We aren't 'witchhunting' anything. We're calling out a baseless and flaming attack on the author's character for no apparent reason by a respected figure in the Gameplay sphere. Comparing the author to literal doxxers and fascists is something that solidly falls in the territory of OOC attack and goes beyond the "I don't like the author" angle you're trying to prove.
Also, the only reason Liberate CCD is still a thing is because Jocospor and his little cult continues to whine about how they're "being stifled by the GP and WA elite" and have done nothing to disprove of the accusations against them, instead have reinforced people's feelings about it with their affiliations and their behavior. You're forgetting that Kaboomlandia couldn't get their Repeal Liberate CCD proposal to vote and they were a respected SC regular here. So no, that particular angle doesn't hold any water here. There is no witchhunt going on. We're just calling out August's comment because it absolutely deserves to be called out.
