Like this, boss?... What's with this place? There's never a cop around when you need one!

There are no sticks? Only carrots? And when a great example is given to debunk your assertion, you rule it out of bounds. That's pretty handy. Tell me. Do you find any conflict of interest in being a participant in a debate, and its referee?

So therefore Criminal Intent should no longer be a crime. It attaches ethical fault to things that never actually happen.

And yet corporations spend all sorts of time, money and energy building brand trust. What dopes!

In the pre-pandemic paradigm. But I do agree with you here:

A hypothetical?!? Ok. I'll play. What if it was a complete stranger? Or better yet, a faceless corporation. And what if he tried to take the money of many people? Their livelihoods, in fact. What if he lied about it to your face? And smiled condescendingly while he did so? What if you had...

Like I already said elsewhere, if someone tries to rob a bank and is stopped, should we completely forget what they were attempting, just because we stopped them? What would have happened if we didn't stop WotC, and they got everything they wanted? Do you think they've stopped wanting it?

Sure, when you quote me out of context. But had you only read the very next sentence, you would have discovered what happened before that morning... "Before that, Paizo announced crazy record sales. WotC was watching unprecedented cancellations of subscriptions, with no end in sight. And the...
