[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8807698, member: 7808"] Some minor weekend updates. The scrubbing continues on NuTSR social media. Upon leaving NuTSR discord, a number of Michael Yach's posts from the server have been deleted. Also, his username has changed again. He is now "SwordofReign77" (previously RancidLord and Space95Hog, among other aliases). It's interesting to note that as more and more offensiveness gets deleted, the last two toxic Twitter accounts (MarioRe08720153 and jigglypoo99) remain up. I can only guess this is because Justin denies having anything to do with them, and deleting them now would be evidence that they're him (or someone acting on his behalf). And there is an unfortunate bit of infighting going on in the anti-NuTSR community. [USER=15047]@tenkar[/USER] just posted a video with what I hope is the zenith of it: [SPOILER="Hiding in-line video"][MEDIA=youtube]csW4g5pNIUc[/MEDIA][/SPOILER] The short version I can put together is this: Dave Simpson, aka Knighthawk, aka GamersOnGames, has been anti-NuTSR for a long time and has a number of videos about it on his YouTube channel. In recent weeks/months, he has evolved from not only being anti-NuTSR and anti-Lanasa to being extremely anti-Ernie as well. This seems to have culminated in Dave Simpson making it a personal vendetta to ensure Ernie was dis-invited from DaveCon, where he has been a "special guest" in the past. This vendetta started with Simpson sea lion-ing all over the internet, and eventually led to him contacting DaveCon sponsors directly to harass them about Ernie's presence, which has now led to a C&D from Victor Dorso (founder/organizer of DaveCon) to try and get Simpson to knock it off and leave DaveCon alone. It's worth noting that Ernie was formally removed from DaveCon's list of special guests about 10 days ago, and it looks like the C&D is from Friday (Oct 21st). It's sad to see someone that could be an ally go off the deep end. While I may agree with Simpson that Ernie is a problem, Simpson's actions have been increasingly extreme and personal.

I guess we can all take solace in the fact that our infighting in this thread is still orders of magnitude more cordial than the rest of the internet and hasn't led to any legal threats (yet :p ). Also, just to keep things straight: David Flor = [USER=6668167]@DLIMedia[/USER] = Darklight Interactive Media Dave Simpson = Knighthawk = GamersOnGames Dave Johnson = George Johnson = NuTSR author = Extreme bigot Dave Arneson = D&D co-creator = Original TSR [MEDIA=youtube]VVzDIE0mr6A[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
