You say its a farce. Dont know why you would say that and what basis you have for knowing that for a fact? It isnt for you or anyone else to attempt to read between the lines, you should take it at face value. I'm surpirsed at you stance on this as a person whose opinion I respect and as a mod. http://www.frasermillward.com/apps/blog/eurogamer-expo-2013-joint-statement-from-laura Never used, "it", "he" or "thing" Her performance during the whole episode was actually pretty bad, putting her number out there omn twitter when she made the original complaint and then complaining for people harrassing her... she was all over the place.

1) Now your just being pedantic to try and win a point. He was representing microsoft as a presenter. They were specifically paying him for his words.
2) Seeing enough PR? If you weren't so agitated in this thread i'd be shocked if you didn't agree with me... as you've seen the same PR stuff over and over again and called out the fairly obvious farces. I mean seriously, read the thing... you linked it.
... and yeah, people tend to get upset and be all over the place when they've had their core identites insulted. Calling out a victims state of mind after an incident? I'd think you'd be above that kind of blaming the victim thing.
The fact that she was all over the place is if anything, proof that it wasn't made up or a lie.
Though I don't see how being upset that bringing up such an issue gets you death threats, and other verbal abuse and threats of violence counts as "being all over the place." so much as... being pissed that dumbasses are being dumbasses.and tell me if you feel the same way.
If you end up feeling the same way a week from now I'll be very disapointed, as I also resepect your opinions on most things... espeically when you don't get dragged down into a lot of the "not really moderatable but people are being jerks" type of arguements that always devolve until someone goes over the line and gets banned like it's forum chicken or something.
Outside which, if you think something should be modded, report it. I don't know if it's just me, but I generally try and avoid modderating in threads i've posted in to a serious degree unless there are no other mods online and things really linger. Seems like bad ettiquite to me.
