an outside perspective:
i have been struggling to communicate online with an organization i am an officer in because octo and i have a very similar communication style: we are blunt and like to get shit done.
reviewing the logs from an unbiased point of view, my take is that octo was trying to be productive, not trying to be deliberately hateful. he was concerned about the lack of communication regarding the new spawn, so he expressed his opinions. though he didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, he might have, but that is because text is SO easily misconstrued. i dont see any evidence of him being intentionally vicious.
one thing that has worked for my group's communication is having online meetings at a designated time, not through text but through voice. a lot of the problems here too are problems with miscommunication. maybe implementing a biweekly/monthly staff meeting would be helpful?
side note: i was an active player many many years ago before I took a 5 year hiatus. i could be considered a "new player" because i am reforming relationships with admin and other players alike. octo has been nothing but helpful and kind to me, even having conversations outside of pure staff business with me in local. i like octo and think he's just misunderstood over text sometimes, like we all are.
