Having done humor in several forms over the years, I found that no matter how hard you try to not offend anyone, some people just won't get it and will be offended. I chatted with Dave Barry once about this very issue and he has run into the same thing. All you can do is apologize and continue on. If you censor yourself, it stops being fun. If you are worried about offending people, it stops being fun. In the end, you can't stop everyone from being offended. All you can do is apologize for the mistake and move on. If they don't accept the apology, then that is their problem, not yours. I haven't heard this one yet, but I'm sad that it will be the last. You started the cotcast by us for us, and I had a hell of a lot of fun being in them and listening to them. Maybe we can continue them but post them on a private server? Then we can say what we want uncensored. Then the people who hear it won't take anything the wrong way.

I would be more than happy to help with that. I'm also more than sure that the Blagtoof would absolutely love to help as well. In the end, do what you feel you must. As long as you all are happy and having fun, that's all that matters.

WHAT?!
No!
Zeli, c'mon.
It's CoTcast. It's meant for CoT as a guild.(Although BWT and any future ally is more than welcome on it, I'm sure.)
You can't cancel because of something like this. CoTCast in every way embodies what CoT is all about. Ask Pazz, when I first applied to CoT, he said to me "Listen to their CoTCasts dude, you'll see why this guild is meant for us."
And he was right.
Besides...it's a week until us florida boys take over...c'mon Zel reconsider.
Please?! I've been looking forward to that for the past month and a half, don't take it away :*(

Can you at least make the existing episodes available to those of us that are NOT drama queens?

really really sucks. I remember listening to it but I can't recall anything that would be really offensive to anyone. You can't please all the people all the time. Tak we should do a Floridiancast yo! And since we Floridians are known for our tempers we'll just bash everyone. Even ourselves. (Lord knows no one hates Floridians more than Floridians!) ;D TBH I'm surprised we didn't offend more people sooner. Our ratings would have skyrocketed! seriously though. very sad to see this go. We had such a good time with it. I totally vote for a private server, and even more so with blag. Nothing beats drunken podcasting more than drunken cussing smacktalking podcasting.....mmmmmm..

I'm going to be completely honest here. This is complete bullshit. We do our podcast to entertain ourselves, not cater to the ego or feelings of people not in our guild or alliance. Regardless of who gets offended by what we say, it should not matter. They do not have to listen to it at all. Their feelings should not affect how much fun WE can have. Our podcast is for us, we make it by us, for us and the simple fact that so and so didn't like what we said, tough shit man, don't listen to it anymore. I appreciate the fact that perhaps someone didn't like what was said, but that is no reason at all to stop making something. I hate most of these anime shows that plague the television, as well as the majority of these drama "reality" shows. They offend me in the sense of insulting the intelligence of people in general. If I send a letter to said show's producer or whomever they would not say, "Oh crap guys! We have one guy down in Orlando, FL that doesn't like the show! We better call it all off before he gets mad!" *Show comes to a screeching hault, all employees lose jobs, entire fan base hates said company, and nothing good comes of it* If we did this for every single thing that one or two people didn't like or were offended by, let me tell you, there would be no community. We likely would have nothing to do except sit in game doing nothing but chat about the loot we just picked up without saying so much as a single curse word or showing our personalities. We would either be a guild full of mindless drones or we would completely dissolve. The fact that people OUTSIDE the guild AND alliance have the power to shut down something we do for our own entertainment really gets me deep. There's a difference between editing yourself to be appropriate, and completely changing yourself for someone else's view. I will be up front about this my friends. Flat out, this shows a weakness in our skin as a whole. This should not be allowed to stand. I'm not sure who said what or anything like that, but this is unfair to our guild, which again is who we do this for. I will pay for the whole damn thing and host it on a private server if that's what it takes, but dammit I will not have our voices silenced because some guy decided he didn't like what he heard in someone else's podcast. If you are offended, make your own podcast. Vent about it. Or here, how about this man, go on You-Tube just like every other douche-bag and complain enough until you get a movie deal. Then at least you can think back and say, damn that CoT guild podcast really inspired me. But leave our podcast alone damn you! Leave it alone!
