Pinning this as an example “PC Culture” is wildly reductionist

While not everyone involved has bad intentions — I think ESocial is sincere and the most sympathetic of the Anti-BSH crowd — I have serious reservations about the recent wave of vigilantism. I cannot help but see this as happening only because of preexisting sentiments; this situation reeks of individuals using horrifically disproportionate tactics to exploit an opportunity.
To be clear, what BSH did was wildly inappropriate and I have no qualms saying that he was right to resign and remove himself from the community. He should not return, nor should he be defended for his actions, but nor too should his actions be attacked in the wrong way. This stance is a principled one — one that makes no exceptions for others who I feel are also toxic and detrimental to the site and its members — which is why the distinct lack of principled stances is so troubling.
A witch hunt that, incidentally, throws a witch in the river should not be celebrated. This is no victory, nothing to be proud of, nothing to revel about, no justice, precisely because justice was never the aim. Rather, the aim was to settle petty political and personal grievances by propagandising and weaponising genuine concerns, twisting them until they broke clean off from any truthful moral grounding so as to fashion them into swords.
Jacques Lacan claimed that, even if a jealous husband's claim about his wife – that she sleeps around with other men – is true, his jealousy is still pathological. Why? The true question is “not is his jealousy well-grounded?”, but “why does he need jealousy to maintain his self-identity?”
All around, this is a community at its most toxic, and I am most disgusted by the veneer of righteousness affected by some. I hope everyone involved examines the reason they played the role they did.

I’m interested in a reunion sometime soon [the next few weeks], giving it’s summertime; if you’re interested, please reach out to anyone you know who may be interested, and let me know if you have any timing preferences.
Having direct lines is vital. ANYONE READING THIS: PLEASE provide me an email address or some alternate form of communication (off-site) " it would allow me to organise hangouts and such.

We’re going to hopefully have a slew of old members, some of whom I haven’t spoken to in years. I think it’ll be a packed house.
10:00PM EST is the official start time, but I’m going to post a link a bit before to get people situated.
Your presence would be appreciated, RM! Unblock me!

DDO was NOT brought into its Golden Age by Juggle. It happened in spite of them. 90% of companies could have done better.

"Trouble for the mods" is not something worth considering unless the change would end moderation. BSH signed up for this, Virtuoso signed up for this, Mike signed up for this. Unless they're going to quit if reporting becomes anonymous -- and unless they're irreplaceable -- who cares.

BSH1 takes great joy in tampering with exercises of democracy, so, as a gift for him, I encourage all to run as many elections, referendums, polls, &c, so he can ignore the results.
This is a formal vote. You may vote for A or B. Please bold your votes.
The voting ends at an ambiguous time in the future (to be decided at BSH1’s whim).
Vote Count:
A: 0 (Null)
B: 0 (Null)
