Like many who read this thread I look at lots of different sites and even though this thread has stayed pretty focused on the product and facts other sites seem to be making a point of attacking the author and attaching labels and names to the product and author, rather than discussing facts.

I hear what you are saying, and surely if you formed the question like that you would get blank stares, but perhaps something like ....

"Is an addon that restores /follow functionality to BGs prohibited?"

.... wouldn't be a waste of breath? Or at least save future wasted breath put into speculation on this thread, or any others like it when another solution is proposed?

(Also, I assumed that since some people early in the original /follow thread alluded to direct communication to Blizzard some in this community had better credibility/recognition and therefore access to Blizzard, but I could certainly be wrong).
