I think this topic has gone way beyond the mildly-constructive point and gone straight into Hogpit territory.
While I do understand that there have been people who have been hurt on an emotional level at some point in time by @DownWithOPP, we have ventured into a territory of baiting and blasting - neither of which seem to be overly conducive or even mildly-constructive in any way.
As someone who has played with @DownWithOPP once or twice over my lengthy tenure online, I do agree there has been a pattern to his behavior. However, it takes a lot to bare apologies on a forum like this and I do feel we need to give a bit of credit where it is due. Is he sincere?
Honestly, there is no way to know for certain as only time will tell. However, I cannot help but think this is a 'glass house' situation. When you are online for a lengthy period of time, it is highly likely that each and every one of us at some point in our hobby has wronged another. At least he has taken the first step to make an open and public apology. Could it be too little too late? Well, that is up for the people issued the apology to decide, not us.
This is a perfect threaded example of how something benign can denigrate pretty quickly into nothing more than thrashing. If this were a 'hogpit' post? Fine. But right now? It's pretty unbecoming of the category it is in. There have been a few constructive posts, such as @KDraygo, but it has pretty much derailed from there.
I also feel like this is something that falls to either @Arkandel or @Ganymede to address since @Auspice has only assisted to escalate the baiting of this post.
I get I am not administration on the forums, nor would I ever wish to be. I also understand that they are currently evaluating the standards and protocols by which they wish to govern the boards. I realize per previous threads that there was confusion between when an administrator is 'administrating' and when they are speaking as a general poster... and I do feel it is clear that @Auspice is speaking as a poster and not an Administrator in this thread.
However, my recommendation would be that if this thread is to be moved (and I personally feel it should be), it should be done by someone without an already expressed openly invested interest in the topic such as @Auspice has already proven.
Again, this is just my $0.02 worth and it's probably not even worth that.
