There certainly isn't a "Hoikas' gang". I also just speak for myself. If you pay attention, you'll notice differences between what the people say. E.g., you'll note that I never said that Rawa wouldn't say anything, or even that Rawa was worse than Chogan. I rather talked about dishonesty and insincerity from Cyan in the past and now, and talked about whether it might change in the future, though I don't expect that to happen based on past experience with them.
As for optimism vs. pessimism: I don't know if it's good to look at things that way. I don't like either, really. Or rather, I should say that I don't like the kind of optimism that lies about the bad things, nor the kind of pessimism that lies about the good things. I like the kind of optimism that looks at the silver lining, and the kind of pessimism that looks at things that could be better. That said, if one is underrepresented, I sometimes point those things out more. In the case of Cyan, I feel that there are a ton of things they could do better (most importantly, how they treat other people), and so that tends to be the things I mention more. There are always a ton of people to point out the positive things in this community, but in some communities, it is the other way around, and then I tend to point out the silver linings more.

I don't want to give up on the idea that we can have some kind of mutual relationship with them, mistakes have been made in the past, but that's where they remain. We have a chance to start fresh with a new community manager, and I think we could take advantage of that.
