So, a couple of thugs apparently attacked a lady in a NE t-shirt at blizzcon, shouting "alliance b****" at her while yanking on her lanyard.
Here's the original post:

The odd thing is that when i tried to extend my sympathies to the husband (I play alliance) I got "this thread is post capped", except it's only 1 page long and has like 15 posts total. No blue acknowledgment is one thing, i don't expect blues to comment on such things,
but quietly locking the thread and hoping it goes away is another thing all together.
This isn't the place to comment on Horde Vs Alliance, so I won't. I'm putting this here to point out that Blizzard is happy to let the more extremist members of the horde run riot, and then for Zarhym to more or less ENDORSE it is ridiculous:

In any other company, letting someone get on stage and yell death threats and obscenities at half your playerbase would be a huge public relations disaster. Blizzard isn't even trying to apologise to anyone. Samwise did it, but you don't have a Blizzard rep standing up and saying "this shouldn't have happened". Instead, let's just sweep everything under the rug.
I'm not letting them. I hope you read the original post.
