in true form ala Don don Quixote

Granted the guy running the convention posted one of the most tactless, undiplomatic posts to showcase his convention. That or have zero social skills. Yet in very predictable fashion the thought police over at the TPP have acted like they usually do. This time it's not even the mods.

I would probably never go to the convention yet seeing a small group trying to destroy the con is sad as well. It's like they think if they try to guilt trip someone it will make his or her change their mind. The guy running the con so far refuses to be intimidated, sticking to his guns and willing to go somewhere else. It's like some on TPP can't handle, let alone understand that someone does think like they do.

People here sure are obsessed with the fools over there. Why don't you try posting sbout RPGs once in a while instead of constantly axe-grinding about politics?

I kind of wonder what the point of visiting that site is when you already know what they're like as they are nothing if not predictable. Is it to be offended that they're offended?

Exactly, all part of the outrage culture the net seems to thrive on. And do we really need two threads about this internet drama?

They try to pass themselves off as some kind of bastion of morality for rpgers in general. Instead coming off as  hypocrites in the purest form. So why not show others here and elsewhere. Second the thread title is very clear. No one is forcing anyone to read this thread.

Lastly it's a duplicate thread and with one being in Pundits forum. I asked him to delete this one.

It's an easy target as the organiser sounds pretty tone deaf to concerns. He's pretty shitty at PR.

Wouldn't a woman have a lot more to fear at a convention from Black_Matt an accused rapist, then Frank Mentzer, an awkwardly creepy tweeter?

I am closing the thread as being a duplicate thread of a topic that belongs in the Pundit's forum. Please direct all replies to this thread. I copied all the post from this thread over to that thread.
