SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

TonyLB is on my ignore list, and he will remain there.
I noticed he posted directly after me several times now, just fair to let him know.
Although I made it Crystal ClearTM to him, when I made that decision.
Enough of that, back to topic:

It´s over, and I´m glad. We weathered the attacks of sickos, proselityzers and cultists better than I anticipated.

Yep!  You made it crystal clear that you wanted to use the Ignore List functionality to get a state where you could say whatever you wanted, and I would not get to respond.

Sadly, the ignore list functionality actually does the opposite.  When you implement it on someone you give them the ability to say whatever they want, and you do not get to respond.

'course, it doesn't matter directly to you, because you don't have to listen to what they say.  But if you're all "I'm going to persuade the other readers to my cause, huzzah!" then you pay for that blissful ignorance by leaving the field entirely open to other people.  It's one of the more elegant balances I've seen in the forum-technology world.
