I especially liked this official response we got when we initially discovered the nerf:

It’s really a masterpiece. It’s all **our** fault. They gave us everything we could ever wish for, and we all abused that generosity in so many despicable ways they must never be mentioned in detail. As much as it personally pains them, we just had to be collectively punished. We should be praising them for not taking away more than they ever gave.

If one tried to express utter disdain towards the whole community, I doubt one could find any better way to formulate it.
