I don't claim to be unbiased here, since the author of that blog is my brother. However, I would point out that, on the Seddie page, he did apologize to anybody who was genuinely upset by what he wrote. I don't know what more he can do, though if there is something he can do to soothe over the hard feelings of the people he hurt, I'm sure he'd at least consider it.

Many Seddiers believe - admittedly, with some justification - that they should not feel inhibited to bash the Creddie relationship, as long as they are doing it on the Seddie page. Be that as it may, it does appear that, in the past, the long lists of anti-Creddie comments on the Seddie page did cause some Creddiers to feel put off, and they left. It may not be the only reason for the Creddiers' departure (and my brother never claimed that it was), but it did contribute to it, and may do so again. That really was the point he was trying to make.

Sometimes, even if you feel that you're right, you still have to compromise to accomplish your goals.

He never meant to imply that all Seddiers bash Creddie, or that Creddie/Cam shippers don't do the same, and he did acknowledge in a comment on his blog that he should have argued for a reduction in anti-Seddie commentary at the same time.

I do see that the Seddiers, in general, seem to be easing up lately, which is certainly good, and appreciated. At least, my brother and I appreciate it, and I hope that the Creddiers in general understand that the Seddiers are doing this for their sake, and appreciate the consideration as well.

We haven't forgotten that when somebody wrote something to the effect of, "Creddie makes me want to vomit!" on the Creddie page, there were several Seddie shippers who vocally condemned that behavior. We appreciated that, too. Everybody should.

We can hope that the Creddie and Cam shippers become stronger in the months to come.
