If you actually don’t understand why what you have posted is not appropriate here, then please PM me and I can explain in more detail.
Ah, I see, you are waving your moderator club. BTW, it's actually an axe, in case you haven't realizing it.

Ioci had already had a final caution, but as a fair warning to anyone else who needs it, after multiple moderator interventions I’m now going to operate a zero tolerance policy on this thread and any failure to engage constructively with each other or moderators may result in immediate suspension. And general political commentary, particularly that criticising those with different views, or putting forward your own theories of gender, will be considered not to be constructive.

If you are not confident in your ability to discuss this topic in a manner appropriate to an open forum operated by Larian for anyone and everyone interested in their games, then you may be better off avoiding it. But it is not my desire to shut down good faith and relevant debate, so if there is something you want to say but you are not sure if it’s appropriate, please feel free to PM me and I will give you a steer. Though I will say that if you’re already wondering whether you should say something then that’s probably an indication in itself that the answer may well be “no”.

Questions or concerns about moderator policy on this topic are welcome, but vague insinuations are not. If you have queries or challenges, please state them clearly and courteously and I or one of the other moderators will do our best to respond. If you want to play it safe, or you don’t have particular reason to want to raise your points publicly, again do PM me and we can talk privately.

And to avoid any further muddying of the waters, I’m now going to restrict myself to only posting in this thread as a moderator, despite the fact that the topic interests me as a fan and forum member. That means that I hope this is my final post here, though I will continue to follow the discussion with interest.
