Since the late 90s I have been a member of the DCI an organization that organizes and runs tournaments for a game called Magic The Gathering. This game and organization is owned by Wizards of the Coast who make D&D another game I play. So I have been purchasing products from this company for over 10 years, and I have never had cause to question its integrity.
Today I heard about a story that makes me proud of this fact and makes me want to support this company even more.

The guys typing is terrible but the basic thread of the story is he is from France and on a French forum he posted a joke that he was going to rape an employee of Wizards of the Coast, a specific employee.
Wizards saw this somehow and has banned him for life from all DCI events.
his response:
To this I say this isn't a cultural difference, this is you not understanding the difference between asking for sex and rape. I've never been there but I have a feeling Rape isn't a good thing in France.
Further they are not banning you for making a joke but for breaking rules they've specifically put in a rulebook and you had access to this.(this is also in response to some of the commenters) Honestly if you had had any class you wouldn't have said that, but if you've gained any class you would make a full public apology with much better typing than I've seen here.

i clearly understand the difference between our cultures now, i m not saying any of them is the best, but in eurpoe we have president inviting girls to sexual parties on camera and this doesn t make much noise.
I understand the post the the people who say it can never be a joke, that s how you grew up, i recently started working in an american company and we had a whole course on sexual harassing, something you dont even hear of in france.
