I will not play in a game where he is allowed to play in and I will actively try to convince every person I've ever recruited to stop playing as well.

I have first hand watched him cheat and try to get me to be part of it. 

I have been in a game where his in and out of character attacks of another player led to her quitting that game and the game almost crashing to a halt. 

When someone is banned for life it should be for life. I don't care if they get wealthy or famous.

The fact we allowed a couple of other players to skirt this rule also has bothered me.

I have heard stories from people I trust that are worse than my experiences but I only talk about things I have experienced first hand.

In closing,

He is a toxic predator that should be expelled from all gaming groups.

But that is just my opinion.

Your adding fuel to the fire is entirely unproductive, man.

[Blake Sterling Jr.]

I understand you have to protect your position and the decisions you have made.

But I am here throwing what ever little weight I have behind Chris on this matter.

If you can sleep soundly at night for being in bed with someone like that more power to you. It damages the respect I have for you if you're actually going to try and defend that scum bag.

Now if it's a turning a blind eye to someone you work with then more power to you.

I have a right to feel strongly and say my view on things. People have the choice to ignore me. Just because a piece of shit is popular doesn't mean it's still not a piece of shit.

I have never been afraid to stand for my beliefs and morals. Something Chris and I have in common it seems.

So No it's completely productive. You do not silence someone because they have something negative to fucking say. This is the rant board so I can say what ever I like.

But just think about this Rob.

Every time you shut someone down for speaking their mind you just encouraged someone who might have had something horrible to have happened to them from wanting to speak up.

[Shah-Khohr of Ventrue]

Ugh.

You're shouting about a dude that hasn't played here in like 10 years, man, that's why it's unproductive.

[Blake Sterling Jr.]

But he is someone in the community that people who might not be aware of might deal with.

I am showing support of Chris and his very very long post.

The five people who read this will make up their own mind about the situation.

But thank you for that follow up post, I will agree that my fear of him trying to get into the one thing I really love made me have a knee jerk reaction before I even finished reading Chris's post.

[Shah-Khohr of Ventrue]

While I appreciate your sentiment, your crowing support still isn't helping.

An analogy, if you will:

I post a long thing about how I think Corey is a horrible villain. He was fired for theft from a comic/gaming shop. He steals things, and thieves never change. Because it was a gaming shop, that makes this a community issue. All issues are community issues. People I know have been thieved from. I don't have evidence for this, but I feel it to be true.

Anyone friends with Corey is a villain. I feel very strongly about this. And it's also just my opinion.


But maybe you're right. If we're airing laundry, why don't we? It's just our opinions, after all.

[Blake Sterling Jr.]

I only listed actions I've personally seen.

and stated I support Chris's right to post.

I really want to get in it with the rest but now you're just trying to distract from the point.

[Shah-Khohr of Ventrue]

Distract from the point that someone who hasn't been associated with EC for 10 years still isn't associated with EC?

I'm not sure what point you'd like to highlight. That you don't like someone that Chris also doesn't like, who still doesn't play in EC?
