Skype does not equal wikia. What happened was entirely seperate from this portion of the community and should have never been melded in here. The intentions behind this regulation is understandable but it's basically accepting the childish OOC drama that goes on between two parties in completely seperate programs.

If the harrassment, discrimation and whatnot continued into this wikia, ban them without relent because you have my 100% support and the support of many others in that decision, but over a private conversation? It's a bit illogical and even brings up a freedom of speech controversy.

The way the whole Stromheart situation was handle, well, it does come off to a lot of minds as being incredibly bias'd and influenced by various third parties. I don't care about Strom, I think what he did/said was incredibly childish and the heat he received was well deserved. The issue is, you're going to have to punish more individuals than just Stromheart if you want to come off as being fair and just in this current system.

Bottom line, making a rule like this means you're acknowledging and approving a fine majority of the drama that occurs on MG, a major thing that many people want to avoid getting invovled with.
