It's just really hard for me to get over this very personal, extremely unnecessary name-calling and general b*tchery. Someone was doing this to me in WoW today and it about made me cry. Needless meanie-butts just really bother me for some reason
Its nice and everything...but i remain sceptical of his sincerity.I find it hard to believe that he didn't realize posting those custom ponies would end up in people just mocking them. And he was snarky towards old gen ponies long before this. We will see what happends i guess. But this is at least something.
I find that hard to believe too, but at the same time, why would he bother apologizing insincerely if he really didn't care?

He's dealing with rebellious teens, it takes careful wording sometimes to calm things. He's just trying to apologize and stop any future trouble in the only way possible.Personally, I think the whole "us vs. them" stuff is childish on both sides and should stop. It's why I stopped visiting here a while back, the constant hate toward the current generation and its fans was rather upsetting to me.I think the difference between g4-only fan's "hate" toward us and g1-4 "hate" toward them is that they genuinely dislike the things we like/create, while we just dislike the fact that they dislike us (and drag us into their community with posts like yesterday, obviously). The thing yesterday upset me not because they thought it was funny to use old ponies (the MLP subreddit did that too, and it was very tasteful and respectful), but because they dragged older artists and individuals into the conflict and proceeded to bash on them. It became individual; instead of hating on g1 ponies, they hated on g1 artists. I hope you understand that, but I think you will. The bronies here seem so calm and respectful. I think we just hear the vocal minority at EqD, unfortunately. You seem to be under the impression that everyone on EqD hates the older generation. This is very untrue and I hope you will realize that someday.EqD has a large number of people who do love the other generations and there is an even larger group that doesn't care for the older generations but is respectful enough not to insult people that are fans, sadly it's the small group of people who spout hate about everything they dislike that get all the attention which is exactly what they want. There are hateful people there, a small minority, and there are hateful people here, a small minority, that will just hate something just because it is different. There will always be rude people, both in real life and online, there is no getting around that, but trying to force an us vs. them fight benefits nobody and just leads to hurt feelings.
