TSR Who's running the TSR3 social media accounts?

Ernie Gygax (before he and Stephen Dinehart accused the whole affair of being orchestrated by WotC and then deleted their Twitter accounts) indicated that Justin LaNasa was running the social media accounts for TSR3, Giantlands, and Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum.

Ernie Gygax (before he and Stephen Dinehart accused the whole affair of being orchestrated by WotC and then deleted their Twitter accounts) indicated that Justin LaNasa was running the social media accounts for TSR3, Giantlands, and Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum.

After a full week of insults, barbed exchanges, and problematic statements from all three accounts, the following has been posted by somebody who identified themselves as "Michael", perhaps suggesting that Justin LaNasa is no longer with the company (which seems unlikely), leaving many on social media to question whether "Michael" exists. The new TSR3 was founded by LaNasa, Stephen Dinehart, and Ernie Gygax, and despite the acrinomious social media activity, the former two founders' names have largely escaped much of the criticism.

UPDATE -- the below tweets now appear to have been deleted.

Around the same time, the header above the available events at the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum website was altered to read: "Most role playing games will be played in old school fashion so if you're easliy offended or Rude ! DO NOT PLAY !" (sic)

So who is TSR3 co-founder Justin LaNasa? He was an American politician who ran for office in 2014 and 2020, and who was involved in a minor scandal during the latter campaign.

Mod Note:
We are having some discussions, and expect a bit of a rewrite of the rules on these matters.

We will not be opening the gates to direct discussions of religion, political figures, parties, or government policies.

But, we are rather tired with people trying to dismiss discussion of allowing everyone to play games in a safe environment as "political". Treating fellow gamers kindly, equitably and with respect, should not be a matter of politics, it should be a matter of being a good human being. That does not change just because some people have decided to try to use such issues for political gain.

Thus, discussion of issues of inclusion are allowed. If you don't like them, we suggest you find other threads to involve yourself in. Claiming, "Politics!" to shut them down is apt to get you booted from a discussion.

And, if your religion has a problem with inclusion of people due to their race, creed, land of origin, gender expression, or sexuality, that's a matter of your personal beliefs, and cannot be used as a reason to not talk about it on this site.
