It's been less than two weeks, and Charoisaur bites the dust again. He should've known to lay off the balance whining for a while until the mods forgot about him (or got distracted by all the other balance whiners in LRs).

Is the recently banned Wrath the former WrathSCII? It seems so from a casual search. I have met him recently in BW related topic, how does a SC2 fan become a "BW elitist"?
|
Yes. He was barely a SC2 fan. He was always super negative while he was here.
|
Yeah, the great mystery is why did he have SC2 in his name in the first place
|
Do they even know about his SC2 history? Would they ostracize him if they knew?

Laertes was just temp banned for 1 week by EvilTeletubby. That account was created on 2010-08-21 03:14:37 and had 816 posts.

It sends a more powerful message to the bannee with other people coming in and siding against you (although it is fellow nazi mods that always stick together). Now it's easy for the bannee to discount it as the mod getting mad and banning when he can't handle the truth, lulz, etc.

There surely are fine BW fans, no doubt, there are many in the forum. But there are also people aggressive about it and people who are looking to start a BW>SC2 fight at every corner. Maybe I am not giving justice to Wrath, but he seemed to me like one of those.
edit: If you want an example (can't quote properly form a closed thread, but it's his post:
I say time to close this thread until more info OR (based on my biased perspective) limit the discussion to the BW fans as the remake is for them. SC2 players have their own game. We do not go spamming that Blizzard should do this and this so we can migrate. We simply hate SC2 and keep ourselves away from it. I think the same should happen.
The "us an them", "our game their game" mentality together with the open declaration of hate for SC2 is quite enough for me to put him into that box.

Take a sc:bw fan that is also following sc2.
If he us just a fan of sc:bw, not an elitist, chances are that he will not talk much about sc:bw in the sc2 forums, or in sc2 stream chats, etc. he will talk about sc2 because he is a bit of an sc2 fan as well. You probably won't know that he is a sc:bw fan.
If he is a sc:bw elitist however, he will take every chance to mention how much better sc:bw is than sc2. There will be doubt that he is a sc:bw fan, as well as an elitist.
By that effect, if you look at people in sc2 context, you will see a lot more bw elitists than fan-not-elitist for that reason. So for sc2 fans, it's seem like almost all bw fans are bw elitists. And I assume there is a similar effect the other way around as well, making the bw-scene think that all sc2 fans are assholes that like to shit on sc:bw (which is partially true, but still). I think.
I personally was a sc:bw fan, and if I'm allowed to I'd still count myself as a sc:bw fan although I don't follow the scene much any more. But when I watch sc2 I almost never talk about sc:bw.
I find that when people in the sc:bw forum talks about sc2, it's a bit more nuanced discussion. Some are angry AF at how blizzard destroyed the bw scene to pave way for sc2 ("saviOr already ruined it...", "no it was Blizzard!!", etc), while others acknowledge that sc2 is a different game and wish them luck, but not the game for them.
Agree? Also, sorry for another long post in ABL. At least it's a double post, which makes it a bit more of a shit-post, right? edit: it's not even a double post, damn you Oppie!

Yeah Wrath is most certainly an elitist. There's plenty of regular BW fans, he just happens to not be one of them.

SC2 vs BW arguments are actually the worst.
