In what way does this meet those criteria? And this only hurts their organization. | ||

The point of an April Fool's joke is that it's believable enough until you reach the end, when it becomes clear, not blatantly obvious, but clear that it's a joke. It's not supposed to have a TLDR: APRIL FOOLS LOL at the end, but should get progressively more and more ridiculous as you read on. The point is not to believe the joke until the big reveal the next day, the point is to trick a person for a little while until he finishes reading the post, video or conversation. If this is an April fool's joke it's the most ridiculous and retarded joke ever made. Because it will hurt the organization instead. It's not a good practical joke to announce to the world that your organization is a joke, because even if it was intended as a joke, it ends up being true anyway. | ||

A statement which we hope will clarify things. http://www.eclypsia.com Published on https://www.facebook.com/EclypsiaCOM Pretty stupid. You owe Welmu an explanation, and Welmu is satisfied, he can tell us what you've agreed upon. I can't stand the constant need for organizations to send public messages for what should otherwise be private/internal dealings. Welmu created the thread out of necessity due to his inability to privately contact you guys. Now that the public has rallied to get your attention, settle things with him, and allow him to clear things up. Unless something that he's saying is completely off-base, there's no need for you to create a "public statement" since you should have been responsible to deal with this internally to begin with. Sure, your brand has been tarnished, but the best way it can be restored is to appropriately make amends with the one who has been victimized. This whole announcement of an announcement thing has gotten out of hand. | ||
