[QUOTE="Fanboythree, post: 7652644, member: 77607"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri]We sought this course of action because banning someone from a local store - even 22 stores - really has no effect. He would have laughed at us (and in fact did). Regardless of his actions on the day, because of the nature of the nature of the internet, his 'crime' was repeated every time somebody clicked on his Youtube video. We were seeking two things. A public apology, not just to that one player he insulted offhandedly but to everyone that was appalled by his language in that video. And the removal of said video from the public domain. As of this morning the offending video has finally been made private. Because our game stores contain lots of people who were bullied at one point or other in their lives and our hobby has always been a welcome safe haven for players with Aspergers. Because to do nothing is simply unacceptable. I have maintained a dialogue with Luke throughout the process. Once we've achieved our twin goals - public apology and removal of the video - I will contact all the site owners who posted or reposted the original notification and ask them to delete these threads and replace them with his apology. As of this morning, we’ve achieved one of our two goals and I expect to be able to confirm we we have achieved the second goal later today. None of us should be forced to live with the consequences of our actions when we were 18. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
