I don't think I like you. This reads like really crappy PR. I feel like you could at least learn how to express yourself in a way that sounds sincere considering that's essentially your job.

Just to recap the reasons people are pissed at Alexis..

• He's the one who fired Victoria[1] and didn't bother to tell any of the moderators. Then he minimized the work she did repeatedly, as if she was nothing more than an email address that could be checked once a day by anyone.

• He's also the one that made posts like this,[2] then claimed a month later that he didn't realize people were so upset. That's an obvious lie, just read the comments there. He knew people were upset, he simply doesn't care.

His overall smug, two-faced, patronizing attitude.

• The fact that he was a top mod of /r/technology when they were censoring a litany of words, then took zero responsibility for it[3] once it became a scandal.

He lied about the /r/technology censorship and claimed he didn't know about it, when users were actively asking him why he was allowing said censorship.

In short, hubris and deception.
