So, you get in front of it. Not try to play catch-up like we have seen multiple times since the Hopacolypse. SCV fires people. Often. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsbrunner Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Continental said: SCV fires people. Often. This. I’d be surprised if SCV as an organization said anything about this current issue. Their MO has always been to be as tight-lipped on everything as possible, whether that’s show announcements, an important staff member leaving suddenly, or anything else especially internal. It’s up for debate whether some or any of those things should be talked about publicly, for me it depends largely on the situation. My bet is they’ll take the “don’t talk about it and it’ll go away eventually” approach for this one.

Nothing except an original post from the poster and a link to the member concerned. Also, the many comments on his FB post. DCP loves a controversy. This website has been driven to the level of TMZ. Time and time again. This is the world we live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
