Why the hell should he respond to people who are clearly attacking him?
It’s not like someone just came in and asked why he gave the second note. Then I could agree he should respond. But it was only brought up by posters who were clearly using it to attack the mod in question. Sure, maybe if it was a big deal, he might should address it anyways. But it’s not.
When posters who are hostile towards you try to edge right up the line of pitting them in ATMB, I have no problem with the mods not responding. And, when they snark at them, I have no problem with the mods snarking back, like Hari did.
If you want responses, you should be required to be civil.
