"This is not a loaded question", continues for 2 minutes, "this sounds accusing but I don't mean it to be", continues to ask loaded question with accusing tone.

This EG guy sure knows the mechanics of a debate... But he comes off as a total douche.

Turman you've posted 5 times on this page alone attacking AG / EG in general.

We get it, you don't like them.

Calm down.

I have lost all the little respect I had for djwheat. I know he wants the western esports scene to succeed, fuck whoever gets trampled in the process, but come on man, defending AG for that bullshit question?

AG is right that the translators do have a lot of power over the TL community's perception of things, but "new media" journalism accountability just doesn't exist, nor should he ever expect it to exist.

Poor Milkis, EG is drilling this guy like he's got any sort of responsibility?

TL is a community Alex, not the national inquirer. We're allowed to express our opinions. If it fucks you over, too bad.

If anyone thought this guy wasn't being a douche, listened to that, and still thinks he's not a dick.... give me a break. Hey, I'm not trying to throw you under the bus....but get under the bus.

Does he really believe that prefacing a question with "this isn't an accusatory question, but" makes a question NOT accusatory?

Milkis translated something that TSL came out and said. He didn't purposely seek them out for a comment, why is he required to from EG?

alex is completely, totally, wrong here. milkis addressed scoots and scoots responded to him, and refused to give a statement.

This is getting ridiculous, its not a forum posters job to do your PR for you. Make a move like this, you better have a statement prepared. Its not that difficult.

Am I the only one who agrees with Alex? Yeah, he's getting a bit too far in with making Milkis get a quote, but overall, he has been right for most of the night.
