so locking a thread where people were disagreeing with you was reasonable, along with the rest of the carry on? people in glass houses sirCries of "Oh stop being so mean! Leave poor GW alone! " are not what I'd call reasoned debate.

if that is a dig at me, that thread (which you have no unlocked again) was the only one that had adult civil responses, it was all the toys out the pram threads I was objecting tooThadrin wrote:The thread was locked because someone complained about there being a zillion threads complaining...wonder who that was....
Hang on, I get shouted at in other threads for saying that boycotts of GW are pointless and in all likelihood just talk anyway, including a couple of snotty messages about how I'm GW's bitch, then all of a sudden it's "pointless"?Thadrin wrote:God forbid that the fans of the game be allowed to demonstrate their displeasure with the events of the last few weeks. Let's face it., voting with our wallets is not exactly going to be effective.
I'm mystified as to why normally sensible people have taken up the pitchforks and are storming the castle. Or rather many weeks afterwards are STILL storming the castle, camped outside.Whatever the legal intricacies are, I fail to see the problem with a united display of displeasure with the treatment the community has received in the last few weeks. GW may have been right, but they went about things in the most cack-handed and clumsy way they could.
I'm certainly mystified as to why normally sensible people should take offence at people wishing to do so.

I admit I may be wrong on this one, but surely the letter recipient should only have a need to fight a C&D request if they believe they are the actual owners of the IP?Thetian wrote:Fixed your post.Indigo wrote: Blanket IP renewal doesn't mean blanket C&D, just sites that infringe, or POTENTIALLY infringe, where in doubt GW will send a letter because the letter recipient can't afford the legal costs to fight it.

I've had plenty of time to get over the severe emotions of the past weeks and I still very much support the team naming for the Blood Bowl. Blizzard which is so much larger than GW can manage a more important IP and does it by actively encouraging fan support and fan websites (and they openly state on their website that they encourage this and the rules for doing so). When folks like Indigo say they HAVE to do it to protect their IP he's just wrong. So its not childish as Indigo suggested to peacefully protest the fact that GW choose the sledgehammer and dagger instead of the carrot to approach the last 2 months.rodders wrote:i for one like the idea of Galak named teams to get the recognision you deserve at the very least for your hard work as well as doubleskulls babs and geggster
After talking to Indigo by PM ... he had key misunderstanding of the last 5 weeks. So you walk into the bar after a big game loss and yell "Manchester sucks" ... are you really surprised that someone takes a swing at you? (especially when you don't know the facts and speak from a position of ignorance???) Seriously?The very worst of it all is fellow forum members whom i once respected sending derrogitory and foul pms to other forums members who do not share thier view!!!
