Not gonna even start arguing about whether or not offensive language should be protected in online video games, but it's common practice now for online video games to have warning and ban systems in place for racial slurs and offensive language. So he deserved to be banned at least in the sense that he should've known what he was getting himself into.

after 2 years i reached it = marine icon
"URRRRRGH I am way too lazy to improve my icon to firbat. Now what is a good way I can get a new icon without having to spend any time at all?"

Wow, I've not heard anyone call anyone a jew as a form of insult since like the first season of south park when I was still in school until now. Kinda funny to get temp banned here for complaining about a temp ban on SC2 though.

I don't understand... Is Jew meant to be an insult? I mean, really? I can't believe that sort of casually racist crap is still going around. The only times I've ever heard anyone call anyone a Jew was in a joking manner, referring to the stereotype of Jews being cheap, etc. Like, if someone won't spot someone for lunch, someone would say, "Wow, what a Jew." Yeah, it's terrible, and we're propagating a stereotype. If there was an actual Jew in the group, we would never dare to use that. Although it's really not that common around where I live, since we're all Asian, and we just say, "wow, you're so Chinese." It's pretty amusing since the people saying that are themselves Chinese, but yeah.
Yeah, I get joking about that sort of thing with friends but as an insult it just seems so ridiculous. YOU GODDAMN PERSON WITH RICH CULTURAL HISTORY AND TERRIBLE WINE! HOW DARE YOU BEAT ME AT THIS GAME.
Whatever, idiots will be idiots I guess.

Yeah, I personally think that with the ability to block players, banning for this is stupid. After playing other games, especially DotA on WC3, it just seems outrageous that you could be banned for anything you could possibly say. I don't like the way banning for language has been adopted from WoW to SC2, because it didn't make sense there either. That being said, this guy's a moron.

I'm impressed by the number of "I lost, raged on someone, got banned, and now I'll rage on tl" posts...
|
|

I would really actually like to see this guy perma-banned on TL =/
Judging by other posts of his behaviour on other sites etc., just seems like the type of person we don't want on here 
Altho I'm sure he'll get himself nuked before long anyway.

did we win that game? you stopped the cannon rush pretty easily

We lost. I asked if I could get a forum star if we won and you said "only blizzard can give achievements".

why the fuck was he banned for that, thats absurdly stupid ... i mean , do such words do any harm to anyone ? at least he doesn`t supress his feelings ...
|
in USA at least, jew is a common insult, though it's usually to insult someone due to thrifty actions
such as: "That Jew could sell me my own car!" or; "I just got Jewed by that deal"

my guess is because his post was not useful at all except to show what kind of person/attitude he was.. and to some people, what he said can be really offensive (sometimes it's better to suppress your feelings, regardless of what everyone tells you throughout your life)

I also hate when you play someone, and you go to find another match and you have to play against them again. Really irritating. Clearly if you didn't win the first time, you won't win the second time
What, really? Honestly, I'll be thrilled to face the same opponent twice in a row. The only time that has happened to me the other guy surrendered immediatly, even though I had lost the first game =/

How does this only deserve a temp ban? If we permanently banned him then he wouldn't come back in a week and read all the supportive comments we've left for him in this blog.
I totally agree, it would be unfair to not give him the chance to learn from all the supportive feedbak he's getting. One can only hope he will return and realize how disrespectfull he was, and cherish the second chance he undeservedly got.
