I think Mexk is trying to be helpful, inasmuch as defending such a ludicrous double-standard can be. After all, he could simply have locked the thread and avoided getting involved.
It is worth noting that the argument presented is not merely weak, it is actively poisonous.
In arguing that the reason that only threads about that particular cancer are allowed is because it is already so well publicised, you crowd out the many other cancers that could use the publicity. There is only so much oxygen and such reasoning (and the enforcement thereof) forces such publicity as there is into an area that is already saturated.
Maybe you should change your sig Mexk. There is no way your position on this could conceivably be seen as 'standing up for what is right'.
I suppose that 'Standing up for arbitrary, hypocritical dogma' doesn't scan nearly as well.
Oh well.
Given the size of the FMod team, it is statistically very likely that one or more of them will end up with cancer of one sort or another.
Let us hope it is a type of cancer that Jagex deems fashionable enough to be discussed.
I'm not saying this to be mean - rather to point out that this isn't an abstract problem. Cancer is far from uncommon. There will be people on these forums with other cancers. I doubt this attitude will be of much comfort to them.
