#4For such apparently intelligent people, such dimwitted use of a centrally managed communications.
Not to mention bad taste, it seems.

#5We'll have to create a public and a second, private, personality just like in the old days of the police state.
Society is more open than it probably was ever before but at the same time, if close minded leaders of fascist political or religious color came into power they'd have their tools handed to them to create an oppressive apparatus never seen before.

Well that's a very different matter, it was excessive offensive language to their customers (the other players) in game chat.

Noteworthy difference being that, I believe, Riot employees are identified as such and their communication is public (in the eyes of Riot) not private.
In this case I think it might very well be a case of "The Aristocrats" humor like they mentioned in the article (CAH). I disagree with withdrawing the invitation based upon private communication here, but if it was publically visible and said "hey we're Harvard Students" I can understand Harvard's position and cautiously agree with them.

People go to the toilet to get the crap out. Same for many online forums.

#10another example why shenanigans shouldn't be done on Facebook. if you wanna $#!K around do it on a platform that isn't personal how is this so hard to understand ? (mind you this does seem excessive from what they are reporting)
