The only malicious thing going on within this thread is the unfortunate habit some individuals have in attacking and belittling pretty much anyone who isn't worshiping the ground on which Yoshi-P walks on. He's only human and he made a mistake. Nobody is suggesting that he's a terrible person or that he should lose his job.
Accountability, however, is important. He's admitted his mistake and so...there's not much point in claiming that he put his point across well as he himself has stated outright that he didn't.
The idea that people have to quit or unsubscribe over this is, quite honestly, pretty stupid as well - you can enjoy every other aspect of a game whilst criticising a handful of elements. Some of you really need to grow thicker skin and stop acting like constructive debate  and criticism should never occur.
...and if you really can't restrain yourself from thinly veiled personal attacks/jabs, here's an idea: don't bloody post in threads related to something you can't remain civil about. Something that applies to both sides of the discussion.
Without the intention to offend or point fingers but... your posts are the only ones that have felt even mildly aggressive to me since the last outburst some pages back involving other people. No-one is really disagreeing with your upset as much as they're saying: "Okay, look... its not THAT big of a deal".
('you' meaning your side from this point on)
At the end of the day, this was going to happen one way or another. Yoshi simply could have saved himself some backfire if he thought to mention it but, well, he didn't. Everything you're looking for will be coming along at some point. Your real concerns should be the lack of space even with the implementation of new wards, not getting angry at Yoshi for something he is trying to find a way around.
No-one here is blindly defending Yoshi... what good would that do anyone? It's simply a matter of us saying that you should aim your anger and upset at the actual problem as opposed to finding the nearest person to point your finger at and blaming everything on him as though he were able to fix everything but, you know, simply chose not to.
He didn't lie, that's skewing the truth to make it sound worse than it really is. Having said that, he wasn't as open as people were expecting/hoping for him to be; if you want to believe that he did that consciously then fine, you're entitled to think like that, but no-one is in any position to accuse him of lying, just as I am in no position to testify to his innocence and say that there is no way that he knew what was going on and could never do such a thing. I just believe that he didn't because it would have been completely unnecessary. To me, its logical to assume that he didn't deliberately hide anything.
