You guys do realize that baiting the OP is just going to confirm his accusations, right? I realize he is being overly defensive, but this isn't going to help any.Given the number of times multiple people have answered his questions I am not sure there is anything usefully left that can help him.
I have come to that belief, as well. But that doesn't mean we have to be deliberately un-useful. It helps nothing.

One should not take a single comment as representative of the community as a whole.Especially since several posts before this one did answer the question quite succinctly.
At this point, I'm not sure what he wants to hear if he feels we haven't answered his question.
I was responding to that individual who made the post. That comment to reflects on the community.
I tried several times to clarify what I am looking for. If you feel you answered the question, then I haven't argued with you. Again I been only responding to individual posts.
Remember what is clear to you is not clear to everyone. I get to decide when I am clear on how to handle the issue, not you.
Ok, so now I'm confused.
If you feel all my posts are relevant to your question, and thus you aren't addressing me directly with your confusion, why are you still confused?
The preponderance of responses have answered similarly to me.
So if you feel that my answers directly answer your question, why are we still trying to get this clarified?
What's still unclear? And what kind of response, exactly, would make it clear for you?

This is exactly the kind of derailment that players are apt to engage in while playing a typical PFS scenario. Such a derailment might provide a justifiable reason for the GM to move the final encounter, if it makes more sense to the story to do so.

Can people drive five miles an hour over the speed limit?This response shows no relevance to the topic at hand. This response only shows that this community is unwilling to work out issues that come up. This comment also shows that this community is unwilling to clearly support newer people in this community.
This is exclusive behavior hiding behind attempting to be a joke. If you have nothing to add or clarify please refrain from posting.
Remember what is clear to you is not always clear to everyone else.
Well, that escalated quickly.
No, scenarios are to be run as written, including locations and maps for where encounters take place. The only exception is for players, through in character actions, invalidating what is written in the scenario. You are not going to get anyone to directly contradict that statement.
Now does that mean scenarios are always run as written? No. Not hardly. Does that matter? Yeah, I guess. It sucks when you find out the GM made a mistake. It sucks more when you find out it wasn't a mistake and the GM changed things on a whim. But short of proof that something was changed on a whim, no one is going to throw someone under the bus for what was likely an honest mistake or a reasonable attempt to deal with a curveball that the scenario didn't account for.
You're not going to get an absolute answer, even in a vacuum, because that answer is already given in the guide. Expecting an absolute, one size fits all answer is unrealistic, and your being sensitive about people poking fun at that makes it less likely anyone else will try to engage you in conversation. BNWs answer was a valid response. He was comparing one rule with no listed exceptions that people routinely break with another rule with a listed exception that people tend not to (in my experience) break. Sorry you weren't able to see the merit in his comparison.
