The thing is, with this thread you are purposefully trying to be passive aggressive towards having you resign/ or be demoted. Just the title alone "Being forced to resign". For one you weren't forced to resign, you were given 2 options. One was being demoted, and the other to resign and keep it looking more professional and respectful. You chose the third option that wasn't on the table. Which was to post a thread that was specifically designed to try and show your disapproval with the decision and put "blame" on nillbug for making it. That being clear from the steam chat you posted.
On top of that your ending quote about needing both butchers and shepherds is yes true, and while I know I'm not familiar with the circumstances of your demotion/resignation, that doesn't not relate to my point here. From the info stated in the steam conversation, you are the butcher in this sense and while its necessary that's not what you were demoted for. Keep in mind this is all from that steam conversation which is the info YOU volunteered for us to see by posting it. You were the butcher, but you were being demoted for (being figurative like the quote)poking and harassing the animal to be butchered which is not the job of the butcher.
So my ultimate point is yes, do not let us make a big stink about this. However putting such a hugely passive aggressive thread and then telling people they are not allowed to take a side because they don't know the entire situation is just trying to stick it to everyone. To try and make yourself feel superior to anyone who might get upset or dislike the fact that you posted this thread.
Also telling them to go on the server when they have a problem? You are trying to start an argument about this ON the server? The proper thing to do would be to have them start a private conversation on the forums. But that just seems you want witnesses to the arguments someone may have for you. On top of that people don't have to be on the server to know you. Everything you post on the forums or have conversations outside the server ALSO contribute to people being able to know you. Why does it have to be on the server for someone to have an opinion of the things you do on the forums?
This thread was designed to spark a fight. Then you tell community members they have no right to be making posts calling you on this, it's exactly what you had wanted. Otherwise there was no point to making the thread so passive aggressively. You would have simply resigned, or perhaps stated that it was because the higher staff didn't agree with your point of view on how to be a controller, but not to try and put the blame on nillbug for doing what he thinks is best. You are more than allowed to disagree but this thread is downright disrespectful.
And thank you Bilius for trying to keep things calmer and less aggressive.
