Negotiation with AC

[Victor]

Their representative replied (on the same day, but I didn't see it since it went to spam):

Hi Victor

I hope you don't think me rude, but I'm not going to activate your forum account, for obvious trust reasons, simply based on your recent threads.

I don't know if you know me, but I'm not a coder, I have no experience of producing software and I'm not a leader by nature, but I seem to have become, almost by accident, the spokesperson for AC. I also look after the master server config, so I know exactly what's been 'going down'.

What I can do is ask, how can I help?

To whom it may concern:

It is my intention to understand why AC dislikes the ACR mod, and to
mitigate that as much as reasonably possible.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please reply either
directly to this email--and hope that it does not get stopped by a
spam filter--or post to the ACR forums.
...
Best Regards,
Victor

P.S. I have marked up your original email with grammar corrections. I
do advise you to use proper grammar.
