When it came to actual threats, I can see WotC's point.If you wanna diss my work, that's fine -- well, it sucks, and I'd probably try to have a dialogue, but there's no real problem there.  If you wanna diss me personally, that's lame, and while the dark half of Tacky will happily wade in there and start discussing people's mamas, the better angels of my nature would probably suggest that I leave the board in question.  But if you wanna make threats against me, that's, uh, bad.  I don't know whether you're a 13-year-old who's just mouthing off because the Doom-3 server is full and he's got nobody to yell at right now, or whether you're a very impassioned reader who thinks threats against the author are the best way to make a point, or what.  Regardless, I'd leave that forum in a Eberron minute -- or, if I had the power and pull, I'd get those discussions forbidden.A few idiots with poor social skills can indeed ruin everything for the rest of us.  I don't see an author who has their day ruined because they went to the discussion forum for their work and found someone threatening their life as "thin-skinned".</blockquote>
