Curiously, the "no personal attacks" rule went right out the window on that thread at rpg.net. Interesting how they pick and choose.

New here? 

"The lady doth protest too much me thinks"

Funny how that works out with people on the left time after time.

Their ban on personal and general attacks has always been flexible, depending on who's being dissed.

Also, when someone becomes a non-person the rule doesn't apply anymore.

He shoved knicknacks in their face! KNICKNACKS!!!!

Holy shit.

I heard John Wick got an engineering degree and specialized in "Whisper Campaign Design".

That's what I heard.

From the very start I think. Years before I noticed the first whiff of radical politics there was a cool kids clique and fairly blatant favoritism in enforcement of who you were allowed to argue with and what was considered a personal attack.

RPG Net's rules only apply to Allies. Enemies are fair game, and you can tell when that designation shifts by how they enforce rules regarding the same subject over time.

If Wick's so bad, how long before any discussion of his games are banned from RPG.net?

After the youtube diatribe and threat I'll just leave this here.

A summary? That site has cancer and freezes my PC.

I guess it's no longer a personal attack if you've been unpersoned.

"Waaaaaay back in time, on the old email lists for L5R and 7th Sea, JW ruled the roost, and frequently banned people that disagreed with him."

And this is considered a bad thing on RPG.net... how?

Precisely! It is like he was directly inspired by the forum Nazis that run that cesspool.

Isn't there a saying that 'there's always a tweet' (I know in this case not true, but my point is that this is a tactic of the sjdubs. Dredgin up history to justify cancelling).

I've got a folder of stuff going back to the mid 90s. Alot of it moderator stuff as I had to look into any reports and figure out what was going on.
Mostly old reminders of exactly why I banned someone. Or why I don't interact with someone anymore. Or why I warn people away from various artists who scam customers and then have examples of why. I wish I had kept more notes as decades later I glance at the banned list and wonder why so-n-so was banned. But then remember that it takes alot to get me to ban someone - so they are staying banned.

I used to have a little track of all the aliases a particular artist went through during the course of many years of ripping customers off. About one every year for over a decade.

None of which is why these cultists go hunting for any little sin you've committed against the great god woke. Or if they are a designer or publisher doing it, for the great god $$$.
