I feel like they did this by clarifying their post with “maybe”. Following that advice sounds like it would be putting words in their mouth. One could equally say “Larian must have had their reasons for releasing patch 6 the way it was”.

Please don’t enter into discussion about moderation guidance in thread: you can always do that by DMing me.

In this case, I confess I’ve got a bit tired of repeating the rules again and again and decided to mix it up by half-jokingly showing how we can put a positive or negative spin on a similar point. I did not seriously expect them to accept my words as their own. What I want people to do is try to understand others’ perspectives, consider how their words are likely to land and try to avoid using ones that are clearly going to put backs up and try to challenge themselves to try to see others’ perspectives in a more positive light, which are all things we can do to try to engage more constructively as per the forum rules.

Let’s draw another line, please, and contact me by DM if you have any questions.
