Today we were given the headline:
DoS Attacks Threatened by Retro Members; Admin Calls for Boycott
____________________
I'm Initially thought that the piece would be about:
To sum up our feelings - We Quote Svend Joscelyne of The Sonic Stadium:
...As I?ve said countless times before, if you?re going to apply ?real world journalism? values to an Internet community (one that thrives on sharing and discussing from one website to another) then this is what you?re going to get. TSSZ can?t really complain about this outcome when it was inferred a million times that this was the road they were going to be driving down....
...Personally, I think the issue is not what is being posted, but how it?s being written. This story for example, I see nothing but propaganda in TSSZ? favour that is akin to something FOX News would do. Because Retro blacklisted you due to a very specific string of events, you can?t then assume that Retro are going to ban everyone who ?disagrees with the forum elite?. That?s an unbiased retaliation in itself, and given TSSZ?s stance shouldn?t be part of its agenda....
TSSZ Has gone out of its way to let everyone know it's being proactively banned from Sonic RETRO and refuses to give into the request for an "apology" on the grounds that they've done nothing wrong and that their Journalistic approach will only grow stronger.
It went so far as to call into question the 1st Amendment. Which applies only to Legal US Citizens, not those who might live around the world with access to the Internetz.
- And therefore reaffirms that the Internet is Serious Business.
TSSZ is now running a POLL asking (more or less) if people agree with TSSZ that the actions taken by Sonic RETRO should not have occurred.
- We urge everyone to VOTE NO and stick up for our community.
REMEMBER - It's not news, It's TSSZ News

- Retro Members Threatening TSSZ with DOS attacks
- TSSZ Denied Access to Sonic RETRO
