I wonder when TB will start threatening to get his fans to beat people up this time ? but its ok because hes does so much for the community AM I RITE ? | ||

but he is completely fair in being this angry too. Look the whole blog post previous to this Genna only took very partial blame for this while posting many paragraphs and reasoning on why it is Take's teams fault Not knowing the details of travel expenses is a HUGE oversight and creating a blog post, essentially, damage controlling it would be extremely angering if I was take It's not all completely her fault but the fact that she mad e apost with private messages to damage control her huge mistake justifies Take's anger IMO | ||

There's usually the hour or so of rude replies after TB gets mad about something. Its nature running its course. | ||

This is one of those things, did TaKe say this conversation is confidential and in no way can be discussed outside of the 2 of you? I really doubt he did as it would be in the transcript, seems he is over reacting and this is one of those things you try to smooth over in time. As an owner you will deal with this type of stuff more often you have to not take things as personal and be tough, TB is a perfect example of this and I would think he would have a strong opinion on the situation which I am sure you both discussed before making this decision. I feel like more is not being discussed because you can't be sued for a skype chat. I wish you the best but I honestly see Axiom hitting some hard roads ahead as TB already has way to much on his plate. Genna has had to deal with quite a few challenges in her job as a team manager. Off the top of my head: broken bone that basically disabled her for a few months, getting thousands of dollars stolen by a travel agency and having to deal with the related budget issues, raising a kid(!) and managing the logistics of running several people around the world with tight deadlines for their arrival. A lot of these things were going on at the same time, by the way, and Genna was doing this solo until recently. | ||

[6:51:33 AM] Dennis.Gehlen: actually i hope that by law [6:51:40 AM] Dennis.Gehlen: this is something you can get punnished for? He is really saying that IF it is punishable by law that he WANTS to pursue that course of action. I think that constitutes a threat. Whether he was justified or not is an entirely different matter - I'm not arguing that. My point is that making such a statement is a 100% certain way to make enemies. So for anyone bashing on TB for defending his wife can take a long walk off a short bridge - because you wouldn't have tolerated it either. | ||

Genna put up a blog basically showing how awesome TakeTV and Acer were trying to be about a bad situation. Then TakeTV's Dennis blows up about personal chat logs being posted that look like good publicity?!?? And he's actually hoping to pursue some sort of legal action? Am I understanding this shit correctly??? We're all up in arms over trivial bullshit. It's as if TakeTV wants to do some TL-style lynching themselves. If I could get away with punching assholes in the throat right now, I'd already be on a flight to Germany. | ||

And ignorant as well, considering geokilla works in a real estate law firm lol. But TB's in rant-mode x.x Regardless of who was right or wrong (Genna or Take... surely neither of them was perfect), I think the Axiom players are going to be the ones who suffer the most. Hopefully TB will act in a professional manner with whatever other managers, owners, and players he needs to deal with. Best of luck to Genna. | ||

It's professional courtesy let alone etiquette not to air private behind the scenes matter to the public without the other parties agreement. Genna, I think you screwed up. Doesn't matter at all. They cleared it with Acer and needed to defend their team's actions - the conversation made Take look good even! The fact that he made these statements to Genna is ridiculous and the community will rightly jump on him for it. On August 16 2013 13:31 chaos021 wrote: None of this actually makes sense.

Take needs to make his own blog and publicly apologize. | ||

I do agree with that but to not get complete confirmation for the travel? That is the most expensive part and if you haven't figured that out until a week before the event? What are you doing???? | ||

Goodluck She made the post to clear her teams name NO one except Take was hurt for whatever reason. He had no reason to be hurt. I can't believe you can instantly remove all personal barriers and say "I wish i could sue you" I can understand being slightly angry but c'mon man saying you wanna sue someone is serious business. | ||
