I had an extremely long post written in which I voiced my opinions about this, but after a bit of talking with friends and thought, I decided against submitting it. It had a lot of the old "Admin Jeff" in it, with me putting my foot down and putting on my Dad Boots. I'm not in a position to do that anymore, so I let it be.
Instead, I'll just say that I'm disappointed in a lot of the statements I've read as of late. There's been a severe lack of understanding going on amongst our members, from some condemning and shaming LAW for their actions, to others invalidating the valid concerns of other members. Whether the act itself was wrong or not doesn't really matter anymore. What matters is where we go from here.
Instead of talking about the past, this is when we should be discussing the future. And not the bleak "everything is gonna change into something awful" future. But instead how things will change for the better, because we'll MAKE things better. I'm always available to anyone who wants to figure out how to turn a big event like this into an opportunity to grow as a player and character. Like a flower which grows more beautifully when you turn the earth before planting it, change doesn't HAVE to be the end all for your plans. Instead, you can see it as a turning point to even greater things.
