posting about Bioware employees and naming names....that is not encouraged here. At least no one is getting banned.

He damned himself by locking the topic.

It wasn't a personal attack. I merely pointed out an opinion.

That's fine though. He has missed the psychological ramifications of what he's done. By locking it so quickly it makes it look like he doesn't want it discussed which makes the points I suggested even more apparent to some.

I won't fight him about it. I just want him to know that I think it was a bad idea.

I sent him a quote in Latin. I hope he knows what it means. Nothing offensive but one that symbolizes the problem. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I seriously doubt that he hasn't read Watchmen.

I think the questions you pose Taboo, are some of the most relevant in the entire Story section.

The very first question I had after completing the game, and still the one I keep asking is "how". How did the ending happen? It's so incomprehensibly awful that almost any rational explanation yields ludicrous results, and yet here we are. Just want you to know that I for one appreciate your theories and the time you put into them.

Well I imagine his boss does, he can't just start posting racist or offensive comments, he would be fired, so its not like he has total control.

The Reapers of course, they make sure no forum can create a problem that will wipe out all threads everywhere.

I'm not mad at him. I want him to know that.

I've seen this before. There isn't a plot, at all. It's a mistake at the very base level of development, one that has been at the back of my head for a while. I thought it was simply Hudson and Walters at first but now it appears that it's everyone at the top thought this was a good idea, at least to me.

I'm glad that Gamble is handling it though, as is Patrick Weekes.

Isn't that quote from Juvenals "Satires"? Who watches the watchers?

Yes. He recognized it as Latin on Twitter. I hope he understood what it meant.

And regardless of how fast the thread was locked, thank you for the effort. Made for a nice and interesting read.

The message I was trying to send was actually strengthened by being silenced.

Wow.

At least now I won't have to put any time and effort into responses. The topic can speak for itself.

It was a good read, sorry it got locked, but it was going to get ugly.    

I did like this part:  

By why am I still here? David Bowie has the answer.....

I'm thinking that it must be love
It's too late - to be grateful
It's to late - to be late again
It's to late - to be hateful


I fear the EC will come too late.
