Well it's certainly good of him to explain what actually happened. I think he really needed to get it off his chest so he can start to put it behind him and move on. I for one know how easy it is to make mistakes like that and suffer the consequences.

Maybe he should just go down to the studio sometime and just apologise face to face, not for Nick or John's benefit, but for his. Anyways, best of luck to the guy.

I hope Tasteless/John reads that post. Sounds like a lot of it was just caused by a misunderstanding.

Exactly what i got from this. I could see him wanting to say something instead of it just boiling under your skin.

Hopefully he gets a proper shoutout!

I just hope everything works out okay in the end for this guy because he is a good person and deserves respect.

I think that to a certain extent tastless was sort of justified in wat he said especially in this economy, think about how would u feel if some came in and effectively said fire him and hire me becuase im better at his job.

At the same time i dont think that the last thing that tastless said was called for, probly should apologize for that part. my 2cs

very unnecessary for Tasteless to do it on air, personal feelings aside, you don't do something like that in such a callous way

I understand everyone makes mistakes but im kind of surprised how many people are saying tasteless crossed the line. Where else in this world do people walk up to professionals and say they could do a better job? Even if the guy meant no harm it was really disrespectful to John and a really dumb way to go about trying to get a job. I mean have you ever heard of email or an application or something. No other place of business would allow you to do something so arrogant or brash. I would never hire someone who even thought that was a good idea. Tasteless and John we overly nice in my opinion just to meet with the guy and then he tells them he could do a better job then John. The real kicker is that he didn't even know what Johns job was. Nice of him to apologize but it was a really dumb thing to do and I don't see how anyone can say Tasteless was out of line. Obviously people think walking up to people and asking for jobs while disrespecting them is completely fine so Tasteless made sure to address the issue so no one else would be that ignorant.

I think this is making a big deal out of a whole lot of nothing.

So some rambunctious fan said that he wanted to do John's job. Why did Tasteless feel the need to say anything to begin with? Like celebrities don't get strange offers from fans all the time? Like if I send a letter to Conan O'Brien saying that I want to be his producer because I think I could do a better job, should I get shouted out on the air?

I think it's nice the guy apologized and all, but I really don't see why this has turned into a cross community drama.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Was completely unnecessary by both the guy and Tasteless. I'm personally not even interested in stuff like this, keep it off the air entirely. It's not even a funny story.

But that's not at all why Tasteless said what he did. Nothing in his speech even remotely related to telling other people that there's a "proper application procedure" or whatever. Tasteless was wrong to do this in public, and the guy who caused this was wrong to go about this the way he did. If Tasteless looked at John after the guy left and said, "What an asshole." That's fine, it's between him and John, but this was public. And I think that we'll see an apology. Bad situation and misunderstanding, that's all.

I agree with u that it was disrespectfull and offesnive but does it give someone to the right to infer that, the person is subhuman i personally have an issue with that part of wat he said.

Maybe its just a cultural thing but where i grew up and live if u infer to someone as subhuman e.g. dog, etc they are more likely than not going to beat the crap out of u.

I kinda feel bad for everyone involved in this. Hopefully, this awkward event will soon just be water under the bridge.

He really should go down and just clear things up, he would feel so much better.
Once thats all said and done with, I'm sure tasteless will say on air that he came down and apologized. Would make him feel 100 times better then.

Ok number one Tasteless is not Conan O'Brien lol. The starcraft community is actually really small and our "stars" Are just average people just like everyone else.


Now the way this guy went about trying to get a job was terrible, everyone knows that.
To get a job like that you have to make an application, and most of the time you have to know people that are involved with gomtv, you arn't just going to get a job like that ever. That's like me going up to tasteless and saying "Hey tasteless i'm a great caster and I'm better then you let me take your job." How stupid is that?


The guy who asked for the job is an idiot, and it's not a big deal anymore.

It doesn't sound like Tasteless thought it was that big of a deal. Although, if you're in Tasteless' position with a random guy who comes up saying that your fellow employee and friend doesn't do that good of a job, how can you react? It's not he was insulting you, he was just defending his friend. Everyone's making this into something much bigger than what it is, especially that guy. The bad experience probably heightened his sensitivity to the event.

Starcraft drama never strays far from Beverly Hills 90210.
The guy said something stupid, Tasteless corrected him, end of story.

I'd just like to put in my .02 and say it was very unprofessional for Tasteless to out someone like that on the air, regardless of what was said off air...

Wow, I can't think of a worse way to wreck someone's day. When someone you hold up so high pushes you down so far... I mean, there are very few things in the world worse than that for a single person to have to deal with personally.
