I'm sorry, I missed something here (I got here from the BW twitter feed). What exactly was said about miss Hepler that warranted this response?

Yeah, seriously. How do I know this isn't just another publicity stunt?

Let's keep this sort of thing out of the thread, shall we?

You guys are making this way too complicated. This issue is actually quite simple. It's okay for Bioware employees like Flynn and Hepler to insult their customers. To call them morons and imply they are virgins for example. There's nothing unprofessional or childish about that. However, for the fans to insult them is grounds for a permanant ban and completely unacceptable. End of discussion. End of line.

It's rather simpler than that, actually. A fellow employee of BioWare was harassed and insulted for months on end and, when it 'blew up', reacted in an entirely human and understandable fashion. I'm sorry that this is causing problems for you, but this isn't a moral grey area. We support our employee, and if you think that responding emotionally after months and months of abuse is on the same level as being one of the participants in that same abuse, than we have vastly different ideas as to what constitutes acceptable interpersonal conduct.
