Eh, whatever. I am obviously postulating based on what I've seen on the Paizo boards over the last years in terms how they treat people. I can't know what was going on in the heads of the moderators (or whomever pulled the trigger) back then. It can of course have been because someone in charge was just spiteful or something like that.

Still, there is a pretty big probability that "getting shown up about the problems with design and math" was more of a problem when they were still designing the CRB than it is now. Hence, they might have wanted to get rid of people who were pointing out all the loopholes.

I'm half sure that I've heard tale of mods flipping out over people pointing out failure points in their game. Wasn't it a cycle for a while to talk down people who point out problems before making a number of there faq edits?

If you want a game modded right you have to mod it yourself.

It's a pity these threads which people spewed such spittle likely long since deleted at this point. Least in regards to the Pathfinder-playtests of yore, I would've liked to see the hate toward him, likely based in ignorance.

They are probably all still there, just buried and it would take too much work to find them.

Well, you got the link to Frank's posts right here in this thread. I presume the majority of attacks on him also happened in those threads, which you can look at by calling up his posts.
