Let me get this straight. CBR can report on the Dynamite controversy, but we can't talk about it?

Yup. Because people will come here to defend it. I'm not a fan, either, but I can understand the logic.

Mods have always been able to handle trolls, And if the thread degenerates into that, fine, close it. But the other thread was closed and it was a polite discussion without vitriol.

Indeed. What I find interesting is that it can't be talked about on the forums, but the stories on the front page allows discussion. Is it a clickbait situation?

I imagine the people who run the news and the Mods are not on the same page on this.
The last thread was closed because:

We don't discuss CG or related matters on the CBR Forums. We will not give that hate group any sort of platform.

We have news articles about it, but you can't discuss those articles. Huh?

I'll hopefully clear this up.
The Forums and Main CBR site operate effectively independently. The Forums volunteers don't work on the main site, the main site staff don't have any mod status on the forums.

We have a long standing policy on the forums not to discuss CG, as they are a harassment and hate group and we do not wish to give them any sort of platform. We don't want CGers coming here at all, they are simply not worthy of these forums. If the discussion can be kept to just Dynamite, go for your life. But keep CG out of it as much as you can.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Barrucci the Wise? No. I thought not. It’s not a story the mods would tell you. It's a internet legend. Darth Barrucci was a comics master of the industry, so powerful and so wise he could use the internet to raise tons of cash overnight by having known characters pose with characters no one heard of. He had such a knowledge of the dark practice that he could even keep so called "woke" creators quite about the practice and working for him and have no media outlets call them out. The dark side of comics is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. What happened to him? He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his cash, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentices everything. It's ironic he could make tons of cash for others others but could not keep it for himself.
