Mat firmly believes that kind of posting reflects poorly on Two Plus Two Publising.

It's a very reasonable position and I expect Mat to back up whatever he says.

I diasgree with him, but it's a reasonable stance for him to take.

I agree, but it is a judgement call. We all joke around and I wonder if I've ever crossed any lines myself. Some of what is posted here is pretty bad though, and not only when it's toward women.

I just found it way back on page 17.

It seems he didn't lock it.

Maybe he understood it was just satire.

I apologize to the woman of OOT (gorie.)

That tread was stupid, the title was stupid and the poster who started it was stupid.

The more stupids that are banned, the better.

Fair enough. I just hope it doesn't go overboard. I am a very blunt and straight forward when I express an opinion or evaluate a situation. It is a method of speaking which i think the world would be much better off if more people adopt. (one of the reasons why I constantly reassure people they will not get banned for cussing me out)

If my very blunt language gets me in trouble it will be a sad day for freedom of speech. That being said, I wish Mat the best of luck as he has chosen a fine line to walk. A line that can easily, and probably will, be crossed. I do trust his judgement though and feel he will be reasonable.
