I fully support TotalBiscuit's being angry with this, and I think that SotG should clarify the situation for those who only listen and don't read this thread. We need a clarification, apology for misinformation, and a cessation of the rage >< | ||

Don't give me that 'oh he's just trolling' bullshit. It wouldn't fly in any other medium, it doesn't fly here. "He is the whiniest guy I know" "He is quitting casting SC2" Gee I cannot imagine where that impression came from! Must be just me being overly defensive. Just so I can confirm this. You are honestly claiming that they were purposefully making up lies about you? You don't believe that they were simply misinformed and repeating what they had heard? If that is the case then I really don't know what to say. | ||

I'll just make as big of a deal about it as possible and that will cause the situation to abate naturally on its own! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect Who said I wanted it to go away? It's in my best interests for it not to until the matter is set straight. Just so I can confirm this. You are honestly claiming that they were purposefully making up lies about you?

Man i wonder how they got the impression of "Hes the whiniest guy ever" Its not SotG's fault you handled this wrong. You come out and say I'm cutting back on my starcraft 2 content after the incident happened with the tournament. I just don't get how you see how much of a fuck up that is on your part. OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASSUME since you didn't publicly say why... | ||

Feel better now? I like your casting. I find it enjoyable to listen to because it is a different style than all the other casters do. Therefore, it sounds nice to my ear. I truly feel you would do yourself more good if you either didn't feed the trolling(lies) or responded in a calm well written "press release"(your own thread here on TL). Just coming into a thread and sounding a bit like a whiny bitch, really doesn't do you any good except for temporarily making YOU feel better, while making you look worse. So please take your right hand and grasp your panties and pull them out of your ass. Hoping to hear you doing more SC2 casting in the future..... | ||

I didn't watch the second day much (mainly because the commentary of GLHF) and missed the eclat. But in my opinion TB is one of the best play-by-play commentators and it would be a great move, to include him in major event. | ||

I'd love to see this attitude fly in real life, I mean really. *Media personality slanders other media personality on popular broadcast show* *Slandered personality sues the other guy* *While standing in the courtroom, claims are made that 'oh the slandered guy just didn't handle it properly, that's the issue!'* Ahahahah oh I'm fucking sorry, that is priceless, it's made my day just how fucking crazy that attitude is. Here's the fuckin truth in black and white. This is what they were 'misinformed' about. http://twitter.com/#!/Totalbiscuit/status/36442649300959232 http://twitter.com/#!/Totalbiscuit/status/36442787922718720 One after another, date-stamped, indisputable. Now tell me I just didn't handle it right and I wasn't crystal clear. | ||

That said, I lost a bit of respect for JP, taking those assembly rumors as facts. This is a big community and you can't have solid facts on everything, but when it comes down to publicly slandering a big name like TB which has a great following and has done nothing harmful to the SC2 scene(on the contrary), you better have your facts straight. It was just disrespectful to TB, his following, and the SC2 scene as a whole. INcontroL is INcontroL, and he is known for having a big mouth and we love him for it. He already apologized so I can't really hold it against him. | ||

Publicly saying you will "step back" from SC2 as some kind of punishment is an interesting statement to make (assuming he did). Just in case this was not seen. As for the commnets that were said if I remember correctly iNcontrol seemed to be hesitant and the his opinion was based on the rumour supplied to him. The above post kinda confirms that. As for idra's comment. Well he just likes hearing is own voice i guess. | ||

I shouldn't have commented after only going off of what JP said. I was wrong to do that. I'd be interested to hear what happened from TB's side of things. Publicly saying you will "step back" from SC2 as some kind of punishment is an interesting statement to make (assuming he did). Apology accepted. For your reference, this is what was actually said. http://twitter.com/#!/Totalbiscuit/status/36442649300959232 http://twitter.com/#!/Totalbiscuit/status/36442787922718720 It doesn't match up with what JP told you, you can see that. | ||

It's funny that Idra said it. I think the 2 whiniest persons in the community have their own show, which is called "Imbalanced". lol | ||
