Bree, you are a shining example of *everything* that is *wrong* with gaming "media"; and an example of precisely why your ilk are a dying breed. And once you've moved onto the last site left standing, there won't be anything else to jump to. Me? I'm pretty consistent. I'm not going anywhere. Ever. And NOBODY puts me under siege, and think they can get away with it.

FACTS:

1) I never made ANY rude comments to ANY bug reporters in LOD.

Here is my pledge, show me evidence of ONE SINGLE instance of that, I will donate $500 to your favorite charity for EACH instance of same.

In fact, let me help you by posting the link to the LOD Steam forums

2) I wasn't "flamewarring with people and shouting at your writers"

One of your "writers", Mike Foster, made a snide comment to which I responded and took him to task on Twitter. It was a very short exchange. In fact, there is NO evidence of ANY flamewarring in my social media feed.

Here is the entire exchange:

Here, let me up the ante...

Show me evidence of ONE SINGLE instance of that, I will donate an *additional* $500 to your favorite charity for EACH instance of same.

Again, in a bid to help you with this, here is my Twitter feed. Have at it. There are many search tools for Twitter. Pick one. Have fun.

3) What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. You in "media" aren't beyond reproach; and you simply can't expect to get away with your sensationalist bullshit at the expense of gamers, and game devs.

What do I gain with this exchange? Not much; just another game dev proving, once again, that most of you in "media" are primarily focused on pushing a sensationalist bullshit click-bait mongering narrative at the expense of your readers.

There is a reason that, in this current climate, most of us keep our liability insurance paid up.

And this is the announcement about this banning. I thought it was pretty clear.

As I've said before, and going back over two decades, the reason that some anti-social misfits get to do this shit they do, is because back when I was warning people that it would get out of hand if we didn't take a stand, nobody paid any attention because a mob wasn't pissing at their doorstep.

Then the Internet phenomenon exploded, and all of a sudden, we had a new breed of anti-social misfits.

So instead of the narrative being about BANNING this sort of bullshit from our gaming communities, you clowns make it about vilifying someone who is BRAVE enough to stand up and say ENOUGH!

I will simply never, ever allow it. If that makes me the bad guy, then so be it.
