[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8911632, member: 6704184"] Doesn't matter what you or I think about general professional practices, they are what they are. Your objection to them in this particular case will never impact anything. Sorry, but that's just the plain truth. As I sarcastically told another poster, I literally accounted for no one being above Chris Cocks in the post you quoted, if you'd bother to read the whole section you posted rather than just skimming it for something to immediately reply to. Now, sometimes companies do give the job of being the face of the apology to a more junior person in a leadership role, like they did to Mr Brinks, but if this gets to the point where the board steps in and is directly issuing orders to change course and make apologies for the entire debacle, it will be a statement from as high up as they can without forcing any one person to debase themselves, and the text will read as a statement from [I]the company as a whole[/I], not from any one individual. It may have a personal preamble about how much the writer loves dnd or whatever, but the actual apology will be an apology from the company, and it will be to the public, not to individual publishers, one by one, with custom drafter letters for each one. That just isn't a thing. [/QUOTE]
