I don't understand it much myself. He spent the past months since the boards creation trying to ruin it and now he's acting like its all sunshine and rainbows. Of course his notion just comes off as patronizing. Rather than address the issues that led to the creation of the board he instead believes the users are somehow being brainwashed by a group of nefarious spookys or that by slaying the evil IRC dragon everyone on ggrevolt will just stop what they're doing and go back to his board. It just feels like he's trying to weasel out of confronting the problem and righting the wrongs. I don't hate the man, I would just prefer it if he spoke to the users directly and put an end to the fucking board wars that have been plaguing 8chan since may. But a half hearted apology sent by a third party is just lame.
