No, but much like in the real world, the passive people get walked over, while the a-hole who calls customer service gets what he/she wants. Now, if being a pessimist is considered being a jerk, then I'm a jerk.

Now I'm cool, you are cool, we all are cool now. World keeps spinning.

It's not being passive to be encouraging in order to get what one wants. I find that it works out better than annoying the pants off the person in question.

one can tell that yoshi is finally ending his grace period with the jp players. that's the people that have started getting on him the last few updates and why things were changed(ex: server merge method). he is finally starting to see what a developer has to deal with. people complain that tanaka was rude towards his critics and now those same people are stating yoshi should act the same.

i do love the double standards that exist on these forums.

I don't think he was rude at all. I think he handled things the best way he could, by explaining why it is a good idea to encourage him to make the changes we want, instead of yelling at him and insulting him. He is right, the previous method does tend to work better, and it continues to work long after the latter fails (due to stress and frustration).
