Got an email about a wishlist sale, and decided to answer this and fix errors in a recent post while I was here. At least now that I've eaten and slept a few times since then, I don't think I'll be as tempted to lace this message with cursing and personal insults.
Linko90: Additionally, at no point did I threaten to close anything!
When you said "don't do that" as a gog.com team member, you made an implicit threat: Don't do that, or else ... If you don't want people to guess what that threat is, make it explicit. I guessed at a threat based on past observations. Leaving it implicit just makes it convenient to lie about it later, when you are called out on it.
Linko90: Given the OP requested mod attention, I find your reaction a bit over the top.
It doesn't surprise me that the OP requested mod attention. The fact that guessing at a release date requires factoring in the motivations of both gog and Beamdog, and therefore will always attract Beamdog criticism seems beyond the OP. There are already at least 4 threads on this topic that I can find in the NWN subforum (where this sort of thing belongs, anyway) without even trying, but OP explicitly stated that
this thread will be different: no Beamdog criticism allowed. When faeries didn't appear to make this reality, the cops were called instead. The fact that you readily agreed to shut down the conversation pisses me off almost as much as your claim that you didn't make a threat (yeah, yeah, you didn't say you didn't make any threat, just not the threat I guessed at, and without actually clarifying the threat).
All this, and I didn't even diss on Beamdog at all in any of my postings, and even consider some of the anti-Beamdog posts to be in poor taste and unrelated to the topic. Of course I also consider "they fixed my intel graphics issues" to be misplaced, but you didn't ask for those posts to be removed.
This is not the first time you have pissed me off, and it isn't even the first time I've called you on it. Given that you are the voice of gog on the forum, I don't think abandoning the forum while you are still here is over the top at all.
