A Note that doesn't apply to 90% of you!

Hey guys!

I posted below an email I have sent out to the ST list of OWBN.  For most of you, you can ignore this!

Just wanted to give you all a heads up!

Hello everyone,
For many years now I have watched, listened, and tolerated the existence of One World by Night Uncensored. I have finally reached my limit with this.
There have been cries of free speech and all the usual "Voice of Voicless" stuff said over the many years now.  I don't care anymore.  I'm not going to argue or debate over the internet over the "right" of things like One World by Night Uncensored to exist.  The fact is it's toxic, negative, full of rumor mongering and down right hurts our organization.  
Enough is Enough.  It is time for people to grow up and act like adults this game is made for.  There are ways to address concerns and issues with something like a calm rationale adult.  The means by which this is done on One World by Night Uncensored should NOT be tolerated by anyone.  Period.  End of argument.  How many coords, sts, players, events, must me lose because we allow behavior like this to persist? 
Well I for one have had enough.
From this date, all Kings of New York and Boston: Cradle of Liberty players have two weeks to leave One World by Night Uncensored if they are members of this Facebook group.  If they do not, their characters will be GNCed by the staff and the players will be banned from these games.  As per a violation of our games Mission Statement/Code of Conduct (pasted below).
I really wish it didn't have to come to this.  I really wish we could all just go back to being adults and playing a silly game with our friends.  I really wish we could just abide by Wheaton's Law.  I really wish the org could do this on a whole and doesn't seem to have a limit on tolerance on this behavior.  The loss of Lizz the Demon coord was the last straw for me.
I encourage other games to follow suite.  We don't need a council vote.  We just need to stand up as the Storytellers and say This will no longer be tolerated and it is NOT acceptable to act this way.
Would you allow this behavior at your Physical game?  No? Why do you allow it on the internet?
