I think most people love the insight you bring to the forums (I do), it is your tone that leaves something to be desired.
Your posting is informative and appreciated (Not by everyone because it is the internet), but it would be way, way better if it were (at times) less sarcastic/agressive/rude.

Well it was a nice meme. What other post could you possibly make about it?

if it's so telling then go post your blog on reddit... you're fighting a losing battle by generalizing the entire forum, specially when you have been given the distinction of having a special icon by tl staff

To be fair having a special forum icon doesn't mean he has to be a saint or anything.

Is axiom self sustainable at this point then? Yeah it is. Come our next sponsor we should be turning a profit.

I'm happy to hear it's improved that much. You shouldn't use the A word around TB Assume that is
Hehe, so true

There was nothing wrong with the content of the blog imo...TB just needs to be better at not letting trolls/stupid comments get under his skin and ignore them. They're dragging him down to their level !

Pretty much this. Problem is, no matter how nicely people phrase what you've just said to TB (and people say it every time he posts almost without fail), his response is always childish. He won't accept that it's possible that he could improve.
I mean on the 1st page he says:

Wonder why barely anybody of importance posts here anymore? Because everytime they take the time to share the facts of the industry they get shit on by mouthbreathers from the peanut gallery. Go away.
And apparently we are to accept that this is just his cynical/sarcastic style. There's nothing remotely redeeming about a post like that, it's 100% ban-worthy and it's a sad indictment on this site that he gets away with that shit. Idra used to make posts way less bad than that and got banned heaps, even though he was often a more valuable contributor to TL (in my personal opinion).

lol comparing rekrul to tb's posts in this thread alone is a ridiculous juxtaposition. rekrul might be a sarcastic asshole at times, but he's a baller.. tb's "go fuck yourself, you're the reason no one posts here" comments are a bit far flung from the "dry humor" he tries to explain it as
special icons mean that staff thinks you're baller and worthy of recognition... posting straight up banbait is pretty questionable

lol I don't like wking people but TB is a big contributor to TL and SC2, and he deals with personal attacks (related and unrelated to sc2) and attacks on his work and projects, including axiom, on a repeated basis. If you think he crossed the line, you'll notice that TB can be reported and so you can go down that route.
But on a balance scale, TB contributes a lot to TL and sc2 in terms of money and content, so cursing in his posts is trivial in comparison...

That argument would be legit if TB's cursing was somehow essential to his producing content... But it isn't. It's actually possible to be a great contributor to SC2/TL while not being a dick (see: most other contributors). There's no reason to accept him aggressively attacking people just because he's a contributor.
I'm not sure why TL doesn't enforce higher posting standards on him. It's not like it would scare him off - TL is quite obviously a big asset in continually developing his brand.
BTW: his post that I quoted has already been reported

This sums up how I feel. TB is justified in being mildly offended by the naive question, and if he wants to communicate in a passive aggressive manner, that's fine too. It is pretty clear he was offended by the question -- to the point of writing this blog at least.
As long as he understands that his type of communication will alienate a large % of people until the end of time -- his fans included.
http://www.scienceofpeople.com/2011/12/sarcasm-why-it-hurts-us/
I'm a big fan, not just of what he does for SC2, but I think he does great things for PC gaming -- period. I did find it pretty disappointing that the "go fuck yourself" and the broad generalization insulting this entire community are considered perfectly fine regardless. It's not gonna stop me from being a fan.

Any chance of Axiom expanding into Heroes?

This seems accurate to me, and I get that - if I poured my money, heart, and soul into an endeavour, saw it fulfill my definitions of success, and then see people saying that it 'hardly exists', I'd definitely be offended, too.
And then of course, this is the Internet, where nuance is lost as a natural consequence of the lack of face-to-face contact and every topic but the most obscure is overwhelmed by discussion that claims more expertise than is actually present, so... you know, fireworks ensue. 'Discussions', for lack of a better word, are always worse when you can't see the facial expression of someone you're talking to so you know when either one of you makes a faux pas or is, god forbid, actually joking about something, blackly or otherwise.

TB's attitude and posting style strikes me as Idra-light. Embrace the anger TB! Become SC2's number one heel!
