Of course he will pay attention to a thread that he must, he has control on RTB hosting and he has to keep up with it, so yes he will direct his attention there most, and if he doesn't want stuff spewed around in the thread, I think he should be able to delete it.
I guess I think it's not exactly fair if he cleans up such bashings from his own thread and not from any others, but eh.
If someone made a drama about Badspot, Badspot would most likely lock it too.
Someone did, and not only did Badspot lock it, he also banned the OP. However, it's common sense not to bash the creator of a game on his own forums. Arguably it's also common sense not to bash ANYONE on the forums, but I suppose common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Still, I'd kind of like to see Ephi removing stuffposts from other extensive/important threads too (excepting those that accelerate so fast that deleting stuffposts is impossible)
