Basically CR says that DSmart is using his connections to the GamerGate community to wage a shadow war against CR and Star Citizen because Derek Smart is a jelly loser that probably has a small dick.

Yep, that's the response of the CEO of a >90 million Dollar company.

Regardless of any other truths, this is probably true.

Anyone else feel bad for Sandi? I mean all she really probably wants is to be a c-tier actor on some daytime tv show, who hobnobs with good looking people and acts out dramas revolving around everyday life. Instead she's got to pretend to like spaceships and put up with fat nerds non stop. As it is, no one appreciates her sacrifice anyway and just shits on her for answering emails or whatever. Of course, in this environment, just being a normal girl is going to make you a huge target. I hope she's getting a lot of money because honestly she's probably the hardest working person of the bunch.

Dear Doctor Smart,

As per your request, I have changed the offending remark.

"When he was convicted of bank fraud in 1994"

has been altered to:

"When he was convicted of bank fraud and raping an entire petting zoo in 1994"

I hope this is satisfactory.
