I found friendly advise is fround upon by some and they then become nasty. That's why some people with no money in the project went to town on the guy. You come into a fight with a gun, then expect to get hurt yourself. And no, his attitude is not acceptable just because that's the way he is. No excuse.
The agitators, most of the time, demanded answers to serious questions and got jack, and threads were shut down.
My take on the forum fiasco is those with preorders were scared to make noise and their fears voiced, because they are afraid that no new sales will be forthcoming and the venture will fail and they will lose their money. Its a bit like living next to a pedo but not telling your neighbours with kids because you're worried house prices in your area will be effected. Just not me unfortunately.
Anyway will be interesting to see how TAG pans out over the next couple of years
