I'm gonna be an ass here and say he definately overreacted. He made himself the victim and no matter what we said, he'd take it the wrong way, because deep inside he wanted to.
There's not much you can do in such a situation. He'd set his mind on that he was wronged and will interpret everything from that mindset.
Agreed. I was being nice earlier, but honestly I think he was just throwing a hissy fit over the fact that he didn't get his way and was trying to be a drama queen. Even after Chris and Keith went very out of their way to apologize for the misunderstandings (Something WAY beyond what any other developer I know of would even consider doing) he still acted like a baby and ditched the entire game and community for no real reason. If that's how he handles a simple misunderstanding, I would hate to see something actually go wrong. No big loss if someone that closed minded leaves the community, imo. Still pretty lame though, that we should lose someone over something like that.
EDIT: $10 says he's still playing the game anyway
