Maybe. But it's speculation unless the emails in question can be produced. I gotta say, it seems strange that someone would email a game designer to complain about HR stuff and the recipient would forward it to the accused. If it's true that Mearls forwarded info from an accuser to an accused...

And there is the issue - being a fan of someone's work and/or almost working with them isn't knowing them. You know of them. People reading things other people post on the internet gives them a false sense of familiarity. Unless it involved stuff done in the context of doing business with...

Again not proof of his having doxxed anyone. Its her calling him names because he didn't believe an accusation she made. We don't know what investigation occurred back then. We don't know what the facts are - posting something on the internet is not proof. A snippet of an email she didn't...

Newsflash - that's not proof. Not even evidence. It's a tweet calling Mearls a POS for posting a tweet stating that he looked into allegations that weren't a smoking gun. No more, no less.

More like an Unearthed Arcana on steroids.

I like you you inferred something that was neither stated nor should have been inferred - goes to the mindset of the reader. Unless someone actually files a lawsuit or criminal complaint or corporate complaint, depending upon the venue, I put no more stock into their complaint than any other...

So - that begs the question - what is the right time and right circumstances? If they are squatting on the IP, they need to get off the pot and license it, since, invariably, a 3PP who knows the lore inside and out would almost certainly do a better job. Again - goes back to - I'd rather have...

I thought it was abundantly clear. Posting something on the intarwebs doesn't automagically validate it as true, regardless of who is posting it or what their motivation is. Whether criminal activity or just being a terrible person. And it shouldn't automatically result in ruining peoples'...

That's not Robocop's purview - that's for Wall-E.

I'm not suggesting that corporate polices are held to the same standards - but they are held to a standard, and it usually is a higher standard than "someone said something on the internet."

I'm feeling generous - you have 31... :ROFLMAO: But that' my point - the ED-209 is the internet mob. Even though the suit was clearly unarmed after he dropped the weapon (i.e. not proven guilty), ED-209 still treated him as if he still was, without actual proof (or rather, in spite of evidence...

You have proof, beyond internet allegations? Great - let's see the civil or criminal trial transcripts, or the results of a corporate investigation. Internet mob justice doesn't equal proof of guilt. Doesn't matter if the accused is a POS or not.

So - let's be clear. In most corporate situations, there are typically well-established standards of behavior, dress codes, values, etc. And every employee is supposed to understand them. So - when someone says something homophobic (or any other behavior not rising to the level of...

I much prefer the ED-209. "You have 30 seconds to comply." But that's the M.O. of the tragically offended, and it's overkill.

It's not moving any goalposts. It's objectively establishing that the same goalposts are applied to everyone equally, regardless of personal affrontery.

Broken stair is the phrase he used - I'm familiar with the missing stair concept. More importantly - the original use was referring to a rapist - actual provable criminal activity.

That's just it - social actions don't have to be a mutually agreeable activity. Someone being offended by someone else's words or actions doesn't necessarily equate to a crime being committed. No one has the right to stifle anyone else just because they are offended. A lot of things offend me...

Since when did an objective "this object is broken" situation ever equate to a subjective "somebody did something that offended me and it may or may not be a crime" situation? Bad analogy.

That, and the fact that I have every one of the 1st edition RPG products, including all of the issues of infiniverse.

I'm just gonna say it. Enough about this, metoo, gamergate, and every other petulant manchild/womanchild whining and wringing of hands. I don't care if someone treated some other people badly at a public event and a separate person didn't do anything/didn't do whatever is considered enough of a...
