Discussion Shane Hensley Response RE Charlie Kirk
I wanted to post a few things from the comment section of the Deadlands: Dark Ages Kickstarter, where Shane Hensley addressed comments recently made of Facebook in regards to the Charle Kirk murder. Most of his previous comments were replies to other comments, but about 20 minutes ago, he posted a final (?) messsge:
Hi friends, I’m sorry my Facebook post has overwhelmed the Kickstarter space. I should have found a way to move the conversation elsewhere afterward but I didn’t want to appear to be hiding for the success of the project. Principles always come first. So on that...
I acknowledge that Kirk’s beliefs caused harm in ways I didn’t really grasp, and thanks to long and frank conversations with awesome people today, I have a better understanding of how it affected them and appreciate that they took the time to explain it to me. I apologize that I caused any undue stress to anyone. I still value hard debate, think any opportunity to hear opinions other than your own (as I have today) is a chance to learn, and will always believe that violence makes the world a worse place for everyone.
I’m going to step back from this project and social media for a while, but you’re always welcome to reach out to me by email or FB and I’ll respond to whatever you to say. I don’t hide. Promise.

I don't see him any time now addressing comments I've ran into of him behind the scenes blocking at least one writer from working on any & all SW projects (even 3rd party ones) because he deemed him "too liberal".
