You need comedy central to reinforce your pathetically small political viewpoint. Since day 1 the facts have been pointing away from this poor innocent young man being just that. But it wont matter, in two years you'll joke to your friends about this incident and read what you want to read. Good riddance to me im out, I said that so you wouldnt have to. User was temp banned for this post. I was hoping for something a bit more tin foil hat like than this. | ||

Think about that for a second. The main complaint against Shauni is that he is perceived to be a misogynist of sorts. So if I were to assume you carry this belief that A. Shauni is a misogynist, and B. misogyny is wrong because it is a dehumanization of women, then you're doing exactly what you're against, which is dehumanizing a human being. If you are to say "Well, he deserves it", then you have to ask yourself: why does anyone deserve anything bad in retaliation for immoral or unethical statements or actions? There is really no reason, but I understand these sorts of issues carry a lot of emotional weight. To my knowledge, Shauni has not said anything to the effect of "Women are human trash", but has been critical of the way modern society has conditioned the women he's known to behave. Or maybe he could have been referring to the fact that A. Shauni doesn't learn from his mistakes. B. Shauni doesn't want to admit his problems. C. Shauni has been on this site for literally more than a decade and has been doing the same thing. What Shauni specifically posts really has nothing to do with why he got banned, it's the fact that he never tries to redeem himself or improve. Instead consciously choosing to post in a way that any human being would have noticed incites negative emotions from his fellow TL-ers. I know this because he frequently responds to responses on his comments. "Why does anyone deserve anything bad in retaliation for immoral or unethical statements or actions?" What? That's the whole point behind social construct of penalty, justice, and even rehabilitation. Rehabilitation involves taking away certain privileges and the innate recognition of mistakes, even in the most liberally realized places like Norway you still get sent to community service and jail for doing bad things because you want to deter immoral behavior and promote moral behavior. If you really believe that then why aren't you arguing against mods banning people from TL, because obviously that's also something bad in retaliation for unethical statements or actions. | ||

The only thing I can say for sure that from TL perspective, Shauni (however I may have disliked him) was just sitting on the top of a very flat iceberg, whose volume and shape is not really changed by blowing off an erratic snowflake from it. See right now it is all being relatively contained in the Dating Thread. I think of it like the containment unit from Ghostbusters. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/YIIu0c6.png) | ||

There's only one or two semi-valid early aggro openings for T, and as players get better, even those holes close. Eventually the Protoss all ins early game will close by Terrans going for "safer" builds, but these builds will have to be nearly identical, setting up their midgame for a playstyle they didn't want, while also giving free reign for protoss to FE and get a huge economy early, and Terran has no response. Zerg is largely immune to this because the hatches and injects being able to overdrone after shutting down an all in, or the fact that Zerg has closed the holes in the timings means that Protoss no longer even try vs Zerg, which means there's no making early units for Zerg to begin with. When I look up Brood War builds, there's an entire Page full of 1 base aggressions, 1 base all ins, 2 base aggressions, "macro heavy" builds, and so on. Expanding is extremely rewarding in this game because of how fast the "macro" mechanics translate expansions into an accelerating growth of economy. The largest issue here, being, of course, the ease as buying units, since the cost strucure of units is almost completely the same as it was in Brood War. Marines, zerglings, dragoons, stalkers, zealots, etc. It's a lot easier to buy those stalkers which have better pathing, extra abilities, and so on in SC2 than it is to buy goons in SC1. As long as the cost structure of units takes so much advantage from the "new and improved 'macro' mechanic" of SC2, things will be stale and the Protoss will have this "book of bullshit". Protoss can FE, poke, and be immune to early game attack or retaliation from Terran, and Zerg to a lesser extent. The game doesn't feel dynamic and strategic, they make it feel like Checkers or Tic tac Toe. Where's the spectator FUN in watching people do no attacks early game or watching the same zealot/stalker/MSC poke every single game where it doesn't really do anything if the other player beats them off, while both of them FE as "standard" and nothing happens for a few minutes because macro mechanics make grabbing bases far more important than trying to attack your opponent for the first 10 minutes? User was warned for this post for explaining why the Protoss book of bullshit exists and being on topic and I just have a bug up my ass User was temp banned for this post. + Show Spoiler + On August 19 2014 07:21 Socup wrote: When's the last time an early game protoss all in has killed a zerg in pro play? Funny stuff. Any macro build has within them designs to hold off early game aggression because there's no point in going macro if you just straight up die to some early game aggression or all in every time, and because of that, because of the exponential rewards of going macro, the person who goes macro and gets "more stuff" and holds off that all in has basically won right then and there. Unless the other player was Protoss of course. User was warned for this post hahah, I love these species that have no sense of gettin rekt and just keep going | ||
