HyeMew, the creators have posted a statement at the end of this thread telling us that they are gathering information and will let us know when they come to a decision. They have also locked that thread and asked us to discuss these issues any further until they make their formal statement.

For me personally, the interim statement is sufficient to indicate that things are still in flux and that the creators haven't forgotten their responsibility to keep us informed.

As I write this, the creators' interim statement is already six hours old. Yet people in this thread were still demanding to hear from the creators an hour and a half ago. Unfortunately, the creators didn't post in, or lock, this thread; I have no idea why. However, I suggest that out of respect for the creators' request, this thread be locked as well.

BTW, I received several PMs yesterday responding to my offer to post a brief explanation of sexual harassment law. Given the creators' request, I'm going to hold off on posting that explanation until we hear the formal statement about Glenn's status. At that point, I'll provide the explanation if it seems appropriate.

I agree about leaving this thread open. I respect The Creators' request to remain patient while they make a decision, but I see no harm in this discussion as long as it remains positive.

HyeMew, I have a great deal of respect for you, but on this matter I have to disagree with you.

I am not at all convinced that we on the forum have seen or heard all of the evidence about this situation. Though I understand that you and others here have many connections with ARG players and other forumites, I sincerely doubt that everyone who was involved in interchanges with Glenn would make that information known to anyone other than the creators -- especially given the sexual nature of the allegations.

We aren't "being allowed to run wild in thoughts and outrageous claims." The creators made a plain statement asking that forumites not "make claims about Glenn based on conjecture." I don't understand why anyone thinks that anything more than that is necessary. We don't need to add to the drama here.

Horcruxes, unless you know more about the Yousef situation back in December than I do, it simply isn't true that "if we had no say in who stays or who goes, then yousef would no longer be with LG15." Based on the facts of the situation as they were explained here, Yousef simply misunderstood a request by the creators that the cast not count on LG15 as their only source of income. Again, if you have additional information, I'd appreciate it if you would share that information.

In any event, though, I don't think that the Yousef situation is at all equivalent to this one. Here, Glenn has been accused of serious misconduct. If those allegations are found to be true, then I doubt very much that fan input will make much of a difference in his fate.

Finally, I don't think it helps Glenn in any way to demand a statement from the creators before they are ready to issue one. If they feel overly pressured, they might move too quickly and make the wrong decision.

Let's all just calm down and wait for the process to work itself through.

I think what people are forgeting is that there is a lot more information that is not being made public. Not because they don't want it to be made public, but because out of respect for certain people, they aren't going to make it public.

We simply do not have all the information on the forums, and The Creators have more then we do.
I'm trusting that they have all the chat logs, all the statments (in more detail then ours) and that they are using all this information to come to a knowledgable desicion.

While I am disgusted at every aspect of the accusations that Glenn is facing, more so on the "shilling" area (i do understand the schedule aspect of it, but as the creators, including glenn, have stated, if the puzzle isn't figured out the characters would have the answers for us within the next few videos), I do agree he brough up the quality of the story line. It gave the story the base and the meat it needed.

Do I think he should be axed...a part of me is saying yes, but another part of me is saying no.

Discussing the contributions that Glenn has made to LG15 videos is neither gossip nor conjecture. I agree that this thread should remain open, with one caveat, any posts containing gossip, conjecture, or further speculation about any allegations regarding Glenn shall be split into a separate thread and locked.

I feel the need to post in this thread and give my opinion, though everything that I wanted to say has already been said so eloquently. I'm not here to debate with anyone or start any arguments, just to give my thoughts on this matter in the hopes that The Creators may take what we say to heart. I wholeheartedly agree that Glenn has made the whole LG15 experience a better one. Truth be told, if it weren't for him, I'd have stopped watching long ago. 'The Human Ransom' was just amazing. I still find myself watching it over and over. The quality is just phenominal and the excitment it captures is truely a testament to Glenn's talents. (I don't know anyone who can say that they didn't get excited when they heard Tachyon's music start to play. That was just a great moment.) And this is just one of the videos he contributed to. I think it would be a shame if we were to lose someone so talented. It would be a huge loss for the LG15 team in my opinion.

I concur with the gist of this thread as well. If, after looking at all the facts of this very messy situation, there is any way possible to keep Glenn on board, I hope that is the option you choose, Creators. He is a talented man, who has made significant contributions to the LG15 Universe. Hopefully, we have all learned much from this experience and can now move on to greater things.

I would also like to express my support for Glenn here. I would like to echo the sentiments of HyeMew, horcruxes, et al. and say that I completely agree. The videos that Glenn has written and directed are among my favorites in the series. In the Human Ransom, I actually cheered out loud when I saw Tachyon's plane pull up and her theme music began. Interrogation 101 really highlighted the acting abilities of Yousef and Jackson. And I loved Yousef's performances in Drinking Problems and Miss Me? I have truly enjoyed his contributions to the series.

Having some first hand knowledge of the allegations that Glenn has been faced with, I would like everyone to know that this situation has been spun entirely out of control by speculation from people who were NOT aware of the whole truths. Glenn hurt no one.

I think it would be a huge mistake if Glenn was not involved in the lg15 production anymore. His talents as a story-teller, writer, editor, and director are apparent. He has made a valuable contribution to the Creators' team. To let Glenn go would be a terrible injustice to him, and to the series.

What is with all this defending Glenn? He broke the rules, he was fired. End of story.
