This was all for the sake of drama and entertainment, and I believe JP underestimated how much him and Idra don't get along. People can talk professionalism all you want, but if I was forced on camera to interact with someone I've disliked and not gotten along with for YEARS, I would not put up with it and smile through my teeth with fake politeness forced on by the fact that they had an audience. In my opinion, kudos to Idra for not letting the show environment turn him and his relation with Avilo into something it's not. | ||

Avilo had some pertinent points to make and they continually cut him off and were down right rude, but I didn't expect anything else from them. That picture they put up was avilo when he was 13 and that, too, was just put there to make fun of him. Nice going guys! Idra said: "i was quiet and let him finish his point, the moment i started talking he started yelling over me and saying i agreed with him when i quite explicitly didnt. hes a fucking imbecile and has no place in anything serious in the community and jp's a piece of shit for bringing him on the show. @Idra, how can you lie when people were actually watching? Avilo never once raised his voice and he said, "I agree with what Idra said about..." and tried to explain, but your hatred didn't hear that.so you told him to STFU. Very mature of you. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. If you were actually listening to what avilo was saying, when he was "agreeing with Idra", he wasn't understanding what Idra said at all and then making the dumb 80 drone point once again pretending that that was what Idra said. He even repeated the same thing after Idra had to repeat what he said, and once again, avilo didn't actually listen and agreed with Idra even though it was completely obvious that the arguments were completely different. I don't think it was professional at all, but avilo's flawed comments really destroyed the argument, and you could tell by the time he was kicked that the discussion wasn't going to go anywhere if he wasn't even listening to what was being said. I do agree that he should have been cut in a more respectful way, but it's just dumb to try and defend his argument at all, which was completely flawed and almost felt like a generic vent. | ||

IdrA was tame for the better half of the "debate" even though he obviously dislikes Avilo and didn't even want to talk to him. Avilo even came on the show acting like a passive aggressive prick and should have been hung up on right then and there. You can even tell it crossed JPs mind until Geoff hopped in and said "This is your only chance, don't blow it" After IdrA attempting to be tame, Avilo totally blows it by interrupting him in the middle of talking and screaming "I agree with you!! I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!" Completely twisting IdrAs point around to favor his argument. This would anger anyone having a discussion with some random person, let alone someone you explicitly dislike. At that point, JP had to hang up on him or risk a further blow up from IdrA. | ||

It seems like people in this thread are actually in physical pain. After last week, so many people were begging to have him on when everyone knew it would result in an argument, and then when they bring it on for the entertainment sake, people just can't stop complaining about how bad it was... holy shit.

I completely agree with this statement. Im amazed Idra managed to stay calm for so long actually (Incontrol too apparently). That was a bad idea from the start. | ||

Not getting along with someone does not give you the high ground to ridicule somebody at every chance. Idra is not the only one at fault here, JP and incontrol were going full force with it too. And the worse part is just hanging up a guest like that on stream, totally not professional | ||
