I don't think it's RIP fansites. More like RIP official forums.
And the forumers are upvoting it as if that collection of words means something good.
I guess the good thing is that he chose to respond and is promising a longer response. And the latest thread on the topic was not locked as soon as Arwoo posted in it (I wonder how difficult it was for him not to click that "close thread" button. OneLetter did lock his own response, of course). For a while there it looked like their policy is to simply lock every thread, ignore the subreddit, and hope the community gives up.
Maybe KThxBaiNao's "open letter" had some effect. Or maybe Arwoo didn't want to have to ban the top forum contributor, who had joined the "hate-filled" on reddit. And then whoever springs to their defense. Until nobody but bootlickers remain in the forums (as an aside, it's amusing to see how the people who applied for VFM are behaving on this. And how the existing VFMs are staying out of it).
Or maybe OneLetter doesn't actually support Arwoo's behavior, but doesn't want to go to the trouble of finding another CM (seems they had a difficult enough time coming up with this one), so is backing him up in public while simultaneously telling him to be less of a dictator in private.
Anyway, always nice to have a bit of drama to distract us from the mess that is the game itself.
