Very classy because he really didn't need to do that especially through a forum that is so public as a GomTV broadcast. | ||

He told a story about some guy openly offending a friend and a person that people are fans of in the community. Note, the most important thing here is, he DID NOT give this guys name or screen name. The guy was completely anonymous. If he did call the guy out directly, then I would think that was pretty low, but he didn't. The only reason we know who this guy is, is because he, HIMSELF, said it was. Don't publicly apologize. No one knew it was you. You don't need to apologize to us. You just come off as a drama queen. Apologize to Tasteless and John in private. That is a real apology. Also, no offense, but to all the people who are giving this guy props for saying he was sorry, I don't understand you. You don't get points for doing something you are supposed to do. Especially if you decide to give an attention seeking, long winded one over two forums. You say that you were really nervous and what you said wasn't exactly what you meant. You sound socially awkward and not comfortable in front of people in high stress situations. You would probably be pretty bad at John's job. Next time, I would recommend you go through the proper channels to apply for a job, or at least be a bit more polite and tactful. Don't take any of this as an attack on you, just my opinion. Well said, definitely agree with you. It was a totally anonymous rant by tasteless, no one would have known who it was other than the guy himself, but since he decided to make a post about it, now everyone knows his online identity. What tasteless did was just to defend his friend and hope no insensitive people just randomly walks in and says he can do a better job. That randomguy might be able to but it's not for him to decide whether or not he can. | ||

Obviously that individual was very sincere in his apology and that's why it was so awesome that Tasteless responded in a public forum back to him. Plus I really like that these two forums exist in the Starcraft community specifically for this to take place. It's a very special environment. | ||

The person through out his post explained how wrong he was for doing what he did and just wanted to explain it and then apologize for it. Wow that was really hard to read what you guys had posted. | ||

Especially to a specific thread on teamliquid.net/gomtv.net I also don't think that this will get bigger because he apologized. In fact I think this will quickly go away now that it's no longer a controversy. So I would give credit to Tasteless for apologizing and maybe even for a good PR decision. | ||

Anyone thinking Tasteless meant that this random guy was below human is obviously way off base. | ||

I highly doubt Tasteless or John would have wanted to see him again and waste their time as they're preparing for the stream. He should've just made a shorter apology without all the self pity. | ||

There was no reason for it, and in doing so, he added a new variable to the issue between him and Tasteless, which is community opinion. If he would have kept the issue to himself, and approached Tasteless in private to apologize, it would have been much more honest and sincere. Your premise is wrong so far that it's nothing and there is no reason for the apology. It is something or there is a reason for it once it was clear that what this individual had done insulted Tasteless and or John so far that Tasteless made a comment about it during a broadcast. Secondly if you think it's easy for a random person to go up to Nick Plott and start a conversation go ahead and try it. If you find that hard maybe your next option would be to publicly apologize to the community that had seen what Tasteless had said about the incident. I applaud both the person that SAW the reason for the apology and also for Tasteless who decided to respond in kind with his acknowledgement of the situation. | ||

I think the OP could have gotten a hold of Tasteless in much the same way he did the first time, if he really needed to. User was warned for this post | ||
