Actually, this is the first I've heard of this.
I stand behind the community 100%, as I always have. I'm surprised, and kind of interested to see my name on wizards.com - that's kind of impressive. Like I said, I just read it myself.
Everything we do in the Rumor Mill, as we have always done, is find and discuss rumours. I'd like to know who these "John Doe" people are, though! And exactly how WotC thinks the Rumor Mill is so illegal. And no information I (or Seds, or Hydro, or numerous other people) passed on to the Rumor Mill was ever obtained illegally.
I'm not worried.
We aren't supporting boycotts, hate mailings, or other forms of protest along these lines.
The best way to let your voice be heard is probably this:
Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
PO Box 707
Renton, WA 98057
Snail Mail WoTC with your INTELLIGENT, COHERENT thoughts on this issue.
Also, please don't PM, email, or IM rancored_elf to simply express your concern, as he's quite swamped as it is... he appreciates everyone's support and advice and is reading the Rumor Mill thread discussing the issue.
