You can do awesome work for years, have one smudge on your record and people start hating you. Sad times we live in TeamLiquid, sad times indeed. What does Liquid have to do with it ? Specialy the Team. All this came to light on Reddit, don't be talking out of your ass. | ||

i know you know the bad manner was wrong and not needed, but i want you to know that i for one do not think an apology was required at all, just a clarifying statement should have been enough, i hope your next employer values you higher than EG did. | ||

Stupid mistake by Orb, either be 100% of the time profesional, or get a fanbase like Idra and you can say what you like, and offend anyone anyday without risk. Has IdrA ever lied about any of his bm/profanities/etc? Specifically when EG has made a statement saying that they believed him? To me this is the biggest fault of orb, if he had've just admitted it immediately I think it would have all blown over. Do you really expect him to get away with making his employers look like fools by backing him when he was blatantly lying? | ||

Not sorry for using racist derogative terms that any idiot who has a normal job shies away from, but rather, I'm sorry that you take offense. I guess he had to write an apology and did it in the most unapologetic manner. I agree with Orb, he was just using the n word as a cuss word and is obviously not a racist, but can't take away from the fact that he's an idiot. Stupid actions have consequences. Do I think people overreact to the N word. Yes. Do I think he's a complete moron for spouting that kind of garbage given he's in a public facing role. Yes. too bad since I did like his casting style. other than when he puts down the players, he's at least analytical and intelligent and doesn't have a heavy accent. | ||

Actualy yes, he could have got away with it with a warning or short suspention at most, people how ever complained to sponsors, wich made EG react to the extreme messurement it did. | ||

You jumped to an assumption. I am aware of the entire back story. I never even said Teamliquid had anything to do with this fiasco. I said "sad times we live in TeamLiquid" Did I say "oh gosh TeamLiquid you guys are so wrong and bad"? No, I did not. | ||

No your whining after you post something that made no sense at all, and now your offended. But considering this is the internet you can't lose face and now reply even more nonsense. If you think that was aggressive, i wish you the best of luck with your future posts and it reply's they are going to get. | ||

Everyone deserves to know in no uncertain terms that this behavior is not OK. However, everyone should be given a second, or perhaps even third chance. I think that you "get it" now. | ||

Well then I guess we just have differing opinions, if I was CEO and one of my employees lied to me and made me look bad, I would fire them in a second. I could forgive his other transgressions, however I would not tolerate blatant lying (and accusing other people of slander), especially the way he did it, in the slightest. | ||
