If he's this sensitive, can't confidently say a single sentence to someone in person then he would be a world out of depth on air. It's such an ironic situation that it'd be strange not to find some way to make a joke out of it, from Tasteless pov. Questionable choice to do it on air however, but fair enough. | ||

John started out pretty bad with lots of awkward pauses and "ummm's" while he thought of how to translate things, but he has improved greatly and does a fine job. The first week or two it really seemed like he was just some guy with another job at GOM that was the only guy that knew English or something, but iirc by the end of season 2 they had made it clear translating was his full time job. Maybe the guy didn't get the memo or was blinded by hope for a better job... When it came time to talk to them he choked and made an ass of himself instead of politely asking if there were any job openings for translators. Props to him for admitting his mistakes and explaining himself. From Tasteless/John's perspective some random guy came up and disrespected John and wanted to steal his job. Even if John's job wasn't translating and he was terrible, you would not go up to him and say "you suck, can I do it?" The incident was humorous from their perspective and Tasteless said it on air offhandedly warning others not to act like that when they meet the crew. It's not like he called the guy's name out to the world, to him it was just some anonymous guy that acted poorly and could have stayed anonymous. | ||

However. I have a feeling that the guy quoted in the OP may just be trolling and cooked up a story based on Tasteless' comments last night to get attention. | ||

Guys its the internet after all who can be sure what is true about this dude. He might for real need a job and figures that if he posts a heart felt story on a public board he might get sympathy and then in turn get a job outta it. After all he coulda sent a private letter to GOMTV instead of a nicely wrote post clearly showing off his English skills looking for a translation job perhaps?! | ||

Why does he feel the need to tell everyone else his life story, when we weren't even involved at all? He only got everyone else into the picture with this forum post. His apology should have been strictly between him and Tasteless/John and gomtv.net. What he did was like apologizing for something you did, and then accidentally spilling your drink on the other guy. Like i said earlier in the thread, he probably wanted to get this whole thing off his chest. Unless you've made similar mistakes and caused huge misunderstandings like this, you can't know what it is like to carry something like that around by yourself. The only thing making it bearable is that no one else knows about it. That all changed when Nick made this public. Although he remained anonymous, it must've dredged up an emotional cocktail of embarrassment, guilt and frustration. So he decides to explain himself and get that load off. Can you blame him? | ||

I mean who knows if this guys is telling the truth or if his story is legit? I mean its def possible that it is, but why would like 90 percent of you WITHOUT QUESTION or HESITATION just immediately defend this guy and say hes right? Guys its the internet after all who can be sure what is true about this dude. It might not even be the same guy but it doesn't really matter. Some guy made an ass out of himself, Tasteless warned others not to do the same, end of story. | ||

Random dude looked like a dick because he made an assumption that John was doing this as a side job Tasteless just assumed random dude was being a dick to John and told us a story about how some people could be judgemental | ||

Yeah, I'm not srue what the big deal is. The guy put his foot in his mouth. In the future, he should do a bit more research when angling for a job. Besides, why go to Tasteless for the job? As far as I know it's not his decision who gets hired or not. | ||

forum only makes it worse.. He was an anonymous indescript figure and now he has "come out of the wood work" for no other reason than to apologize which could be done privately.. I had even forgotten about the story when I woke up this morning, it was old news and now this just brought it up again.. Tasteless was telling a funny story about an anonymous person who came down to the Gom studio and asked to replace John; that is a fucking funny sounding story by any stretch of the imagination.. This guy going public has made it worse for himself.. I don't really think tasteless has done anything wrong.. This is almost worse than TSL_Rain's apology.. | ||

What's wrong with that? He is still an "anonymous indescript figure." We don't know his name or face; only the ID he used to post the message which was itself a smurf. Everyone, just... chill. | ||

I don't understand how it's funny to tell a story about someone and then say that they don't know what it's like to be human. Tasteless sure didn't sound like he was joking around. | ||
