An developer actually stated that and if that was said it said an whole lot about thier customers especially that speak out against an product.
The screenshot showing it was removed from the thread because it's considered inappropriate to show someone's personal account, but basically someone said something to him and his response was that he doesn't go to forums because all forums are trash. It is his personal account, not his guru account, so he is allowed obviously to say whatever he wants. And he's entitled to his opinion that forums are trash. The problem is, that when you are someone who is somewhat high profile because of your job (he's a senior producer for Maxis), you do have to be cautious for the good of your position. He could have just said he doesn't frequent forums. It just doesn't suggest that he cares for the fans at all, and you know he'd never say such a thing on his guru account. Which is where the other tweets, and the main focus of this thread actually, are from.
Hopefully the conversation didn't get too derailed.
That is true and even if that got lifted from his personal account the cat is out of the bag regardless of what account was used and that info may work against him or her.
