This thread is for discussing recent bans. Don't discuss other topics here. Take it to website feedback if you disagree with a ban or want to raise an issue. Keep it civil.NOTE: For those of you who want to find the actual ABL thread where the bans are posted. Please look in here: https://tl.net/forum/closed-threads/ |
That is so god damn stupid.
Any CEO announcement would need to be public because activision is a publicity owned company. There is no secret CEO making calls. No one makes decisions about things like WCS at the last minute, let alone approve them. And Blizzard still has a President who can sign off on things.
But this is Jimmy and he lives in his own conspiracy theory filled objectivist head cannon.

Every time I read "head cannon," I first think people are metaphorically imagining him firing off rounds from his head. Then I go with the more likely misspelling of another word.
|
I’ve found that Autocorrect is not fond of the word canon. It likes cannon a lot more.
|
Stupid autocorrect. Always. It does two bad ones in my political posts too.
|
why was that jimmy post banned though? any context is entirely lost on me. that shits hilarious without any though.

He's a wannabe journalist who imagines he has top secret info about the inner office politics of Blizzard. He basically worships various upper management figures in Activision Blizzard, pretends that he talks business with them and knows their innermost thoughts including what their favourite games are, posts some bullshit financial figures to give it a veneer of respectability, frequently contradicts himself, and creepily calls Mike Morhaime as "Uncle Mike". The last one, I kid you not.
He's been doing it for years and often misleads people who have no idea that he has been doing this for years. I can only guess that waxangel got fed up.

List of repeated, offhanded references I won't miss now that JimmyJ is gone: 1. Jackie Brown (and Pam Grier) 2. Warren Moon 3. Tecmo Bowl 4. anything about going to Buffalo Bills games

This posts probably says it best. I was just about to type something like this but much less polite when he got banned:

So he quit. He made damn sure in his farewell statement he had been relegated to "Blizzard Fan Status" and had zero decision making abilities.
Mike Morhaime is the greatest. That sad look on Mike's face at Blizzcon was because he was sad for the fans because he knew this was coming. He was not sad because he lost his position at Blizzard.. he didn't care. I saw Morhaime standing beside a building he bought in the 2000s for Blizzard to work in. It was a celebration ceremony for Blizzard. The guy bought a fucking giant building worth millions and he must've had $100 worth of clothes on. What a guy. damn...
To Blizzard I say : " you called down the thunder .... now reap the whirlwind " Don't you get tired of talking bs dude? Pretending to understand things you know nothing about and yet writing with such conviction. You went from "understanding" the rts market and now graduated to reading the mind of a blizzard founder.

you guys got me all excited thinking that a long term poster got permed and there was some juicy story behind this. turns out its a 2 day temp -_-
|
It's probably more of that it is unexpected. No-one thought he would ever get banned for shitting up threads with his continuously vomiting stream of bullshit. It's not as if making stuff up and generally being an arrogant asshole is normally bannable. 2 days yeah ok, it's a minor ban, but I think it's more of a case of finally, he got banned if only for 2 days.

I thought the expression was “sown the wind, now reap the whirlwind”. That’s what I recall from “Bomber” Harris.

Wasn;t there a thread with recently banned users with their posts and reason? I somehow cannot find it, but my memory is like a sieve. A steady stream of memories but none can be held

Golden quote, thank you.
