I'm kinda finding it funny how a lot of this stuff has been speculated about by Korean pros, so they must know something's going on. | ||

I just think if someone is supposed to be giving an apology for screwing things up he should just give a real apology not some half assed "but im still right" statement. The edit was to add in "should" The thing is he IS still right. | ||

I think he is forced to right that apology, so obviously it is not sincere. Because he is in Korea, he can be sued for any information on internet. I am sure if he were in America and coach Lee contacted and demanded apology, he'd laugh to his face and say "fuck off". I'd do that. | ||

Especially if he can make a case that this can hamper his career.The only difference is that you are more anonymous. | ||

Edit 2: It's not something I typically do. Just trusted Rekrul since he has a 100% success rate previous to this. People with no history here won't understand it and it's easy to say told you so. Anyways, sorry about that. Ehh, they shouldn't be reversed. Maybe reconsidered. Some of them were clearly trolling but that's up to the admins to decide. | ||

I'll be the first to admit I'm a hardcore SC newbie (only been following SC2 for a year, read about BW history but never followed it). With that in mind, even I know who Rekrul is and that he's not just some scrub you can shrug off when he comes out with info like this. bold: but he did pull some bullshit off and now apologize for it didn't he? | ||

I don't know Korean Law at all but I'd guess in America it is a lot harder to prove what he said was slanderous. Rekrul could argue that he had good reason to believe what was said about Coach Lee was true and therefore he is completely protected under the law. In Korea, (I think but I don't know), the courts are more sensitive to slanderous things like what Rekrul posted. | ||

If it's something he thinks is true he should just leave it there, if it isn't what he thinks why post it in the first place? If it was rumors or whatnot just put that in there and you're good. No reason to delete the thread. | ||

Hopefully this serves as notice to those of you that it's difficult for anyone to write without bias, and that no-one remembers events perfectly. | ||

While Rek was a bit sensationalistic ect, I still think the bulk of his OP still holds merit for us. I personally doubt he would have retracted any of it, but as soon as I heard someone mention "Korean Netizen" in the op, and as I simultaneously started thinking about Slayers Jessica suing teenagers on twitter... it REALLY doesn't seem out of place for a foreigner in Korea to not want to risk legal trouble and getting sued over gossip, and over something that can be argued as much more defamatory. Rek's a poker player remember? He knows when to fold em' :p | ||

Sued for about 30K pounds iirc. Definitely counts as published in a fair few countries. Just because this is tl and not a news site doesn't make a difference :p.

Isnt spunky doing poker? or in the past sometime? Lee probably blackmailing him saying that 'if I go down, you go down too' (cuz gambling illegal) and spunky tell rekrul to take down post so he doesnt wind up in shit. Why would rekrul post half assed apology so fast and get post delete so quick? It doesnt make sense unless blackmailed. OR he got a letter/phone call from Lee's lawyer. That seems 10x more likely than spunky is being black-mailed. | ||
