So funny to see your name pop up here! I was just looking at a few reports for your comment in the mod-queue where you made the reference to Magda Goebbels when discussing the death of the co-founder of Ubisoft. Seems people weren’t thrilled with that! And here you slide, still just as nasty. Why share this, then? Because it is a subject I care about? Oh I’m so sorry, did I make an error then apologize for it? Gardiner, myself and occasionally a couple others write articles about things we love, or believe to be important, or care about. We’re not a organization, we’re not a major site. I don’t get paid. We don’t run ads. It literally costs money to have people read the things we write, but we write things like this because we love them. I am just explaining this because you seem to think there needs to be a reason to write an article on a topic I enjoy. Have you got some articles you have written, so you can show me how it is done? Oh, okay. So basically this was just something they shit out and published without due diligence. Kindly fuck off. And in fact consider this a warning to behave in this community. I spent time on this, you can see I’ve chatted about it in the comments here, it was not ‘shit out’. Keep rule # 2 in mind going forward.

Yeah people really hate it when you show them the obvious flaws in their reasoning. We don’t teach people in how to accept correction and learn from it in schools and it really shows. People lash out instead of just taking a moment to check their ego and process. I’ll try to keep #2 in mind.

I don't really agree with the original comment, but your response is worse than what you're responding to. What does what you saw in the modlog have to do with this comment? He really wasn't that mean, and raises a valid point at least. You could've just said "We should've checked but it's still a fun topic" or something that acknowledges the mistake but moves on anyway. Also, if it costs money for people reading it, why would you share it? I assume you shared it because the cost is worth the price of sharing something you enjoy, but if that's true why bring up cost at all? Btw, it's a bit cliche to respond to criticism with the sentiment of "I'd like to see you do better" rather than accept it for what it is (assuming there is validity to it).
