--When you express opinions or explain your stance on an issue, it reads better and makes you feel better if you are very humble and not too ambitious with your claims. This is just a change in the phrasing and mood of the text and careful clipping of the scope on everything you say. Unless you are absolutely 110% sure that what you're saying is correct and you're willing to defend exactly what you said to the death (even if you wrote ambiguous things and said things you didn't mean to), then you should be as humble and as limited as possible. You should act like you are willing to change every opinion you have, or perhaps go farther than that and act like you want to change every opinion you have, even if you don't feel that way at all. You can be 99% sure that you're completely correct, but you should still act this way. You should do it because it makes it much easier to cope when it turns out you are wrong or when it turns out that everyone hates what you're saying (even if they can't prove that you're wrong and even if it's not wrong at all). And you act that way because people will respond to it better and like you more. All sorts of very smart and successful people practice this, whether in academia or business. They have extreme and passionate sentiments hidden behind impenetrable walls of humble and limited public speech. | ||

You got backlash (as expected) from just about every other eSport that you admit you were shitting on (what you did was essentially equivalent to "You're all wannabes, BUT NO OFFENSE"), and then you got all pissed off at other people's opinions on the subject matter (proliferation and growth of non-BW eSports [which you don't actually seem to know much about]) such that you deleted your accounts and made a sob story here on TL to garner sympathy. Criticism is hard to take, but you seem to be taking it a bit far with the drama, especially since you say you were basically expecting it. Putting your foot down and not taking shit you don't want to take from the community is a pretty boss thing to do, but then to make this kind of a thread about it and basically quit eSports forever over the small issue... Anyways, hope to see you back, your translations were fine and your initiatives like bring over MKP were great. No need for any of this though. Edit: And I agree with Tyler's understanding of PR. | ||

edit : someone posted that reddit link where you wrote an awesome and accurate article about BW. In my opinion it was very informative for people who are new to e-sports and have no idea of what a real esport can be. I believe those haters don't deserve your translations. | ||

Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness. My question to you is, if you let all that was said get to you so much that you decide to quit everything and pout, were you even happy doing it at all? Opinions are opinions, everyone is entitled to have one. You voiced yours, others voiced theirs. What exactly were you expecting? Pats on the back and people wholeheartedly agreeing with you? | ||

If that's enough for you to leave then it was inevitable. Regardless, you're the one who loses the most from this. The community loves your content, but they don't live it. Make your choice carefully; people would much prefer a silly mini-drama than you actually peacing for good, but in the long run it'll be just another story on TL. No one will know what they've missed: if you really want to tell people your mad, keep showing them what you can do, and then also tell them to fuck off. It's far more effective. | ||

Look at Totalbiscuit, one of the most hated casters within SC2, but he handles it fine, and he is just getting more and more famous. Final thing to say must be, MILKIS DONT QUIT, my god you can't do this, imagine all players that get hate, they don't quit playing? they stay focused on what they want to do, no matter what the others say. Love u milkis, dont quit. He doesn't want to do this though, read the OP. It's up to him if he wants to quit but seriously, dont quit because a small minority of the sc2 community called you retarded and a bad translator. | ||

It has its uses for sure. Trying to share alternative viewpoints is not one of them. | ||

Chill: Because we have to criticize him. HotBid: He didn't do anything wrong. Chill: Because he's the translator TeamLiquid deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll criticize him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Korean knight. | ||

No matter who are you people won't like it or like you for some reason. Right now I can say that I do not like you because you are a completely pessimistic person and are letting the negativity take over your life. Once you open up and become more accepting of the fact that people truly appreciate what you have done and what you are doing then I hope you will come back. This community is too great of a thing to just leave. If you are truly gone then good luck finding another community or anything that is as great as this one. I genuinely hope this is just a pissy temper tantrum and that you'll be back in a couple days. As a fan of Milkis I say good luck with whatever you choose to do. | ||

sorry to see him go + Show Spoiler + Not going to lie, he didn't deserve the hate but he could have been a little "stronger" about it. Some notable examples would be people like Moletrap or Incontrol who have an army of haters but they keep trucking on with as much passion as one can have | ||

Do whatever makes you happy, but one night isn't enough to make the best decision. Perhaps you need to think more.  | ||
