Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I was born in '89 but spent the majority of school years until I was 12 or so living in Mexico. The original Dragon Ball was a massive cultural touchstone among my friends. Most days were spent wandering around a beach and/or jungle. The village only ran the generator for power in the evenings.
In the summer I lived thirty miles into a fuckoff massive forest and spent my days watching the Discovery Channel, wandering around the forest, or playing with my all of one friend who lived thirty miles further in. We spent most of our time hitting each other with sticks.
So I guess what I'm saying is the 90's were pretty cool.

I was born in '89 and I didn't get any of this cool poo poo.

So Mearls has decided that SA is persona non grata when it comes to claims made against contributors of D&D next.

Edit: Damnit. I loving wish there was at this point though.

I mean it's basically 3.5 but with a few minor changes, which is not anything I'd ever be looking to play again anyway. It's just all this shittiness makes the decision to avoid it even easier.

From some of their tweets I've read I'm pretty sure they're pals after working together, so I have to assume there was a less than 0 chance anything would happen on the credited consultants front unless Zak was literally going to jail.

Now let's be fair, the guy who cyberstalks and harasses individuals who upset him or tries to organise Google bombing campaigns when forums won't put up with his bullshit can probably recognise harassment campaigns when he sees them, he is an expert consultant after all.

Just want to be clear while I'm back: This is about how I feel about this. Also the word filter. I keep having weird conversations with RPGnet people who like my posts but want to know if there's a way around it because it's loving weird.

So I can see where he is coming from, but man, who hires Pundit and then worries about forums? :v:

So Mearls is basically willing to judge everyone who got harassed by Zak S and Tarnowski on the content of other people's posts, but won't judge Zak S and Tarnowski on the content of their own posts?

This is really the crux of the matter right here. Like, I can kinda sorta see how someone might go "Zak S harasses people? Really?" because I repeatedly moderated the guy and only after he got permabanned did I find out about the harassment and the lists and poo poo.

But the Pundit? Really? That guy is open with his shitheadedness. That's all he's got, there's no way to mistake him for anything but an rear end in a top hat.

Well, apparently he's willing to share the details of the emails he got with Zak and/or Pundit (can't remember which said that Mearls told him he was A-OK and received no proof of harassment) but gets upset when people in correspondence with him tell others what he said, so this isn't exactly surprising.

But yeah Mearls is an appalling human being.
