That's what you do if someone doesn't listen. It's not much, it's next to nothing. Unfortunate, though.
No, that's exactly what you don't do. There are a million ways to get to a suitable compromise.
ED being the bumbling idiots they are obviously can't see the benefits that 3rd party mods bring to the target audience of their products. Their behaviour in this instance (and many others) together with the attitude of the ED mods only serves to alienate the target audience and have exactly the effect that they didn't want in the first place.
Remember me calling ED 'incompetent' many times?....well, nothing has changed and doesn't look like it will as they never learn from past mistakes.
It would be comical if it wasn't so tragic.
