Irene doesn't do anything to the site without being told to do so, and she has specific orders to deal with other things. Moreover, Irene does not have the ability to ban or edit posts, so any retribution or infliction of a 'communist state' isn't her action.
Have hundreds of fans pestering you every day for a game that you want more than anything in the world to *give* them, plus trying to actually make deadlines on other projects and see how it begins to wear on your ability to not be snappy when confronted by the same question the 400th time.
Just a wee bit frazzled and stressed it'll leave you. But, again it's easy to forget with the distancing mechanism of the internet that there are human beings on the other end of it when you start flinging accusations or the like, without knowing what the reality of the situation is.
That's that."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.
"I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.

Fine, you're her manager. If you don't see a problem then you don't. But as far as I'm concerned if she were my employee posting on the company's behalf on a board frequented by my most loyal clients, I'd take her acess away. You're all under a lot of press, but I've never seen you or Chanz post anything that even remotely rubbed me the wrong way like that - and you've withstood provacation far, far worse.
I've seen Chantz and Rantz post things that were quite acidic and sniping in fact. What do the boys do? They slink away with their tails between their legs (mostly) and shut up for a while. Irene's posts seem to be mostly factual and devoid of emotion -- purposefully. Still it doesn't matter if there's no emotion in it, the boys take it hard and take it personally.
Fact is A GIRL is working on MOO3 and is privvy to info these young lonely basement boys are not. SHE tells them basic info and THEY treat it like a scolding from their mother.
Her fault? Me thinks not. Me thinks it is a case of misdirected prepubesent anger from boys who simply can't handle dealing with GIRLS in a way thats not teat-driven.

To me, Irene's follow up comments bordered on downright rude and were certainly uncalled for, given the situation. Is that my problem? Nope. Is that your problem? I think so, but if you don't agree, I'm certainly not your appointed management consultant.

I didn't think it was that big a deal what she said. I looked at it and was expecting alot worse from all the collective buttlock that people have. Let the developers sound off a little. If you're going to have some discussion with them, you can't expect them to be plaster saints. If you want that, you will just get soulless corpospeak.
Of course...in return...I think we ought to have freedom to speculate and troll...like is the "bigger than MOO3" something like losing the contract or going out of business, etc. But I'm not allowed to post those trolls so I won't. But still, I think you all should give Irene a break. And regardless, don't be so thinskinned. I like to think I can troll the developers, so its only fair if I don't run around like a little hurt boy when they cut lose a quip or two. Of course if I were Irene, I would have hit a lot harder.

THOSE are the types of things that make me and count to ten so I don't thrash someone about the head and shoulders with my cane.
Honestly most of the MOO posting I'll be doing until the game is out will likely be here, since folks here at least seem to have *some* semblence of rational thought... lolRantz Hoseley
