Some of the forum posts around this are interesting though, for instance I saw one bit accusing Blizzard of advertising Christian guilds, but then when I looked that up, I saw the bit about someone being afraid they too were getting pounced on.<BR/><BR/>And precisely - I don't think an online company can ever insure that the gameplay will be 100% harrassment free, but by disallowing guilds to try and form safe havens from those likely to be harrassed ... well, that's just making the matter worse. It's clearly a counterproductive policy.<BR/><BR/>Not sure about the rebate, but you can sure tell them why you're cancelling (if you ended up doing so).Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-1138636079753139702006-01-30T07:47:00.000-08:002006-01-30T07:47:00.000-08:00Are they serious???

There shouldn't be any problems with forming gay-friendly guilds. Hell, with the irrational, rampant, and immature homophobia ocurring in-game, I would think that some people would welcome being in a guild where they aren't insulted on the basis of whom they are attracted to. I feel compelled to say something. This is totally out of order. Oh, and of course this had to happen just after I paid subscription fees. I don't suppose I could get a refund on the basis of discriminatory mandates, could I? Doh.Brinstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960618603471518290noreply@blogger.com
