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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Well this is the person who allegedly used a sock account to harass themselves.

Regardless I don't hold grudges, and if they're becoming woke/redpilled to this shit I really don't care how wrong they were before, especially when they're agreeing with me now. I will keep them at a distance due to their past actions, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt, as anything else just enforces the insipid partisan divide. And what's the worse that could happen? They're already being attacked by their 'allies' for siding with the 'enemy', and they can't engage in these tactics anymore without outing themselves as a hypocrite.

This is what's required when you follow principles rather than people.

That's all well and good, but I'd personally not want to deal with the scorpion and the frog in Real Life.

  I am of a different mind regarding the grudges and these people.  Like the old saying when someone tells you who they really are, believe them.    We are a decade away from grudges coming out really ugly though and the faster people like Wu just disappear the better.  Because I think in a decade people like that might be hanging from lamp posts.

Yes, Brianna was on of the invaders that was using sock puppets to create an artificial narrative of harassment and got caught.  What's worse, Brianna was one of the inquisitors that was selecting targets for cancellation and was quick to lay out false accusations to ruin people's lives.

No matter how many times people like Wu have been caught faking this stuff, many people never seem to become any more skeptical of such claims.  Claims of death threats or harassment are still taken at face value coming from these people even though they have been caught lying about this stuff in the past.

  I take anyone saying they got a death threat on the internet as complete drama queen BS.  I have been around and lived with people who got real death threats and there is a world of difference in someone shitposting in the internet and a legitimate death threat.

Does anyone on the internet not get a death threat? I got one because I held the opinion that a certain baseball player wasn't particularly good, just because he had 3/4 of a good season in his 5 year career.
