[QUOTE="smug, post: 5339509, member: 80872"] Yeah, no. Unless the mods ask us not to -- which they're obviously entitled to do -- I don't see how this is disrespectful or pointless. Joshua Frost himself said that he hadn't left of his own choice, in a post he made on a public Facebook page. I doubt he thought that wouldn't cause more discussion. Sure we can speculate about why someone gets the boot, or otherwise has to leave and if we do -- and I don't think that ever so many will, to be honest -- it's because we're interested. Additionally, a lot of it will just be customer discussion of the qualities of one of the people who worked for the firm to which they give their money; that's entirely legitimate. For what it's worth, to me PFS seems to be a crown jewel in Paizo's firmament and a significant achievement for Josh. As for the "Paizo isn't Wizards" line, I don't see the relevance. Paizo is run by clever businesspeople and sometimes they'll fire employees (not saying Joshua Frost was fired -- although it seems most likely, to me -- but as I recall they did fire Jacob Burgess a couple of years ago). It seems to me that they treat their staff pretty well, but that's not the same as carrying someone who for some reason or other they don't need or want anymore. Paizo don't lay people off like Wizards do -- this is a deliberate decision on their part, as Lisa Stevens tells it (and she was the victim of a WotC layoff herself, I think, as was Vic Wertz) -- but I don't think anyone was comparing this to Wizards' perennial firing programme anyhow.
