Hayden has, on multiple occasions, targeted and harassed me due to my views on faith.
This was a fear I had always had, and was always concerned about since he took the position of SS Manager, though I suspected it long before.
From his generally dismissive attitude and his troublemaking way of "dealing" with issues, to his refusal to consider me (personal blacklist) for Co-Manager.
Most recently he has cancelled my event and removed me from the Short Stories Team for wishing to run an Historical event based on the Cristeros Fighters of Mexico.
This event was about commemorating the sacrifices of those men and woman who fought and was intended to be a well crafted event that would also educated those interested in the most underreported civil wars of the 20th century.
The Religious undertones of the event is undeniable, with the Mexican Government specifically wishing to curb the power of the Catholic Church in Mexico, so I do not deny that the nature of the event was not religious.
This in itself is not enough to stop an event, after all, we have rules against that
However Hayden argued that because it was "Pride Month", (an event I personally ignore and do not wish to interact with in either a positive, nor negative light) I could not run an event of a religious nature.
Being that this ruling was against the rules, and after discussion with other members of staff (who may or may not wished to be named) / Players. I came to the conclusion that such a ruling was unjust and against Willard Policy, I would appeal to Hayden.
Hayden did not budge on the matter, claiming that he knew of some dark undertone I had, wishing to spite the LGBT community by running an event (that had nothing to do with them?).
I find it a shame that I have to state the obvious and say that I don't subscribe to such reductionist reasoning. I wished to create the event out of a love for the topic matter, not out of spite for an ideology I have been, historically and provably tolerant for. (Though I certainly do not condone it)
To put it bluntly I am disappointed that such a decision was made and not only wish for it to be undone, but for Hayden to be at the very least, temporarly removed from his position until such a date when he can follow Willard Rules and tolerate other points of views.
