I fully agree with the notion of 'free speech' and in regards to the schism a specific third party incident is causing, never once did 'free speech' mean that everyone had to tolerate it. When a bakery in Indiana decided not to make a cake for the wedding of two women, that town decided to not give that bakery their business any longer. It's not illegal to do. For actions, there are reactions, and consequences.

It is my (third party) understanding that the Administrators as well as the Founder made a decision regarding a specific incident, and how the toxicity and negativity would affect this wikia, and the people who post here. What this new change in policy is saying to them, as well as those who are arguing its points is that the collective decision meant little to nothing to the Founder, who essentially has the final say. Policy was changed, posted, and put into place, fully disregarding the prior collective decision of the administration.

Putting the bakery back into the light - it would be as if the Mayor of that town putting forth legislation saying people of the town could no longer -not- give the bakery business because the media sensationalized a small incident that may or may not have been true.

For the couple who took their business elsewhere, it was true. For the 29 people in the chat session for which this third party incident/forum post occurred - it was true. Those administrators who are choosing to walk away from this wikia, I applaud you for having the backbone to stand up for what you believe in. For those users who walk away from this wikia because they too believe it's the right thing to do, I applaud you as well.

We all wish for good, strong, solid RP. We all wish for meaningful relationships to come from this RP. We all used this wiki to reinforce those relationships, and bonds.......

But when one person is allowed to take a dump in the community well, everyone gets Cholera unless they refuse to drink from it.
