the only thing I'm going to say is I find it fishy when an organization thinks "omg he wants a lawyer to look over his contract. he must be stalling". i feel that that is a truly ridiculous philosophy and if there is a decent sized contract there should always be a lawyer.

At first I was happy when it seemed like people were offended by the cat photos, but then there were a bunch of comments responding positively to them. I guess that's the problem with a non-Reddit forum structure; I have no idea what the consensus is.

We should be PISSED that he tried to defuse this very serious situation by throwing in meme photos. He's insulting your intelligence. He thinks you're just a dumb jackoff and if he throws in cats, you'll forget the actual issue.

Fuck him.

I love kittens.

But I won't fall for your smoke & mirrors.

Nice try.

LOL, this is exactly what I was thinking, but still those kittens kinda blew my mind lol, I didn't expect that, I wish the mOw and the players best of luck but I just hope that Fuzer or no other players get ripped off, if they did. T_T

Nice pandering to the crowd with a stupid kitten meme. Do you want to be taken seriously or not?

Judging by the replies most of TL has no respect and is willing to be patronized like that anyway. Good job on reading the general level of self-respect here.

I was looking forward to MoWs statement, waiting to see the other side of the story.

Kittens on an official statement in such a serious matter?

You guys are a joke. End of story.

MoW are psychology masters. No one even remembers what happened with Fuzer as they're all so pissed about the kittens.

I just want MoW to know that I will never EVER support any of its events or anything like that because of how shocked I am by this scandal.

Yeah, as others have said, this statement wasn't exactly the best. Kittens aside, it didn't really seem to give the entire story from all of the confirmed things from the thread. I usually am weak to these kinds of statements, but for once (and without being a total negative nancy or cynic), I could kind of tell that said statement appeared to skirt some of the issues brought up. The posted FXOBoss statement was quite on point.

While the kittens were somewhat unprofessional and made it hard to take them seriously, imho it's also somewhat of an overreaction to claim that the kitten images were assumed to defuse the situation entirely. It was a rather silly addition in order to try to make light of the situation and/or appeal to the crowd (and which was, of course, ironic when considering the point of the statement), but I really don't think MoW expected a bunch of kitten photos to remedy everything. I find it dubious that any organization would insult people's intelligence at that level, really...

Overall, at least the whole scandal seems to have mostly abated by now.

MoW to me feels now more like MoF. I don't care about all the finer points of these contracts, just the fact that Fuzer wasn't paid back what belongs to him is enough for me to make the boss seem like a dick. The fact that the fee was paid beforehand and cannot be refunded, I wonder if they ever told Fuzer? Also, why on earth couldn't he? I just can't see it.. Not to mention all the shadiness and misleading wording in his statement(s).
