I can't handle Gretorp talking.

He is just complaining about the difficulties of the race. It's like saying "Man.. those Zealots in ZvP.. you gotta like.. build units to beat them.. when I would rather Drone.. man it sucks.."

Gretorp's experience is NA ladder and MLG yet he is giving an emotional analysis as though he is MVP, winning GSLs and playing among the best players in the world every day, one of his reasoning for Terran being underpowered is "I see Zergs go 12 infestor". What?

MVP's explanation was LEGIT. It was about the map sizes and how Terran lacks the mobility and reinforcement possibilities that Z/P have.

Incontrol and Tyler are SMART when they speak, they speak from a pure analytical standpoint. Their explanations of PvP currently and in the future were amazing. Sure, Incontrol and Tyler aren't playing in GSL every day, but they understand the game on the deepest of levels. Gretrop is speaking from emotions and makes no real sense.

I'm cringing as I listen to this.

I stated something not material, rather something more theoretical, and you were unhappy with the response, maybe because you didn't want to understand what I was saying. Everything I said was completely analytical, and had nothing to do with emotion. I was a consultant before coming into this industry, and I know how to judge things objectively. I see this 'problem' in the scene, not in my games. Why would you think I'm assuming this over the sample set of MY games. That's kind of a silly assumption don't you think?
