As the fallout from the huge push to get rid of toxic elements from our hobby continues there are some positive moments.
First off Wizards of the Coast expanded their apology to something better than what Mike Mearls did. They also removed the consultant list from the online version of the PHB and it will not be in any future printing as well. Instead of just removing those who have proven themselves to be shitheels over the years (Zak and Tarnowski) they just blanked out everybody. So far I haven't seen any complaint from the non-asshole members of that list. Here is a link to their statement:

Second GaryCon has officially uninvited Frank Mentzer as GoH. They also spoke out about how terrible his behavior has become. Although they don't say if he is going to be allowed at the con as a regular attendee yet. Personally his actions towards others over the years should land him a ban from any game con that wants to keep out those who are nothing but trouble.

Hopefully there are more good things happening that I have missed. But my free time is very limited this week due to my regular job.
