.. this is a roleplaying forum, there is no need or reason to post news stories here.

Doesn't matter if there's a need or reason. I feel like Neo's perfectly within his rights to post his responses to big things like this - you know, just some place to get his thoughts down.

Hell, if anything, my experience has taught me that a healthy dose of off-topic chatter in an OOC thread can help make RP groups feel closer and keep general activity on the forum moving so as to help strengthen the RP's longevity. 

And overall I really see no reason why RPing has to be all-business like you act like it is. Why can't roleplayers engage in some friendly conversation? Or in this case, maybe vent about something that could be personally upsetting? :/
