If you are concerned with getting the facts right, why did you not also report that only 1 person in the RPG.Net thread mentioned shutting down the convention and they got slapped down by both a moderator and pretty much everyone else on the thread?

Um... Priests don't issue fatwahs.

999 is the UK's 911. (Or maybe 911 is the US's 999. :) Either way 911 is primarily a North American thing) "Obnoxious virtue signalling" is one of those go-to's that people like to use against those they disagree with, but in reality doesn't really exist enough to be an issue. People condemn...

If you are referring to the screenshot that Matt Finch posted without permission to RPG.net and other places, no it absolutely does not say what you claim it is saying. Why are you trying so very hard to deny something that there is no disagreement about among those who were actually there?

What on earth are you even talking about?

Citations needed. :) From my education in evolutionary psychology, ethics, and even personal life experiences, I’m pretty sure the majority of your premises are factually wrong and you provide no evidence to the contrary. With faulty premises, the whole argument falls apart. So I guess I will...

They have already argued with moderation, called people stupid, said they were leaving the thread but posted more, been thread banned, and then posted again. So I’d recommend dropping this and moving along. They aren’t interested in listening to anyone, even Morrus.

“Interesting that...” is right up there with “some people say...” as one of those rhetorical tricks to imply something without actually backing it up. Just hold your hands up and say, well, I didn’t claim that. For example: Some people say the EN World servers run on the blood of Morrus’s...

Just as a quick aside - I think you had some bad cut-n-paste or quote tags there. Caliban said that, not me, and with the snark levels you two are getting to, I'd rather not be caught in the middle if I don't have to. Thanks! :) Edit to add: No prob! Computers can be weird sometimes.

Probably not worth the time responding to "ZanzibarJones" since the account was created an hour after Aguirre Melchiors was thread-banned and amazingly they not only have similar ideas but even the same birthdate! Just sayin'. :) (and reported - it's the mod's call on that) In other news...

Even if it was a coincidence in timing, I doubt the ad was created and scheduled 5 months ago before PaizoCon. So even after this incident happened, and there was a formal report against Bill, and an internal investigation involving the partners of the company - they still felt it was something...

This is a very difficult but important question that gets missed in this. On the one hand, you have respecting what the victim requested being very important. (And given my personality, if I was that person, I might have very well made the same decision.) However, there is the issue of safety...

Agree entirely. "Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard of evidence in criminal trials (and if it went to criminal trial, I would wholeheartedly support that). Even civil trials don't even meet that standard and instead rely on "preponderance of evidence." But...

No, it doesn’t make many of us feel any better. Sure, they aren’t going to get burned at the stake, but most people aren’t satisfied with a bar set that low. “Better than history” is not the best we can do. I’m thinking you have some apples and oranges in that pie. But even if it is true, so...

So some guy probably got in a knife fight with Bill and almost died but the [-]girl[/-] grown adult woman had to beat him unconscious with a fire extinguisher to barely escape with her life. I mean, if we are going to just invent imaginary versions of the incident that conflict with actual...

Yes. Read the article above (or any of the witness accounts). One Paizo staffer was injured trying to stop Bill. So yes.

Were you a witness to the incident? Do you have information that every other witness who has spoken up does not have? That would be good to know. Because all of the people who were actually there disagree with every single thing you claim here. Personally, I believe the people who were...

Be surprised then. Robert says he was a direct witness in the PaizoCon incident (rather than a trusted confidant reporting what others have told him like with the PFS issue), because he was nearby and had to help physically stop Bill from stalking the victim through the hotel. Other witnesses...

The original discussion was about a news article about someone being groped on a bus. Discussion moved to talk about freezing up in those situations as Mentzer was saying how he didn’t believe that would happen. Then one (or more?) other friends of Price spoke up in hopes of correcting Mentzer...

No Price is not actually arguing that. She has never said that and no one involved with that conversation has ever insinuated sh said that. This isn’t about two differing opinions. This is about when a rape survivor speaks up and says “Frank, I’m a rape survivor, and this is a real response.”...
