Changes all the time, insanely difficult and therefore takes a lot of time to master, many ways to die. I started playing the open source version, but ended up buying the new version. Very addictive.
Clearly, saying that you don't like person X and person X can do Y to themselves is quite different to laughing at dead person D and glorifying act C that was done to person D to indeed make person D dead.
It seems to me that censorship is seen as an ultimate evil in the internet community and therefore we should throw the baby out with the bathwater, and not try to find a solution where unacceptable behaviour is handled in an appropriate manner. If a person said things like this in on another platform, he or she will face consequences, but due to the anonymous nature of the internet, most of these consequences are removed. This in my opinion needs to be rectified.
To prove my point, a high percentage of people in the slashdot community will disagree with me, and indeed even go so far as to flame me and dislike me based on my opinion, and by posting this comment anonymously, no one will be able to 'prosecute' me in the community, even though prosecution will consist of remembering my name and disregarding my future comments,
However, I will not do so, because one must be prepared to face the consequences. Which the cowardly person who created the site initially will not have to do.
So I'll end this post with a question, Why so little outcry about the coward who spewed his crap on the internet? Why is do we glorify the lawless and chastise the lawful?
