That Park Place Receives "Cease and Desist" Letter from Black Girl Gamers
🕑 Added 2024-03-28 14:45:47 +0000 UTCHappy day everyone!
I apologize for not getting something out yesterday. It's not too often I have a fourteen-hour day with no breaks from beginning to end. However, we've had some interesting developments that required attention.
One interesting development is that Black Girl Gamers had threatened legal action against That Park Place via a no-response-allowed 𝕏 post. We strongly believe that the statements in their threat regarding the journalism, research and conclusions of the site, are false. We've never been provided with any clarification as to which statement featured on the site is incorrect. Given that John Trent used screen captures to assess the opinion of the article, and those screen captures came from BGG and/or its personnel, it's not obvious what is in error.
All of that said, about 24 hours later, John received a cease and desist that goes very far in its declarations. It is not a simple request to amend or delete an article. At this time, I cannot yet talk about what the cease and desist says nor can I say what the response will be. I can only tell you that a response is forthcoming.
Free press is one of the most important aspects of a free society. Without actual journalism and reporting, things go south very quickly. Without freedom of speech, there is no corrective mechanism to keep society away from very bad decisions. It's why many feel that freedom of speech is the foundation upon which all other freedoms depend. It's also why it is so important to defend. While there are significant risks to defending oneself against threats of legal action, that isn't to say there are no risks to cowering or doing something that seems to betray truthfulness.
Without commentary, I'll simply point you to the news story on Bounding into Comics:

And please know a response is on the way.

You don’t need a lawyer to write one AI will do it for you!

Considering the Supreme Court has been overturning extreme race based hiring they probably don't know that.

I believe John Cash works in a song went something like this "what you do in the dark will come out in the light" think thats it. I guess they don't like the sunshine.

Boy, as you get more popular, the nut balls really do come out of the wood work. How can a lawyer write a cease and desist on the truth and something they wrote themselves. My prayers are coming your way. Stay strong guys!!!!

Considering that evidence was posted inside the article, I doubt this legal case has any merit.
