Recently, we have been saddened and disappointed to see cases of online harassment online – directed both at fans and also at various people who work with us. We are particularly upset by this as we have always strived to nurture an atmosphere of kindness and inclusivity, even when there are difficult topics to discuss.
To be clear: we do not mean that we are upset by good faith criticism or disagreement, we mean that multiple people have been actively harmed by the intentional and targeted actions and words of others. ... more

And Rusty Quill hasn’t been immune to that, though we’ve done our best to keep putting out quality content. ... more
