If you haven't been around Mallozzi's comments before, it would simply appear to be fans upset about changes. There is that, certainly, especially with so many in a short amount of time, but if Mallozzi would either answer questions without malice towards fans or simply remain mum if it's something he can't answer, it would solve a lot of problems.

He seems to want to play in the same "fanbox" as fans, and gets offended by those making negative comments and lashes out. Most fans love to nitpick and discuss gripes -- it helps them understand the stories in greater depth. But that's generally not a conversation intended for TPTB's ears. If I was writing something intended for them, I would use a very different style of writing.

From what I can tell, Mallozzi takes fan crit very personally, even while saying fan comments and campaigns don't matter, and wants to dish out insults to retaliate. It's just not what any smart businessman does if they want to keep their customers, and they call it showbiz for a reason.
