Okay... Mike Mearls...
Not happy with what he did back in 2014. Bad move. A very bad move.

But WotC ended up doing the right thing and cut ties with ZS well before a lot of other people in the industry.
Obviously, they can't say more for legal reasons.
At the end of the day, I believe in second chances.

I believe people shouldn't be defined by one mistake but what they learned from that mistake, and how they move forward. What they do after.
There's also so many awesome people working for D&D.
I don't feel comfortable burning D&D and WotC for Mearls doing a boneheaded thing five years ago.

Because that's saying cool people like Jeremy Crawford, Wes Schneider, and Dan Dillon are equally bad for working w/ Mearls.
I have to trust that their continuing to work for WotC means they're comfortable with Mearls and have accepted whatever private punishment/ reprimand was handed out that we haven't seen.
I trust them so I'll trust WotC and D&D.
Party me also wonders where the line is between justice and revenge.

Mearls has been driven off twitter. He probably can't go to any gaming convention again. Including the D&D Live events. That's unlikely to change even if he is fired.
When will he have paid for his actions?
When he's jobless and loses his healthcare in the middle of a pandemic during the worst economic crisis of the last 90 years?
When he's untouchable by every other company in the only industry he's ever been involved in for his entire adult life?
