Well... Hello again everyone! I took some well-needed time to clear my mind out of the many dark thoughts that overtook me yesterday, and so
I wanted to take the time to sincerely apologize for my misbehavior, especially to Steo when he genuinely did nothing wrong! We all do make mistakes, but if anyone actually did any yesterday, it was me and not anyone else.
It was quite nonsensical from me to do this when I was already aware of how difficult it can be to moderate so many discussions especially since the recent years, as we once talked about that...
Returning with a clearer mind
(and less sleep deprivation from being painfully sick
), I can really tell I wasn't thinking straight at all to react like this and when I'm someone who doesn't have the excuse of not knowing the forum's rules or how edits such as these happen to prevent typical escalation from bringing up politics
(thankfully we're not TwiXter or this would already be a warzone
).
I really should have accepted to stay away from the Internet that day because I was definitely in need of some proper rest, as I was at some of my worst this year both physically and mentally (and I'm not saying any of this to make excuses for my overreactions, I take full accountability for my stupid responses).
Yet, I still compulsively checked the usual
anti-social networks and got caught so off-guard from seeing those news that I couldn't hold myself back to come sharing it here, and summarize everything I saw being said about this rerelease so everyone could have the full picture... The thing is, we were three people mentioning the more "sensitive" concerns at nearly the exact same time when we posted, and it's perfectly understandable why anyone moderating the topic would be afraid of a sudden escalation following this, so nipping it in the bud was the safest move.
I should at least have phrased my report in a more neutral-sounding manner especially when I'm someone who hates/avoids politics like the plague... (I can guarantee you'll never see me participate in the political topic, unless we're discussing why plums should totally dominate the world

), and I should have held back on my trademark anti-Ubi snark...
but it's so hard to resist the urge of mocking them sometimes.
What I should have actually done in response to my removed line was painfully obvious and a much easier solution, there's no excuse for it, even if I didn't intend to be genuinely malicious it was very irresponsible.
I reverted the original post and removed my bad sarcastic edits, so here's the preserved remaining second one under spoilers for the sake of future context and as proof of my misdeed:
I don't know about you guys, but I sure do love seeing some extremely valid concerns when buying a Scummysoft product being completely censored, and spending time writing words here only for them being completely removed without a trace... Guess I won't bother anymore for anything then, that'll save me plenty of time.
See ya, it was a pleasure talking to y'all here during all those years!
I hope everyone who ordered this rerelease will have a great time with it, and if you're disappointed/unwilling to buy it no matter the reason, we can always find relief in the fact that even some of Rayman's most obscure games aren't completely forgotten!
Let's hope it'll truly be for the better in the long run...
Now, I'm definitely gonna take a good break from the Internet for a while (aside from posting my usual creations), I think it'll be much wiser until I'm back in a fully stable shape!
The importance of both physical and mental health should never be understated...
Sorry again for making such a scene, and have a great week everyone!
