slightly off topic. but sort of important.

gosh you're right

hurry everybody let's get back to talking about elves rather than shit that matters

This shit matters? So you think discussing it here will what, raise people's awareness? Or do you think discussing it here will actually change something? You're just frustrated about it and spam several forums to vent your anger, that's all there is to it. Nothing good will come of this. Don't get me wrong, not much bad will come from it either. Nothing will really come of it, and that's my point, posting this here is useless.

The reason political and religious threads aren't allowed is simlpe, because players will get in a heated debate and it will always, inevitably, lead to flame, insults and hitler-comparisons. If they wanted us to talk about that stuff, they'd have an off-topic forum, but they don't. This simply isn't the right place to discuss it.

ITT: Censoring American internet access isn't related to Americans who play a game run on non-American servers.

Um.. yes? Or wait, does your logic say that we should discuss cancer research here, because people playing FFXI can get cancer too, so it's for the sake of the FFXI playerbase?

This has nothing at all to do with FFXI. I don't even see why people feel a need to discuss it here. What do you think will come of it? Tell me seriously, because I can't possibly follow that train of thought. Or are you just looking at another place to vent, because I believe that's all there is to it. You're raging and wanna make sure that everyone knows about it.
