You want to inject the morally questionable into the ruling conditions of participation and Blizzards actions. I clarified, i clearly asked you if it's morally objectionable when it says "NO politics!". You replied by insisting reading meaning into my comment that isn't there. You didn't pose a question, you want to insist the rules Blizzard installed are morally objectionable, which they clearly are not. I clarified why and you don't like that, since you got nothing to counter.

The irony, you yourself, all this stir up give even more reason why politics have no place at an apolitically marked event. Many gamers see it the same way, want to keep it clean and neutral fun. Alas, others insist being dicks about it and force their shit down peoples throats, insinuating whoever isn't on their side is "anti human rights". That is the morally objectionable here.

I never suggested anything to do with Blizzard. You stated that people should follow rules without question and I called you out on it. Luckily the majority of people have abandoned your outdated way of thinking and left it in the dark ages, where it belongs.

You're talking nonsense. What is the topic of the thread and what is included in my post you've quoted? You've even put it in bold.

It's... understandable? The rational and dry: Are there clear guidelines / rules what doesnt go and what the penalties are? If there are and the now banned player was aware of the consequences then Blizzard did nothing wrong.


The "don't you guys have phones" on the other hand made me... emotional. Really emotional. I am not a fan of any Blizzard IP.

Really? So you'd follow rules/guidelines even if they're morally objectionable?

I was clearly commenting on the subject and nothing else. Why would i make it wildly off-topic?

Would it be morally objectionable if it simply says "No Politics!". And it looks like the rules do exactly say that.

Had they suspended him for being politically active outside of any blizzard event, then there would be something very wrong.

The way you worded your post sounded like you thought that generally. So, do you? Do you think that rules should be followed without question regardless of the content of said rules?

How did you come to the conclusion i suggest following morally questionable rules/guidelines generally in the first place is a mystery. Where does it say that, where do i imply that? Point it out and explain yourself or continue make things up in your attempt to somehow end up being right.

Blizzard are very much in the wrong as far as I'm concerned. Censorship is bad in all forms. But when it comes from an oppresive government regime it's even worse!

You started by asking me if i think rules should be followed without question regardless of morallity. And i'm suppose to give what answer to that? For example: "I think rules should be followed, always. When it says shoot the POW then i will happily oblige to make him dead. No matter the circumstances. Even if it makes me a war criminal".

Yes, that is the stupidity of your question i've dodged. Do you have any more nonsense you want to ask me? Like, since i occasionally attend birthday parties, if i celebrate Hitlers birthday?
