Reading the responses in this thread vs. the responses in the Giant Bomb thread is incredibly eyeraising. They couldn't be more different in terms of how the communities viewed the people involved.

For the record, my best wishes to all the individuals who got laid off. I can only imagine how badly that sucks right now and I knew several of them personally from years on the site and from working with them from my time as a moderator. I may not have always agreed 100% of the time with any single one of them on any particular issue, but they all knew that such disagreements were to be expected.

Good luck to all of you.

I thought bandodgers didnt get these threads. Or was that suiciders?Capitan_Kid

You can't be nice and have a temper.

You know a lot of nice people with tempers that are prominent enough in their behavior that you have to mention it?

jim, uniform liability is my goal, and when you do harm to an area in perpetuity forever, you are liable. sadly some, maybe you, idunno, would call for you and i to pay for the political decisions of those elected. i wish for those elected to be held accountable for their actions be it at home of in foreign lands. i see the lack of liability as the ultimate cause of all of the ills of the world on any meaningful scale. what i mean is that politicians have zero liability for their actions. you cant know the harm until action and at that point people tend to blame the next guy or something else. surrealnumber5

You do yourself and your cause absolutely no favors, you are one of the reasons why many of the people here are liberals.

On topic: After reading the politico article it sounds like you have no fvcking clue what you are talking about.
