A bunch of mods, who probably don't even play for a living, censoring discussion of the topic in a forum filled with his victims is pretty bad IMO.
The fact that he stole a bunch of money is not in dispute, and has been discussed ad nauseam.
That his injuries appear to be self-inflicted is irrelevant to the question of his repayment. If he intended to kill himself he was in a great deal of mental pain. That he survived and needs to time to physically recover before all else is true whether he jumped off a building or was the victim of a hit and run.
As Bobo pointed out, you don't really understand the definition of censorship. Nothing was censored (well, some posts were censored, but not many, and not the major discussion/points). The discussion was ceased with the option to restart it.
I agree with Bobo that if the victims of Brandon would like us to reconsider, they should PM us with their concerns. Everyone else has no real standing here other than their desire to participate in the drama, which is standard for NVG and the internet, but at this point seems counterproductive and cruel.
