    Read that in the paper the other day, and was agreeing about the boycott, but, then realised, don't people have the right to refuse service for any reason any more? And, as long as the vicars pass on the wedding to another vicar (unlike that other bovine), what's the problem?

    Isn't being forced to marry someone you don't agree with just as bad? o_O

    The next Aliens movie (the sequel to Prometheus) has started filming in Fiordland :D

    I think it's all the same thing though really. It's not so much about "forcing" it's just about cause and effect. It's saying they have the right to refuse if they want, but it will lead to other groups and organizations turning around and invoking their right to refuse them for refusing someone else.

    I'd argue that enshrining it in law is the real problem.

    There is a very, very fine line between fighting discrimination and forcing people to conform to your world view though.

    Discrimination based on sexual preference, race, gender, religion etc. is abhorrent. Removing peoples right to say "no, I refuse to do something that conflicts with my personal beliefs" is also abhorrent.

    A case and point would be the cake baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Do I agree with his decision? No. Should he be forced to make the cake? No...but he will have to deal with the repercussions of his decision.

    Should a religious organisation be forced to conduct a marriage ceremony that conflicts with their religion? Hell no. Conversely, should a government department be able to refuse a marriage certificate based on the religious beliefs of a specific employee? Good grief....how could anybody say yes?

    It's a complex issue, and I'm not articulate enough to do it justice.

    EDIT: Given the context of your post I thought i'd make it clear that I mean you articulated your opinion very well and have done the subject the justice it deserves.

    BTW, if you don't mind me asking, DV & Bareheiny, they was recently a referendum in New Zealand regarding whether or not to keep the current flag.....I believe you decided to keep the current flag anyway.......but upon hearing the news story I immediately thought of you two. If you don't mind me asking, did you care? have any opinions/preferences? care to share?

    "I’ve just been perma-banned from DC Universe Online for the crime of disagreeing with them, and asking for an apology almost a year ago."

    "To understand this, we have to go back in history to June 13, 2014. I was livestreaming when Ted “Mepps” Stewn decided to add some “fun” into my livestream. Basicaly, he broke his own “Terms of Service” by harrassing me in world, dropping enemies on me and repeatedly killing me. I thought it was a bug, until he admitted it to me in world chat."

    "I should mention, there are a TON of videos of Mepps doing this to other livestreamers. In all the other cases, they fall all over themselves once they realized they were being trolled by Mepps. I’m guessing he was expecting the same reaction from me, and I’m not going to fanboy over his presence. Besides, he had once already peeked into my livestream before, and did not interfere, so I know he’s capable of keeping his hands to himself."

    "I didn’t appreciate this, so I pursued it. I went to the BBB (waste of time, they never side with the customer), I went to Sony Online, I went up the chain of command and eventually got in touch with Linda “Brasse” Carlson, Director, Global Community Relations for Sony Online Entertainment. She assured me of a few things, one of which being that Ted (Mepps) actions were considered acceptable and appropriate by SoE, I was the only streamer who did not enjoy being trolled by the SoE staff, and that his actions were “meant to enhance the excitement surrounding the livestream.”

    I'm not sure how I would feel for a developer to "enhance the excitement" when I am playing. The game by it'self is enhanced enough. That's why I play it.
    Tho I would also not go through the same amount of trouble this guy did over it.
    Id probably assume the game was glitched and just zone/log out.

    *EDIT*
    I would also use spellcheck before writing a long dissertation to post on tumblr.......lot of typos.

    It was a massive waste of money.

    And the potential new flag was horrible. It looked like a corporate logo.

    The first referendum was to chose the challenger....at least three of the options were the same, just with different colours.

    I'm not adverse to a new flag....but give us some real choices before blowing millions on a vote with a (pretty much) preordained outcome.
