Alex is verbose, and you owe it to yourself (and the rest of us) to read the statement in its entirety. Remember, when making comments/claims to provide proper evidence, facts etc. Arguments based on incorrect assumptions, facts and straw men, will be dealt with swiftly. If in doubt, PM a mod or ask IRC. Do NOT spread misinformation, when in doubt, check your sources.

They can't. Scoots already said on I believe on LO3 that EG can't work with orb again, that he hopes someone else will give him a 2nd chance because EG won't be able to. Besides how can you even think of orb when now you get to see awesome casting duos like demuslim and machine?
This is clearly a cultural minefield and while derogatory comments should never be encouraged, I think this has taken a life on its own and is subject to a great deal of overreaction from EG and the community.

In a case that revolves around what usually would be called "progressive thinking" (though I dislike the term, as I find it absurd and relative), issuing any kind of irreversible punishment is disturbing. The whole premise of overcoming any kind of bigotry and segregation is the belief in the human ability to adapt, change, evolve and not be set in stone by the past. In view of this, I find it disheartening to see doors being closed forever, for anyone, even for a murderer, let alone for a verbal abuser. That's not a sign of purity of principles, but rather a sign of fear and weakness. It took me some time to realize what was it that I found so subtly disturbing in EG's official position, and then I realized it was this.
Very good post, and very true indeed.
Exactly my thought, you put it together and expressed it much better than I could have, so kudos to you, sir!
