I just want to point this out, but just because you explain something to somebody, doesnt make it any more right.

I think what you're trying to say is this:

I don't think Cone was fair in editing Kowenicki's thread title for this thread.

And that's a fair point to make. The original thread title was something like "Nintendo announces mobile partnership, despite some Nintendo fans anger, Stock increases 26%" (Obviously I'm paraphrasing here) and that basically covered what Kowen was talking about.

Cone then changed it to just about the rise in stock as an precaution for the title coming of a bit combative. Was it a knee-jerk reaction? Maybe. Was it "right"? Not necessarily. So then, was it "wrong"? Not really, no. It was a simple thread title edit that didn't target anyone or derail the discussion.

Did it deserve to have Kowen to respond in the way that he did? No way. There was a plethora of ways that Kowen could have contacted us to talk about what he wanted for the thread title and how to solve the problem amicably. In fact, I think I'll edit the thread title now to make sure it accurately portays to what he wanted to say and where the discussion was going.

This issue could have been avoided every step of the way, if only folks would just talk with one another. We'll be sure for mods to be extra clear of their intentions going forward. Thanks for bringing it up though! :D
