I understand where this is coming from, but others might not, so it might be helpful to at least post a link to that email dump (or a web-archived if necessary). But I agree, Kuchera was acting unreasonably, and I haven't really liked him since he condescendingly shut down comments on an article about anita sarkeesian's first tropes video, but Tito has earned even more kudos from me.Jack T.

Tito stood up for what he saw as free speech, even though he considered the topic distasteful.
Thank you, mr Tito, for refusing to bow to pressure and allowing conversations to take place.
Completely agree and also wish to thank him.Jack T.

As someone who has not been following this whole controversy that closely could you provide me with a link to these messages? Finding stuff in those massive threads is really difficult.Thanatos2k said:The leaked messages have done nothing but paint Tito as someone with some actual damn integrity, refusing to be bullied by the likes of Kuchera and others who would deny people the right to discuss something merely because they dislike what they're saying.
Tito dug himself a hole with the whole "We cared more about the agenda than the facts" but has heroically climbed out of it while his journalist bretheren are still digging their way to China. The Escapist is one of the few bastions left that appears concerned with ethics.

OT: I'll say thank you to Greg Tito, Archon and the rest of the Escapist team and moderators for how they've conducted themselves in the midst of this massive shitstorm. I've seen nothing but professionalism from you guys, kudos.
