Perhaps it was a thoughtless mistake. As has been said, I see no reason for the scheming that so many of you think occurred, because he was already conqueror. He did offer an apology of sorts and it was ripped apart, as anything he said would be. No kidding, keep quiet.
As attacks become more vicious, it looks more and more to me like some players who hold a terrible grudge for past disagreements taking fortuitous revenge on poor Blitzy. Talk about kicking someone when they are down. And way to encourage Eddie.
Your opening sentence does no justice to the cause of the accused. For what you are saying is that if he did not have intent then he was too stupid to see what the ramifications of his actions were. Logic dictates that to carry your argument one stage further means we have a complete idiot as a conqueror. Either he knew or he didn't, either way it does not reflect well upon him.
You use the word 'thoughtless' in a somewhat offhand way. Are you saying that this man who holds himself out to be a great player on a game that actually requires a skill of risk management to ascertain one's rank is without this skill? This is a man who has spent years setting himself on a platform of probity and success at playing, be that through points, medals or in the forums.
You then continue with the argument that you see no reason for scheming....well neither do we. It was bound to be found out, after all a conqueror is generally under scrutiny anyway. In the absence of a truly believable statement to the contrary we can only assume this 'scheming' was the motivating factor.
Your words 'He did offer an apology
of sorts' speak volumes. If even you, a supporter, cannot bring themselves to say an outright 'apology' what chance is there the rest of us are going to take any notice?
Finally you go on to talk about attacks being more vicious. The attacks are simply an exploration of the truth. Once again, in the absence of any other
real statement with constructed reasoning as to the act taken this subject will not go away. It may look to you as if those with a grudge are taking revenge, but this does not bear close scrutiny. Revenge can only be delivered if the chance presents itself. Sitsaholic had plenty of opportunity to put this to bed quickly right at the start. He need only have come forward, held his hands up and then those who wanted to take revenge would have had the wind taken out of their sails in double quick time. This he did not do. We received lightweight posts from a couple of his clan, a 3rd party apology care of Robinette, and finally the odd supporter coming out with further lightweight reasons and in your case, caveats, to their defending of him.
