...And insult Savin, say that FenFen and friends have a moral obligation to finish CoC, tie up every loose end, add all the waifus, and keep it updated forever so no one is ever sad.
Its pretty hilarious to see all the edgelord vitriol where the modders refer to Savin like SJWs refer to white, upper-middleclass, straight, non-trans, christian males. Savin is actually one of my favorite people on these forums so the rabid hate is even more amusing since they attack him as opposed to more confrontational mods and/or members.

It's pretty funny, yeah.
I don't know the whole story, so I don't know if I personally think Savin's hatred for the mod is justified,
I don't
hate it, nor do I particularly begrudge its existence. I'd rather it
didn't, largely because the base game is still unfinished and all of that time/effort could have been better spent making public contributions to the source. That issue is somewhat compounded given that CoC2 is in the design/draft phase, and my body is not ready for many confused mod-players going "why my save no import" and "but in that scene, X said Y but now apparently Z is a thing WTF" as the lore gets progressively more divided.
I do take umbrage with some of the mod's practices, though, particularly taking unsubmitted/unfinished work by other people without their permission
or even bothering to inform them. Additionally, a lack of in-line scene credits mean that it's impossible to tell what parts of content are original and which were added by an entirely different author, which means either you're passing your work off as someone else's, or their work off as yours -- and you can very easily end up (intentionally or not) altering someone's perception of the original writer, their talent, and their proclivities.
Imagine someone in the mod added a scene to, I dunno, Isabella where after sex she wanders up, plants her ass on your face and farts on you for like five minutes. And that that scene had the writing level of a 10th grader. Unless you possess an encyclopedic knowledge of CoC enough to know that that's not normal, one might be inclined to think Isabella's author is both gross and a shit writer.
The mod's free to do what it likes, I don't intend to provide a
platform for it to promote the degradation of respected authors' works and the theft of their material.
Umm, I'm pretty sure the 'dog' (which is Kitteh) is trying it's damndest not to do anything that would result in the mod getting booted.
Imagine the dog is a Cerberus, or a Hydra, and all but one of the heads seems to have contracted rabies.
That being said, I'll reiterate that Kitteh has been nothing but civil and cooperative, hence my enduring hesitance to take administrative action against his primary contributors. Plus I actually really want to see HTML CoC be a thing.
It's still never a good idea to penalize someone who did nothing wrong, especially if that person is a contributing content maker for the community. That's like saying that if this were the opposite end of the spectrum, and instead of the mod stirring up the community it was Savin (Just using them as an example), then Savin should be kicked out. Obviously doing either extreme to either party is a bad decision, especially due to Savin's pivotal role in the writing of CoC and TiTS and his friendship with Fenoxo. I think we should all just stop the bickering and come to a compromise quickly so we can all focus on something more important! Like furthering the development of TiTS!
Were I on someone else's forum being vitriolic to the creator-administrators whilst writing fan-fiction, I'd absolutely be (justifiably) banned.
One does not go to the BioWare forum, write a Dragon Age mod, and then loudly proclaim that David Gaider is a supreme cunt.
(Don't do that here, either. I like Dave.)
