The last author's note wasn't to mean that DMs don't care about their players or the characters in their world. For me, at least, it's quite the opposite. We want to push and provide shenanigans, sure, but when things get out of hand or go a little too far, the blame often falls at our feet, and we feel that. Roleplay-heavy DMing requires walking a fine line.

Transcript:

Fluttershy: I'm… sorry, my Breezie friends, but it's time to go. The way home will be closing soon; this is your only chance.
Breezie: <achoo!> Merte marshken farde!
Fluttershy: It doesn't matter if you have colds. And I'm sorry, but I doubt you really do.
Breezies: ERSKI PARLI POLIN!!
Fluttershy: I'm sorry! Keeping you here would be irresponsible and you all know it. I can't help you anymore. Go. GO.

Fluttershy: <sniffle>
Applejack: Well roleplayed, Flutter. But seriously, DM, that was cruel.
DM: …I have regrets.
