[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8428015, member: 177"] Oh, that's rich. I expect nuTSR has more actual employees than you do. It is more than a bit ironic that they didn't determine the truth before speaking that tidbit. We can only hope that they look at the mismatch there, and learn something. Maybe Mr. Hovermale will wander in and look at this thread - we can lay out several honest questions: For Ernie Gygax: 1) Does Ernie Gygax recognize that he said harmful things? 1a) Can he state how those statements were harmful (to demonstrate his understanding of the issues)? 2) Can Ernie say he's genuinely sorry for causing that harm? 3) What concrete actions, going forward, does Ernie plan to do take make it right? Appropriate answers to the above questions comprise a real apology, and might be a great first step in repairing the damage done. We can add for Mr. LaNasa: 4) Does Mr. LaNasa understand that EN World is not, in fact, a large business? 5) Does Mr. LaNasa recognize that there's public knowledge of a stack of statements and actions in his past that look inappropriate, in either a business partner, or a custodian of a beloved brand? 5a) What concrete actions, if any, does Mr. LaNasa intend to take to improve this perception among folks who are skeptical of his leadership and intentions? And, for Michael himself: 6) Do you realize that the statement that TSR social media accounts were compromised, without supporting evidence, is difficult to trust? 7) Do you realize that Ernie's failure to offer a real apology works against people accepting this otherwise unsupported statement? There are no traps intended in those questions. I, personally, would much prefer to have a positive image of TSR. But their own actions and responses to criticism make that difficult. [/QUOTE]
