Message: <blockquote data-quote="JackMann" data-source="post: 8803546" data-attributes="member: 7038283">I think part of the confusion is that there are a few separate issues with NuTSR and Lanasa. They fall into two categories, broadly, which are somewhat intertwined.The first category are essentially defects of character. The bigotry, the cruel statements about people's children, the character assassination. These are the biggest issues going, and are the main reason I would push to keep Lanasa and company out of the community.The second category are basically business failings. These are less heinous. This includes the attempts to claim an IP they have no real rights to, the inability to produce a real product, lying to customers. These are not nearly as bad as the first, and I wouldn't necessarily push to ostracize someone over them the way I would for espousing white supremacist beliefs. That doesn't mean they aren't still relevant when talking about them in their capacity as a publisher, however. Even if Lanasa and company weren't terrible people (or willing to stand up for terrible people), their track record would make it difficult to trust them to produce anything, let alone a good product.So, discussing the misspellings in that capacity is fair. Discussing them as though they were a moral failing really isn't.And of course discussing Gentry's claim that they were photoshopped in by ne'er-do-wells is probably the part that's actually most germane to this thread.</blockquote>
