 ?Not saying Tasteless was out of line or anything, just find it a little bit ironic. | ||

Tasteless was bored and offered to help for the day (not asking for a job or getting someone fired, just looking for something to do cause he was bored) it turns out that tasteless was actually good at it, and then he was offered a job | ||

There are faults on both ends. That guy shouldn't have been so disrespectful to John, but I don't think the whole thing was such a big deal that tasteless should have brought it up on stream. | ||

As a community we need to step back and look at how we treat each other. The players and commentators who do the most for this community are genuinely good people and deserve more than to have their every action magnified to the point where it deserves its own forum thread. | ||

I remember Artosis was blasted for asking for donations for a new video camera during the beta, and now Tasteless is taking heat for making a joke about some nameless guy during a cast? Would you guys even be mad about this if the guy didn't make a public forum post to call attention to himself? As a community we need to step back and look at how we treat each other. The players and commentators who do the most for this community are genuinely good people and deserve more than to have their every action magnified to the point where it deserves its own forum thread. the guy the joke was made about is a member of the community by another member of the community, thus i find ur post (especially the first line of the second paragraph)to be very ironic. | ||

And translator isn't the only job a korean with good english could do. There must be lots of companies offering their services to foreigner customers where you would only need to speak english well to work there.. | ||

Not entirely, but if you have a college degree and are a native English speaker, you're basically set job wise because even if you only speak English very well you can teach intermediate English at the least or privately tutor. My friend (Korean, bilingual grew up in the US), before she graduated, got offered $1500 USD a week to teach an eight person private English class. I'm pretty sure the private tutors/classes are illegal for some reason in Korea, but you could work at a school or something. Anyway, back on topic. I think Tasteless was really out of line telling the story on air. It was highly unprofessional and unnecessary. I understand that John is a friend and honestly, I'd be quite angry if I were in Tasteless' position and the incident happened, but that's just not how you handle things especially when you're in a position like his. As ridiculous as the guy was going to Tasteless of all people, about a semi-behind the scenes GOM job, I feel Tasteless was more out of line. Doesn't really change how I feel about him at all though. | ||

All he pretty much said was that someone came into the studio and asked Tasteless and John if he could takeover John's job because he was making small errors. Then going on to say 'don't do that' etc... But for the guy, he has some courage to come out, hope that he gets himself back on track soon. | ||

Is that it? I don't see why this is even being discussed. Pretty much nothing happened. | ||

Except for the fact that the guy made a huge dramatic post which basically begs people to feel sorry for him. : / | ||

John and Tasteless walking and chatting through a corridor, suddenly a random guy appears and tell them he should get John's job because he can do a better job. ---> This is sad. If somebody insulted a friend of mine like this just on the street. My foot would end up in his ass... | ||

Also, this random guy obviously was being socially awkward , while tasteless is known for being very comfortable to talk to and communicates well. That is one of the most important things when you meet somebody and especially when your asking them for a job. And funny stories that happen at Gomtv are usually going to be included in tasteless's banter. Rather hear something new than the same old sponsor plugs. | ||
