Two very different, but equally valid, points of view... But what to do?
It least we can thank Shallara for pointing out (in TTLanhils words "educating (players)") this particular issue.
Despite any differences on how to tackle this, let us hope that people are now more aware and a little more likely to speak out against it (whether directly to the char/player or by way of #abuse), if they are so inclined.
