In regards to the demands for 'more transparency', I submit the following: Transparency- The full, accurate, and timely disclosure of information.
Last summer, a Dev was caught cheating, judgment calls were made and some of the decisions should have been made differently. No, we were not transparent then, but we have apologized for mistakes made and instituted a number of changes.
And your transparent now? Translucent maybe. Problem is people only believe a public announcement was made because someone outside of CCP already did it on your behalf, with enough evidence (if of dubious sources and content) for things to start adding up.
Theres also been alot of hard questions floating around that no one has attempted to answer (Or atleast has been in a position to give an official answer). With peoples paranioa already up theres some people going crazy over it now.

we have created a Director level position to create and enforce internal policies
Which I personally believe to have been done with good intents all around, though I could see why some people could see it as covering there tracks etc. and the old quis custodiet ipsos custodes. Though I hope (and believe) that anything found through this new position in publised in the appropriate way to prevent the mistakes of last summer. But as mentioned previous some specifics seemed glossed over.

If a member of the EVE community finds he or she cannot accept our current level of transparency, we bid you good luck in finding a company that meets your needs.
And I don't think many people are under any other illusions, its quite clear we can like it or lump it. Its also quite clear alot of people have invested alot of time and effort into eve (not to mention money) who aren't a part of CCP, and many of these people come away with a sour taste in there mouth and are inclined to react in such a manner as to invoke a similar reaction in you. Its fair to say your more open, that you've made changes to prevent similar occurences, but it can come off as "its now fixed, go away, shut up" either through intention or not.
