Quote from: thedungeondelver;1083914That's all this is on my part: speculation.

I guess we should all start using words like "alleged woke morons" a lot more.  =;0)

Quote from: thedungeondelver;1083869A case that they said was almost identical to the Vic Mignogna lawsuit, is happening in Texas, Ty Beard is representing the Plaintiffs who are, and I quote "a Table Top gaming company" that has been defamed.  Except, Ty Beard stated, it would go a LOT faster because there's a LOT more evidence.  Now if you've followed the Mignogna case, you know that there is a shitton of evidence (for example, 400 tweets and that's just to start) against the defendants in the lawsuit.  Again, that's only to start!

Ty Beard stated last night (and I will link to the stream and try to get a time stamp) that the table top gaming company defamation suit that is coming is more open and shut!

So what this has to do with Steve Jackson Games, and this situation is: I think SJG is getting ready to sue Jessica Price and associated individuals and I cannot fucking wait for the shoe to drop.

Here's last night's stream:

It's either Stacy Dellaforino, or Jessica Price.  I hope it's BOTH OF THEM.  Both.  Of Them.  I hope they get fucking dragged out kicking and screaming.  Fuck both of those harpies.

Best news I've heard all year

Wait

What the Fuck?

Isn't Bill Webb a lawyer and/or judge?  Probably not a person you want to mess with.

I think that's Clark Peterson of Necromancer Games and Legendary Games.  He's a judge in Idaho.

oh... I always get those two guys mixed up.

What what the fuck?  What part wasn't clear?

I wonder what will the reaction will be in RPG.net if Stacey, Price, or both get sued.

What amazes me about moderation is that people are allowed to publicly state someone is an alcoholic, a serial sexual harasser, an abuser or whatever crime against humanity is dreamed up. This is meant to be unquestioned and the horrible sins that were committed as assumed to be known by everyone.

If anyone questions that, they are trolling. No actual evidence is provided other than a link to a 2 year old allegation. They make claims about the need for him to be punished when there is a clear statement from his company that it was investigated and there were consequences.

There are zero examples given and even the original incident there are no real details other than the admission that he did not act well.

That is enough to cause a mob to rise up and for the mods to feed that fire.

The thread on TotalCon is equally silly with preaching about the policy that is needed when 30 seconds to click and read will show that they already have a good policy. He attended this year as a guest of honor and nothing happened other than people having fun gaming.

It baffles me that people who are intelligent enough to write posts are so illogical and do not see the toxic environment they are creating.

Threat narratives, especially ones involving women, are quite potent. They bypass the rational part of the brain and go right for the animal instincts.

Quote from: Shasarak;1083883One interesting thing that I thought would be good to discuss is this little gem:



Is there anyone here that condones and supports the harassment and assault of women?

I think the main problem is the missing step in the causation chain that goes from:

Step 1: Boycott SJGs

Step 2: To be determined

Step 3: No more harassment and assault of women

Any thoughts?

PROTEC WAMMEN!

At the risk of repeating myself, it's a threat narrative. This is all old school sexist chivarly under a (sometimes very thin) cloak of progressivism.

Did anyone else notice that one of the reasons for the ban of Dr. Benton Quest was a post he made in 2012.  2012.

Do you think they have a list, or do they just troll through all of your posts until they find something "problematic" like questioning group think.

Two bans in one page of a single thread.  I think we have it better here at the theRPGsite.

It reminds me of the old joke about Navy aviation and USAF aviation; in Navy aviation there's this very thick volume of NATOPS that outlines everything you can't do while flying.  In the USAF there's an equally sized USAFE volume that outlines everything you're allowed to do.

The point is, there's very very little you can do to catch a ban here.  I think it's using Power Word: Real Name (doxing) and creating sock puppet accounts and that's about it.  Maybe "I created this account just to fuck with this person and nothing else" admissions.
