There's unlikely to be any new information on the Kane investigation at all at this point, and the arguments are definitely repetitive, and we likely have some nonnies who use the topic to create wank. So I absolutely understand the frustration. However, the current conversation happened because a well-known fandom figure posted 8k about the Patrick Kane rape case and fandom, which is hopefully something that isn't going to happen every day.
The Mods have discussed before, and frankly we don't think it would be feasible to run a separate post for Kane discussion, just on a practical level where we would have to mod it as well as the main meme! We might consider another ban or partial ban, though. Us Mods will have to discuss this for a bit, because I do feel that there's a more complicated balance to strike on this one than there is for our ban on discussing trolls, for example. Even if we don't institute a ban now, it's something we've thought about doing if we spotted a recurring issue.

So thank you for feedback! The Mods will discuss.
