Ugh. I've tried to stay neutral throughout this situation because I don't really want to be dragged into a Voat flame war and I have no horse in that race anymore, but that's just poor. It takes 5 minutes to type up an announcement to tell everyone what's going on.
He opted for a childish haiku for is first response. That pissed me off more than anything... which made the alarm exponentially louder. Some voaters are eating it up with no question.
For a while I stood by Putts management style, but his complete mishandling of the latest situation has been absolutely insane. I don't understand how anyone can still stand by and say that nothing is wrong.
How fucking hard would it be for him to make a fucking announcement and update the canary? Maximum of 3 minutes? Maybe he should try addressing the site issues instead of writing fucking haiku's.
And... holy shit!
