Sure, nobody's perfect, and we might slip up from time to time, but accusations of systemic and organized dishonesty are completely false. |
Just as you wish your slip ups to be charitably framed, you might want to consider that people are less likely to believe in "systemic and organized dishonesty" as they are that the same results can come from a subconcious bias to remain relevant to the largest segment of a downwardly trending demographic. It's only natural that those with a vested interest in the success of the site would lean toward a pro-
WotC bias without ever having to do so purposefully. Also, people should be careful not to fall into the trap of believing that most critical opinion is negative by nature when in fact it is more often meant to bring about positive change. Beware the extremists on both sides but be sure not to ignore that pseudo-positive extremists damage the dialogue by stifling the critical discussion that can otherwise improve all manner of things worthy of close imspection and analysis. Just some cautionary thoughts.
