While this particular situation seems at first glance, (and without complete details of the scenario involved), to be unfair to the Matties family, I also think it is a mistake to use the incident as an opportunity to roundly criticize the attempts of TRPB to police the game. Comments that say the game has a tarnished image and actions like this make it worse seem incongruent. Unless you want state/federal government interfearing in the management of the game even more, the work of TRPB and ARCI needs to be supported. The same people carrying on about 'past posting' would do well to more widely support the work of TRPB/ARCI. They're the ones working hardest to 'get it right'.

Okay fair enough but don't you think giving interviews to DRF about this is a bit over the top. DRF would have never run with this if they didn't have someone feeding them info that they could defend in court if brought there. If you need to take an action like this do it quietly don't go public.

And Yes Deb I would excuse them from my affairs but wouldn't do so through the Washington Post.....
