If you don't know that, I don't see any point further debating this with you - it speaks volumes as to your ignorance of how things actually work. I will leave you with this:

It is one thing to quietly permit the backwards and harmful views of someone who does not seek to influence or control others - not necessarily a right thing, mind you. It is quite another to do the same with those who deliberately seek positions of influence and control, where those same views can potentially do actual harm - and that is what was done today with regards to Stromheart and Godfrey. You're absolute right regarding this applying to PEOPLE IN POWER IN THE REAL WORLD. But in a game? FFS. The game does not equal the real world, and GMs do not equal masters of the universe. In the game, people can just as easily quit the GM's guild and find another, if they don't like how the GM operates. It's as easy as that. No need to make a public statement about their idiocy. You can act with class and still make a point about their behaviour.
