Also, there's a big difference between "stirring up" and intentionally spreading negativity and FUD, every single day, always looking for (often completely out of line, like in this case) excuses to do so, without a single spec of constructiveness.

Game development needs constructive feedback, and that's what the forums are for. Self elected robin hoods should learn that stay in sherwood. Overdramatized support posts don't really make their methods any less disruptive.
We shall have to agree to disagree then, my good man. You are entitled to your opinion as am I, I shall not attempt to argue for my opinion seeing as doing so generally just makes everyone else entrench further in their folly. However, I am of the opinion that self-elected Robin Hoods are awesome. You would prefer a "Robin Hood" that was elected by popular vote?

"Intentionally Spreading Negativity" I suppose a great many "Muckrakers" did that as well. The general consensus was they needed to "quiet down". The overarching theme of history at large is people forget the bad things if they're idle enough.

Is that good? Subjective. Is that bad? Subjective.

Also, for someone who loves the tar out of subjectivity a statement such as "Game development needs constructive feedback, and that's what the forums are for." Seems highly suspect. I mean, who am I or who are you to say what these forums are for? Maybe they're to gauge player attitudes? Maybe they're to lighten SE's countenance?

I don't know. People should say that more often because it sure as heck is true of far more people than would ever admit it.
