As for the discussion themselves, the feedback tends to be fairly homogenous because anyone who posts even a marginally different viewpoint is subject to background checks, dogpiling, and verbal abuse. If there's anyone out there who has been enjoying Kaiten's removal, we'll never know because they're probably too uncomfortable to post. And posters here by and large feel validated in mistreating others because the fact that Kaiten's removal is 'under review' implies that they have been somehow wronged. It's that riot mentality. But that's not going to be solved by us - there needs to be moderation to merge down these redundant threads and enforce decorum again. This is not the Warcraft forums.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but if you really want to make amends, the thing to do is to consolidate your SAM feedback yourselves, stop creating redundant threads, and allow others to engage with civil debate. You'll find that more people are receptive when you're not disrupting what they're doing.
