I totally, completely disagree with this happening now. A couple of days before, maybe. But now, when QCP and Zoners were starting to work out the RP details to this... The RP solution for Zoners thread was going the right way as well. Also, as Ben said only a few people got extremely offended, which also makes me laugh in a way considering that they took this personally from the start, when this whole situation was in fact justified RP!
Of course it should have been known that the admins would shut this down at the very eve of the problem's end, it's just how it goes I guess... might as well just give the juggies and corvos and zoner whales admin shields and be done with it. I'd have thought there would be more sense at work here...
