"!The tone/tune makes the music", as people usually say (at least here in Germany). I haven't followed this discussion you mention, but I could imagine responses so subtlky worded that they were in fact attacking him, but without any detectable "attack" because of the subtle wording. I think you have never read true dioplomats speak or write; those are the masters of subtle attacks through words !
The other way round was him being so sensitive that he was far more affected by the public's words than the public could sense; because - usually - the public consists of not sensitive people at all. I've seen real concreteheads in forums.
Anyway, those lovers of that ... sneak animation had won in the end.
For an old school game I had rather expected TRUE sneak animation - but it seems that those with a rather cheesy hhumour had womn in the end - yes, I don't like this animation either, even although I acknowledge its message.
Try to imagine the fanmous Thief games with the protagonist using the sneak animation from :DOS !
And if you don't know these games - well, then : Gotcha !
