So here's how Tom said on 01/22/14 his "presentation of demonization" (as I refer to it) when down to Ken Berry "innocently" enough:
I don't want to be at odds with you, and frankly, I don't know why I am.
All I did -- literally, ALL I did -- was suggest XSEED use the existing
fan-translations for the Ys games to save time. I then went over the full
story of what happened with my coworkers, including the Felghana patch
leak and the subsequent drama surrounding Ys Origin. I didn't speak highly
of you, of course, but I didn't lie about anything either -- I made you
out to be the victim in the case of the Felghana patch leak, as that was
absolutely a dick move on the part of the leaker, and I made you out to be
the villain in the case of Ys Origin, because I absolutely feel you were.
But nothing I said was untrue, and I linked Ken to your website so he
could research the matter for himself and make his own decisions.
Nothing about DeuceBag's cock-flashing made it into this presentation of course, he was just the "good guy" from the forums, Tom just put
me under a microscope...
Also, all of Tom's troll posts against me on the ALoY forums, he expunged/deleted in 2008 as part of a "nerd truce" with me... So you couldn't find that dirt on him if you wanted now (it's my fault, but it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome, just sayin', he had all the power of influence in the world at this key moment, he cleaned himself up, he poisoned the well of first impressions for me, that's how he got the outcome that he wanted!)...
Notice the denialist propaganda-style, "WHY are we at odds with each other ?? WHY would you be angry about this
I DON'T UNDERSTAND!?!?"
"These aren't the droids you're looking for, Nick. Nobody cheated you, Nick. You were just a Japanese text delivery boy, Nick. You didn't translate a single word, after all, Nick... Get over it, Nick, etc."
