I'm not taking responsibility for what other people decide to do. If someone decides to steal from a store (read: non-violent, no confrontation), am I responsible for it because I dislike the business and feel like with the way they were managing their dealings that they were kind of asking for it?Flying Dagger said:Because the ones in the mob laughing and approving have no effect on the ones doing the bad things that gain their approval? Digging up details about his possible drug addiction, court cases we cannot know details of, complete character assassination, review bombing a product he's tangentially (though this is debatable) related to, pretending to be him on twitter to get him into further trouble, sending his family death threats. These are the actions of the mob, don't think just because you didn't do them that you are absolved of all consequence.
Though you're right. It is funny. Because you'd understand that if you had read the articles I linked.
No. I don't like the notion of people pretending to be Paul trying to cause trouble. That's annoying and adds to the mud of the situation. I don't like people sending death threats to family, but I know that happens in almost any high-profile scenario. Do I like people review-bombing the controller/add on? No, but that's to be expected and N-Controller is not fully absolved of their contribution to this problem (namely failing to ship, and choosing to go with Paul the "thug".)
The internet is not a private place, never was. Hell, my personal information has been compromised no less than six times in the past year through no fault of my own. Paul chose to provide that information, even if he didn't think it through.
I can sit here, and consider the information brought to me and make my opinion based on what I hear and what I can safely assume. (In this case assuming that a number of details are incomplete, while Paul's behavior in Marketting (sic) are constant and indicative of his behavior with his dealings.)
