EN World (and I) are not connected to the ENnies any more, and I don't have any insight into what they'll decide. I do know they announced that something was forthcoming.
I hope that announcement is sooner than later.

I'm not sure I'd go that far as to say we endorse his behavior.
But, removing the credits does say that we don't.
Why does stripping him of credit for his contributions need to be part of his social punishment?
I know, I was in Frank's game that got cancelled and was planning on going to his Frankenparty. But calling someone rapey is way beyond lecherous or even harrassing behavior.
Note: I don't know Frank personally, but throwing rape around casually is a bit much.
I am scared...
Could we please just go back to talking about game mechanics and the art and science of RPGs? ...
I'm still sad.
You are scared. You are sad. So we should all be silent, and not talk about such matters. I am sure, you are not comfortable. My sympathies for that.
But I am sure Zak's victims were not comfortable. I am sure my wife was not comfortable when she was sexually harassed by a member of a convention staff a couple of years back, either.
Being silent wasn't what dealt with that convention staff member. People were silent about Zak, and that didn't seem to make anyone safer. It looks like if we remained silent, Zak would still be able to victimize others. If we remain silent, other men will not recognize that such behavior will not be acceptable any longer, and they will not know of the consequences. And the young daughter of a friend of mine, who I recently taught how to play, who has become a GM in her own right, will have to suffer, because no change happens in silence.
Silence, Celebrim, is tacit acceptance of the bad behavior. So, no, your discomfort is not sufficient to stop this discussion.

There's probably a reason Celebrim feels uncomfortable when these issues come up. Maybe before he continues to involve himself in this conversation, he should talk about that.
