Guys, this is not the place for Real-World Political debates. I'm trying to keep this thread open, for the discussion about the topic, but please keep it on that topic alone.
Also, let's cool off the direct insults as well, please.
Thanks all! Scorpyon
As for Blizzard, this site doesn't exist in a bubble outside of real live. This very fact is proven by the Blitzchung controversy. You as Blizzard did to Blitzchung can pull 'rules and regulations', but no politics was discussed. Only references were made to actual persons, functions and the effects that it has on large crowds. That they are in politics is irrelevant. What I was referring to is manipulation of large crowds through the dissimination of fear, misinformation or harsh power politics.

I'm pretty sure I did neither; and I certainly didn't ban or punish anyone either. So your comparison is strange at best. However, when you bring Trump into a conversation (regardless of intent), it is going to provoke a reaction based on his relevance to current politics, culture and current events. This is what I wish to avoid. Thanks.

If bringing Trump into the conversation will provoke reactions you do not want, what does that say about the community at large? Not being able to discern what is said? Maybe that's why Blizzard needs to be that harsh as the crowd is too irrational.

That's such a terrible statement, dude... I'm going to avoid the part about Donald Trump as I promised Scorpyon.
No matter how rational or irrational someone is, no one has the right to be that harsh with others. You seem to value intelligence above all else, which speaks volumes about your persona. But I'm not here to talk about you either, I'm just gonna say authoritarianism is not justified in any way and there is much more in people than their ability to reason, whatever you like it or not. ;)
