[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8780156, member: 7808"] Lots of times when Ernie is called out for terrible behavior, people defend him by saiyng he's a "nice guy" and that he means well. I have a big problem with this, because I don't think that being nice is an excuse. Today's posts on FB are a perfect example of why. This is what Ernie posted on the DHSM FB today: [ATTACH type="full" width="522px"]262295[/ATTACH] This is from Ernie's personal FB page: [ATTACH type="full" width="523px"]262296[/ATTACH] Now I'm sure that saving Hillmoor is a worthy cause. I'm all for green space. It seems like a good thing to for the city of Lake Geneva to do. It's also 100% politics. This is the perfect example of Ernie literally using the Dungeon Hobby Shop as a political platform, calling for government action with direct links to contacts at the city. As a reminder, this was the DHSM response to people after their anti-rainbow post blew up: [ATTACH type="full" width="528px"]262297[/ATTACH] And this is Ernie's personal response, telling people that things that are "Politcal/religious in nature should be kept to ones family and rarely friends": [ATTACH type="full" width="428px"]262300[/ATTACH] When Ernie and anyone else at NuTSR says that want to keep politics out of gaming, they are lying. Ernie wants the ability to say whatever he wants to say, and wants to shut down any presence to LGBTQ+ identity when he's around. That's all there is to it. It doesn't matter if Ernie's cause here happens to be a good one. It doesn't matter if he's nice about it. He's being hypocritical and a bigot. Ernie has control of the Dungeon Hobby Shop's presence on social media, and he uses it to promote his political causes and discriminate against the LGBT community. [/QUOTE]
