At this point, I have stopped trying to inform anyone. I have stopped posting on the topic altogether. However, this is pretty big news, posted publicly by MLG themselves. If AlphaZealot or other MLG Staff wants to lock the discussion, that is their prerogative, but the community DOES have the right to express themselves on a public forum. I'm not going to unfairly censor people.
It's not unfair censorship. It's called "not ******* over two people by letting 100 misinformed morons post whatever slanderous material they want as if its true." Yes, this is a discussion forum, but this is
not a "let's slander two of our players by spreading rumors and lies" forum. By letting people "discuss" this, all that will happen is that:
A ) people are going to make M2K / ADHD seem more like rulebreakers
B ) hundreds of people are going to get the wrong story before they get the right one (as MLG hasn't even posted the full details of the charges yet)
C ) people are going to push either MLG to take legal action against M2k / ADHD, or people are going to push M2K / ADHD to take legal action against MLG
D ) both of the player's reputations are going to be ruined, perhaps permanently
E ) MLG is going to see
exactly what kind of community posts about this kind of stuff, and drop us even faster
Please,
please explain to me how having a bunch of people with
no proven, definitive, verifiable information post about a topic as important, sensitive, and far-reaching like this is a good thing? Yes, people should have the
privilege to discuss things (because using SWF is not a right), but not at the expense of potentially doing irreparable harm to the entire community.
