I don't see any situation where "You just call" makes grammatical sense.
"You just call me a retard because [...]" is a general statement, implying that this situation has happened multiple times before and will happen again
"You just called me a retard because [...]" is one incident in the past "You are just calling me a retard [...]" refers to one ongoing incident

As you know Greg is my friend and I love him to death but I can't really defend him on this one. I honestly agree with about 90% of your post, the 10% pretty much being the bullshit about him having no skill in sc etc... Anyways man, these types of things should be said to a persons face (or since its the sc.... pm, aim, msn etc...). Shit like this shouldn't be publicly posted. It's just asking for a flame fest where 100 people gang up on 1. Simply not cool. And truthfully sitting down with someone and explaining something to someone seriously, logically and calmly is much more effective then this.
OK, G5, I know you're getting emotional cause this is about one of your good friends, Greg, but don't get all silly on me like in the PM U just sent: (sorry it was ridiculous I had to include it)
"You think I'd go down on a girl and then let her leave before giving me a blowjob?"
Do you think your witty / cool with your little frat boy phrases?
Either write a real response or ignore my post completely; which in this case would be appropriate considering it was a rhetorical post which any idiot could understand would be the right / respectful thing to do.
Don't throw out some idiotic bullshit phrase. Which you probably think makes you sound cool because it insinuates that you have sex which is something you try to make very clear as often as possible. Hey guess what big shot? No one fucking cares. Get over yourself.
What I was implying with my blowjob statement was that if I put my time into writing something like this I want to get something out of it. You all know I love the shit-storms more than anyone. Atleast I admit my flaws!!! (cough). Sex is just an integral part of all our lives and is an underlying motivation for almost everything we do or say in one way or another so I love using sexual metaphors or examples. Sex/sexual experience does not make anyone special in anyway and to assume that I would think something like that 'makes me cool' is an idiotic assumption. To tell me 'no one fucking cares' is like telling an athiest that God doesn't exist. No shit sherlock. Thats what guys do. They talk about sex and shit all the time. Just cause not many of TL.netters write about it all the time doesn't mean I'm trying to act like I'm cool. I am a big shot though, thats for sure.
You think these kinds of things should be kept private. I don't. Especially not for the one remaining foreigner in Korea. He is our our respresentative whether he likes it or not. Whether or not he truly cares about that fact or not doesn't matter. Doesn't matter to me if he's only in it for himself. The least he can do is publically ACT respectfully even if he curses to you or artosis or whoever on MSN about how much F91 sucks.
I would never have posted this if IdrA didn't write those pathetic comments. When I first heard that F91 beat IdrA I really didn't even think anything of it. I didn't even think to myself "wow Idra still sucks?" All I merely thought was "Wow whos F91? LOL." But he's the one that made it a public issue by whining with exucses rather than saying "GG, well played."
This is not 100 vs 1. This is not a fight, this is many shared opinions that shed light onto the truth of a situation. These are all fans of IdrA's whos expectations were let down not only by his performance, but much more importantly: his attitude. People are not just flaming him to flame him (except superiorwolf but he's just a faggot) they are upset that they have been let down. Their posts show they still care and would like IdrA to change his ways. I think it's a valuable lesson if he can disregard all the faggot flame posts from idiots.
IdrA Please do better, learn some decision making from Flash he is great at it, and for god's sake you knew F91 plays out of the box, you should've thought on scouting until you knew what was really going down, even if it means making 5 bunkers so you can defend his "surprise attacks", while you scout, you are the ""White" hope even if we don't like you or your game style, i don't want this to be a flame post but just to make you think about what are you doing wrong, and improve significantly. In StarCraft you need to think, your game can't be pure muscle Memory, Mind Over Mechanics.

but I had only called that retard a retard once before and I don't play on calling that retard a retard ever again..... so obviously "is a general statement, implying that this situation has happened multiple times before and will happen again " is incorrect because I only called him a fucking retard one time and never plan to address him again.

People who know you and care about you are voicing similar opinions, g5,machine, rekrul (I don't know about that one) .... don't argue with the retards like noobs and raithed .. READ THE REAL POSTS AND RESPOND TO THEM.
i havent read the whole thread, but the posts by g5 and machine on the last couple of pages were nothing to respond to "ya he can be a prick but its kinda gay to try to address it this way" ok?
Your only response should be to apologize for your BM and tell everyone that you will try harder next time. You thank those who are still supporting you. You plan to still try harder in Korea, because just being over in Korea does not grant you the ability to play better. You have put in hard work and made sacrafices to make it this far, you hope that both your fans and nay-sayers can atleast respect that. Tell the community that you have been there about a year, lasting longer than many foreigners. So at the very least, you have heart.
Don't dig a hole any further, you have a new scene to excel in. Defending yourself from TL.net members is not something you should wrack your mind over. Take my advice on this, keep your head down, and just work.
There are a whole lot of ways to act when facing a loss and no one who considers themselves a professional should say the things that you said.
Just for a random example, a Canadian UFC fighter GSP was booed the first time he fought in the UFC for no other reason that he was canadian, in less than 2 fights he was one of the most liked fighters in the entire world just because of the way he acted before fights and after wins and losses.
This is how professionals should act.
It's honestly part of your job to represent yourself and your team and market your image. Behaving like you do can hold you back so much and honestly, after you get over yourself it feels really nice to be well mannered and show respect to people deserving of it.

making 5 bunkers guarantees you're gonna lose just as hard if theyre powering as making 1 does if theyre going allin.

At MBC Trials I raped some terran round one. I was feeling pumped and ready for round 2 vs. Reach.
I was then walking towards him and he was walking towards me and we made eye contact, he didn't look away, neither did I. I felt the power of the mantoss. There was nothing I could do. He was Reach. I was the first one to break the eye contact. I knew what was coming.
I kinda feel sorry for all the shit Idra has to take now. But then I remember how BM he was and all my sympathy goes away and all is left is a cold empty feeling of disappointment.
