I mean, either you believe that allegations of infractions should be discussed/vetted/defended publicly or you don't, right?
How quickly people forget what the Blitz case turned into. A major flame fest, with little info being given past page 1 or 2. More people tossing opinions and ideas to what happened than facts. Lead to the thread getting locked and nuclear winter.
Just think if the OJ Simpson case had been a total public case with anybody being able to toss opinions and question the accused in court? It surely would have been 10x longer and lots of non evidence tossed in. Point I am making is no matter if the perfect defense had been put up someone will always try to find a way to slander / sway these high profile cases. While this case is much less high profile than the other case vs Josko, a defense can be put out easy for this one. The other defense took a lot longer to come up with. Personally I think you will surely see a decline in cases put into the public or at least defensed in the public after the blitz spectacle. I mean lets face it. Blitz got a month long ban for putting jobiwan into 3 games, 2 of which he dropped. That was the only rule broken. I am a strong believer in the mods giving into public demand on that case, and giving him punishment for not taking jobiwan's turns in many games. Per the rules that was not punishable, but the public demanded it, thus a ruling was handed down. Had blitz posted in private his defense, it would have been far less of a spectacle and likely a lesser penalty.
To End this I am not saying what the mods will say about Josko, but I do know if I ever had a C&A vs me come up I would never post in public, no matter how innocent I am.
