The thing is is that this is KSoD. Now let me explain.
I have spoken many, many times with KSoD/Mak, most of them at length.What you see is just him. there is no maliciousness or hidden agenda. KSoD is straight-spoken and direct (which is one of the many things I really admire about him and one of the main reasons I chose him to be an admin). I, nor anyone else, has to wonder where they stand with him as it should be rather obvious. that is not to say that he acts/speaks without forethought or tact as he does; he just gets to the point and leaves it there. KSoD and I are very different but that works for us.
Now if everyone would just learn to take what is said at face value and quit trying to work up something behind it we would all get along a lot better.
Thanks for reading.
