Was this post necessary? He already apologized for the thread and to the people in question. Why pile on? All you're doing is perpetrating and perpetuating the drama.
Were any other posts that promoted this topic necessary? No. I am glad someone stood up for us, as petty as it is, he's the only one who asked questions that should have been asked at the start. Honestly this whole thread was pointless, this post included. It should have been locked when me and the other user were outed over a silly misunderstanding. I've refrained for defending myself or frost because it would add to the drama, and forum drama is meaningless to me. I will defend Mage however, because he's right. And honestly? This entire thread should be shut down.
You don't want drama? Ignore threads like this. Ignore this post and most of all, report all non-topic, hurtful posts like this and be done with it. My two cents.
