As someone who is just a normal CC user though albeit not a consistent visitor, I can safely say that the relationship between CCCrew and us normal users is critically centered on communication. That is, I'd like to point out that perhaps the choice of diction and formality the CCCrew behave contributes to why there exists this level of distrust and wariness (for lack of a better word and/or description) with them and the community. To elaborate, obviously the CCCrew usually conduct themselves with an eloquence and aura of intellect when they respond or leave messages. However, the formal way they write (with the clear goal of being respectful yet authoritative and unbiased) can be interpreted to readers as cold, disinterested, and perhaps condescending. However, this all depends on the situation of course and written with the assumption of a normal, civil interaction with a user. Examples like talking with trolls and the generally uncivil would require more authority but at the same time no unnecessary harshness.

That is not at all how you solve a problem, that’s not how life works, and nor should it.

I agree with A&P and to add on, as a bystander this thread has been nothing more than respectful constructive criticism and not exactly a round of throwing shade. In my personal opinion, saying something positive would mean us users saying generic, dull compliments already heard before. While the CCCrew isn't perfect, it isn't fair to ignore ongoing issues that need to be addressed.
