>Blizzard says "don't talk about divisive things using our tournaments and communication channels."

There would probably be less uproar if

a) the rule that he broke was written in a less dumb way or

b) the rule wasn't enforced in an arbitrary and selective fashion

I mentioned this elsewhere, but the guy who said "Free Hong Kong" got a harsher punishment than people who have been caught cheating at Blizzard's tournaments. To me, that says something very sad about Blizzard's priorities. I think if Blizzard had initially given him a more proportionate punishment there would have been much less of an uproar.
