I think the crowd had decided beforehand, there was nothing he could say to change their minds. So he didn't bother.
Why even bother with the AMA in the first place though? He could have just made a post saying "fuck you all we're doing this" instead.
i would have respected that more
I think if he was in the thread trying to answer the hard questions, explaining how some of the apparently more l blatent lies were mistakes and apologising for them, and admitting that they need to go back to the drawing board and listen to the community more, then we'd all have regained a little trust in him and the company. But instead he's ignoring most people and pretending everything is fine.
I think that's true, but I also think it's true that he had decided beforehand, as evidenced by his copy and paste issue giving away he had pre-prepared answers.
I'm really not sure what anyone thought would be achieved with that AMA, given the way it was approached, other than possibly trying to give users a space to simply vent in the hope it would draw a line under things.
