I saw several threads about Klazart which I looked at on their site, but the threads are getting pretty gargantuan and I don't really want to spend so much time personally looking at a bunch of people arguing about Klazart on some writing site. This is the thread I've gone through in its entirety -- link; the quote by user 'Hilton' is on the second to last page, page 68 of 69 right now. The first ~35 pages of the thread are essentially Klazart defending himself on his own against various members of the Authonomy community -- Klazart's arguments are all stated in those pages, I think; the rest of the thread is a flame war between the Authonomy regulars, who have by then realized to some degree that Klazart's supporters are not bots, and actual members from YouTube/TL/other sites who have stepped up to defend Klazart. Also, it should be noted that apparently no moderator action is expected on their site until Monday, so various members allude to waiting, expecting a rollback, etc. | ||

This entire contest is a freakin popularity contest, so its hilarious that so many people are getting pissed about it. This isn't about whose book is the best. This is about who can get the most votes, more or less. If this is about whose books are the best, why is it in a freakin poll format? btw, I think this book is superior to Klazart's: http://authonomy.com/ViewBook.aspx?bookid=7639 Whoever posted that, you're my hero for the day. | ||

No, it's merely because it's someone the team liquid community frowns upon. Not really. Chill didn't pretend he was doing it so we could all see his friend's work. | ||

What on earth are you talking about? I never said anything was "pathetic." While Klazart may not have wanted what happened to happen, it was a completely foreseeable risk. If you want to mobilize a fan base, you have to be prepared to deal with the fact that some of your fans may be stupid. I'm just saying I don't buy that he was just trying to show his work to a couple of guys from youtube with that video. | ||

I'm just saying I don't buy that he was just trying to show his work to a couple of guys from youtube with that video. Of course he was trying to climb the rankings, that much is pretty obvious from his video. As for my pathetic remark, apologies, for that was merely a word that seemed apt considering the nuance of your reply to my first post. I was merely trying to say that it's not what he has done that has irritated many people, more who has done it. As in the individual who solely expressed his distaste for Klazart's commentaries as opposed to the ethically dubious tactics he employed to attempt to try and climb the rankings. Much love. | ||

 ), that I was glad to support his book when he asked to.Though, indeed he should have reconsidered this idea, as the chaos he raised and inevitable subsequent awareness may even lead to his disqualification. (I'm saying that without actually knowing anything about the site's policies) And the forum drama is just too funny (oh, and I read it, yes.) | ||

What can explain that horrid voice? I'm pretty sure he's indian and I can understand people not liking his voice. But you have to envy his love for the game, the way he's commentating with so much heart is just amazing. | ||
