[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9619462, member: 177"] I said nothing of the kind. I didn't say it was right. I said it was [I]well known[/I]. You get pushback on open social media. In other news, people who swim in the ocean get wet - film at 11. It is like you are arguing that, instead of telling people to be careful when they go swimming at the beach, we should instead get the water in the entire ocean to change its basic behavior. If you want to control how wet you get, you need to do some considered engineering of your water experience - you need a swimming pool, a bathtub, maybe a shower or a bidet, and plumbers to maintain the system Well, no, they aren't. They just get [I]less[/I] of it. 1) Please do not refer to real-world politics again in this discussion. Thanks. 2) No, he is not "just a D&D nerd". He's a [I]high-level professional[/I] nerd. High-level professionals, if they have a lick of sense, curate their public presentation, and have done so for centuries before the internet was invented. 3) He's a high level professional nerd speaking on the topic of his profession. If a finance exec trash talks the rival of their favorite football team, nobody cares. If they publicly trash-talk the rival to their own financial firm... that's apt to get them fired. [/QUOTE]
