might i remind people of this particular man

Tada who guessed it?!

who´s bullshit was tolerated and enjoyed by our humble community for far longer then a reasonable time?

Yes Ruff might be an Asshole, yes his insult was highly inappropriate, but isn´t it just as mean to purposefully unleash a shitstorm at someone that costs him the only thing that he holds dear? Am i the only one that considers this a way over the top reaction by everyone involved? including every poster in this thread.

I really think this thread should stop the hunt to destroy ruff though, nothing good will come from it. He did apologize (even if some might not like his apology) and he got punished. He fucked up badly, the apology doesn't change what he did, but at the same time you have to give people a chance to change themselves. Hundreds of people sitting here bashing him into the ground isn't really doing the right thing either.

Hunt to destroy ruff? I'm assuming being a low NA GM wasn't his job, and this thread was announcing him being kicked off the team, so the damage has already been dealt. Also, a lot of the comments are people arguing about the severity of the punishment, not bashing ruff.

Not even IdrA would have said what ruff did knowing what minigun has gone through. And how can being on IvD be the only thing that a grown man holds dear? lmao if it were so important to him I'm sure he could stop himself from being a douche on ladder.

IdrA was fired for insulting his (or EGs) fans, not for saying David Kim should be raped with a Tire Iron or all the insults he threw at other players.

Not saying everyone is doing it, but there are still people on every page kicking the guy who's on the ground, which isn't better than what ruff did. Obviously arguing about what's appropriate action or not isn't what I was adressing.

That's the thing with forums. Everyone is forming their opinion on the matter and posting it and you get amplified effects of a collective opinion that probably seems too much.

I really enjoy TB's expert opinion on how not to be an insensitive idiot. Plus the people he is arguing with aren't really worth well constructed argument. The flaming is good enough for them.

To be fair, this one does have an inkling of relevance to TB if you've followed the preceding events. So it is in some of his interest to take note of what occurs in this thread. (Still probably unhealthy and probably unwise for him to do so, nevertheless.)

Furthermore, it's not too unfair a comparison, if you've bothered to follow the reasoning (not to mention you've selectively overlooked that he also pooled car mechanics in said comparison, unless you believe it's narcissistic to compare yourself to a car mechanic): an expert in the field had greater weight in his opinion than do others less experienced, though it is only one factor to an opinion, one that can be superceded by other factors such as other contextual facts or compelling arguments with supporting evidence.

I agree what Ruff said was wrong, but one must look at the context of everything. I have watched Ruff's stream for about 2 years now. I probably watch his stream more than anyone.

Root players have been sniping him in the last 2 months. Not only sniping, but they have came into his chat and bm him. They have said things that have crossed the line. Was anything done? This is why I don't respect Root players. I have seen Root players like fayth, drewbie, caliber all guilty of that. There are probably more Root players but I can't recall the names at this time. They made it obvious they were sniping him as they were in the chat while playing Ruff. In addition, if you look at caliber's match history, 60-70% of his games were against Ruff.

I don't agree with IVD's punishment. I am assuming they watch Ruff's stream. If they did, they would understand the events that pushed Ruff to lash out. The punishment is way too severe. I think a 30 day suspension would be more appropriate. I hope IVD will reconsider. Root players should be punished as well for their actions.

Team ROOT isn't exactly putting its best foot forward itself when Minigun goes to Twitter to address the situation, and his teammate iaguz comments "What a cunt".

Well, is a little jerk. Life threatening disease isn't really something I joke about or mock people for having them isn't really a way to be showered with compliments.

Well I read your arguments with the postings with a little bit of amusement, and I must say that there are some things I partly have to disagree with you. First of all, in the internet nothing counts for most of the people, neither expierience nor a scientific proven argument. Also I don't think that it is good for a person of public intrest to get into "post fights", because I think people will take you les for serious, but that's more my opinion than anything proven (hey we've got an opinion).
