There are some downright hateful remarks in this thread and Sheth has done nothing to deserve them. I wouldnt really call it blind hate tho its in direct response to behavior they dont agree with? | ||

The amount of people on high horses using unfitting comparisions is really saddening me. You know people get ill from living/working in an environment that does not work out for them? It's not like the living condition of a practice house is a secret. Would you volunteer to teach kids English in a third world country, then go there and be like, whoa... no running water? I didn't sign up for this! | ||

Blind seemed more diplomatic and indeed more accurate, since as always, these people know very little about the thing they're attacking. Today is Witchhunt day it would seem when it comes to nice people in this community. Who's next, Sean Plott? | ||

Just like some other "professions" it requires a big sacrifice to be made(family, friends, etc), in order to be pursued to the fullest. The point how you define the profession of the progamer, people who still think it's some part time hobby (which it can be, don't get me wrong) are not willing to make such high sacrifices, other people want more, and want to give everything to become the absolute best, thus, they forsake what their life has been up until that moment. It boils down to how one wants the game to influence his life. It's the same decision between "i want to do this forever" or "just for the time being, no worries". Many jobs require people to decide on such important matters, if you think a bit about it. | ||

Personally I've been in many cities around korea and the only one where I wouldn't expect to be able to get by with just English would be Gyeongju since like 80%+ of the population seems to be old people and it's really traditional. Granted, you can't go into every single restaurant, even in the center of seoul, and expect them to speak English to you. However, being hungry in seoul and finding a restaurant where you'll have no problem ordering food without english? Should take 10 minutes, even in suburbs such as yongin. Because ordering food is the only thing you want to do in a foreign country. I know lots of Koreans and even the ones I met abroad who had spent a whole semester studying nothing but English I found it difficult to have a meaningful conversation with. At some point, you just want to discuss world events, or Lady Gaga outfits or whatever floats your boat. In a country like South Korea, that is often close to impossible if you do not speak Korean. So you're bound to be unhappy even if you're able to shop and order food. | ||

So should all 'high profile community members' be exempt from criticism of any kind? I skimmed through the thread looking for the hateful, malicious posts you speak of, and found nothing. | ||

I, being asian myself, have had a chance to be in a monk hood for a while.I had to shaved my head, always stay in monk robes, only eat 2 meals a day (morning&lunch after that you can only drink water), have to wake up as early as 4 or 5a.m. everyday, you cant wear underwear, u cant touch any woman, you have to pray a lot during the day, you cant wear any shoes nor sandals, you occasionally go into the jungle to do stuff related to Bhuddhist(year still no shoes) and many many other things that i dont wanna keep going on but my point is : i most likely considered myself Atheist BUT i still did it just for the sake of my mom eventho i never thought i'd ever do it in my life, yet, i tough'd it out w/o complainin much. I always enjoyed watching Sheth plays.IMO, he has potentials to be one of the best foreigner Zerg or even one of the best zerg in the world if he gets to stay in Korea like Idra. But hey, people are different if he thinks its best for him then its his choice. | ||

Many jobs require people to decide on such important matters, if you think a bit about it. Korean training is effective because they put in unrivalled hours. I am sceptical if it is efficient though, so "best" is not an attribute I'd give it easily. If you say you can only succeed like the Koreans do when you ditch your family and private life to a large extent, something is wrong. | ||

Who's next, Sean Plott? nobody is attacking him as a person (he's still one of the nicest guys out there), rather as a professional. even he wrote (page 3) that what he did was a dick move. why are you so angry? p.s. you remind me of InControl before NASL, you should reallly pay more attention to your community interaction being a high profile caster. it's a big audience out there, forum flaming days should be reserved for smurf TL accounts...  | ||
