Wrongdoing? How can there be wrongdoing in a game/forum devoted to the worst parts of the Interwebz?

Wouldn’t that be the kind of meta-recursion that swallows the universe whole?

This is a game. An online roleplaying game. For those who don’t realize it, there are roleplaying games that are played IN PERSON with REAL LIVE PEOPLE! You need to know this to follow the analogy I’m about to make.

Let’s say you’re playing a roleplaying game with a group of people In Real Life. We’ll use Dungeons and Dragons, because I’ll wager you (yes, I’m talking to YOU now) have at least heard of it. You’re playing a fighter with a big sword. It says so right on your character sheet! Someone else is playing a cleric. You decide to decapitate the cleric, for whatever reason. If you’re a sane gamer, you do this by declaring your action and rolling your dice. If you’re a total male reproductive organ, you take a swing at the cleric’s player with your real sword.

Dante Kinkade is a -character- on Forumwarz. Attacking him in the game is a perfectly valid thing to do. Attacking his player with Real World weapons (in this case, information he posted outside the game)? That’s just being a male reproductive organ.

I applaud the decision to put a stop to such male reproductive organery.
