EPTSeems pretty douchey
He actually is attacking a lot of people in that entire reddit just for making comments that aren't 100% praise. Narcissist?

Narcissist? Ah, wonderful. Create and announce several tournaments and breathe new life into the NA scene; no comment. Argues with some guy on reddit; instant fanclub activity. --------------------------- As for the question itself; I can obviously only speak for myself, but he usually doesn't come off as a douche, no. He can, by his own admission, be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but overall he just appears to have very little patience with people nitpicking on stuff like this. He's stated in the past that he would prefer not to have "fans" at all, but would rather just have people watch and enjoy his videos. Personally, I certainly don't always agree with his attitude and without passing judgement either way on this particular situation, some of his "fans" do have a tendency to be quick to point out any mistakes while also being self-entitled and expecting to be catered to with a friendly smile and a bow. Sometimes the way he communicates (especially on twitter a while back) rubs me the wrong way as well, but sometimes his frustration is understandable. | ||

So yeah safe to say we figured out what kind of person he was pretty quickly. He's not a fan. Fans don't insult the person they're a fan of, those are antifans. I don't think it's necessary to cater to antifans. Also requesting the antifan activity be removed from the fanclub. The poster is obviously trying to start drama in here. | ||

The guy in a delicious swing of irony then claimed I was being defensive and followed up by calling me an "insufferable dimwit". Nobody is under attack as the poster claims.

Actually TB was more right than he thought he was. Morrow actually made a couple of Muta micro maps and even his own version of micro tournament in BW. So inadvertently you were more right than you thought xD I can upload it later if you guys don't believe me. It's a pretty good map. | ||

I don't even necessarily think you should "suck up" to your fans, just abandon this attitude where you need to get the last words in a heated argument, reading some of your arguments and actually having one with you sometime ago, it's obvious that you know that you most likely can't change that person's mind and that further arguing is in vain and nugatory, but you just don't stop bombarding that person with arguments until he has given up or until you think you've finally got your moral victory. Note that I'm not saying that you are wrong when arguing with these people (This applies even to me getting into pointless arguments for no reason), but I think that its counterproductive and in your case stress indusive. It might temporarily help you vent some frustration, but in the long run it's ruining your psychical health and that also bleeds into your physical health. So please just consider this, you've got an amazing job that you deserve and worked hard for, family and a lot of resonable fans who appreciate your work and are very unlike the vocal majority. Hope you enjoy your vacation, some good metal and that you get these things out of your system during the trip. GL, HF  | ||

But please don't always try to argue with random people on the internet - you are better than that and I guess it will also be better for your health in the long run  | ||

So the guy needs help and you come in to his fanclub to be smug about it? "I wasn't all that offbase", oh yeah, because having serious issues and needing help is almost the same thing as being slightly rude to someone, right? Fuck off. | ||

No one here mentioned it, so I came to mention it. I said I hope he gets the help he needs. How is that smug? You are awfully combative (based on your post history), I hope you aren't actually TB on a smurf. | ||
