I'd hoped it was apparent that it was a paraphrase, but alas it really
quite clearly wasn't.
In any event, the exact quote is now well and truly lost as it's =
scrolled off the official EQ message boards about 5 months ago.
In essence, John Smedly posted saying that they had over reacted due
to a player threatening to turn them in to one of the many rabid
Christian media-watchdog groups.
I nearly lost track of reasons they provided, but that one stuck out
in my mind. It was also the final one that was used, and part of a
conciliatory gesture on the part of Verant towards the banned
player.
