Then look at his other posts in the thread. I dont see any post where he was bad mannered. he got into the discussion and explained some details. In some of the later posts he was very defensive, stating that he is pissed because he contributes and shares his knowledge and then gets flamed. And compare this with all the insults towards him in the whole thread. Holy crap I wonder why he didnt act even more aggressive! I have read through that thread, as well as many other threads/posts of his. They are usually very informative, but he simply doesn't take any criticism well. This has been a re-occurring issue, and the temp ban was perfectly justified by the admin's rules. For cryin' out loud, it's only two days! Artosis makes some very cogent points, but so do other players that disagree with him. I agree that people shouldn't have whined about that thread to the extent that they did, but that doesn't excuse Artosis from his behavior either. Anyways, this isn't a topic I'm willing to start a fight over, so I'm gonna go do other stuff... have an awesome day. | ||

The problem though wasn't the discussion of the topic or even the quality of the arguments being made (and some were dubious). It was all the discussion of posters themselves. it was a shame, because had people stuck to the topic itself rather than ad-hominems it could have been quite a constructive exchange. Idra is right though, a name perhaps acts as a lightning rod. Especially so when the subject matter is controversial. I'm not in favour of giving some people more slack than others, but I can imagine is must be so very frustrating as a 'name' to be unable to just say what you think without it being taken to pieces, and being called personally into question, without mercy. I think he was quite aggressive from the get-go, and that probably didn't help matters. I wonder, like when your girlfriend gets pissed off), a number of things were getting to him (e.g. the camera thread) and this was just the boiling point. Either way, I hope he comes back soon, and stays so forthright. As even if I don't necessary agree with everything he says, I find what he has to say incredibly fascinating anyway and one of the reasons I joined the site. | ||

If any of you actually looked at the SC2 strategy forum guidelines, you'd see that his post was garbage by those standards as well - no reps, no arguments besides "I said so, because I'm a kinda good zerg on Asia and Idra agrees with me". I'm surprised that thread didn't get closed much earlier, since it was terrible posting from both sides. Nony and FA had the only reasonable posts there. | ||

Once again, I repeat: "Ah, the SCII forums. Nowhere else will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." | ||

But at the same time, do you know when you see someone doing something stupid, and you know they shouldn't be doing it. But you kinda understand why they are, anyway? That's what it was like here, to me, anyway. | ||

That being said he's been really hissy for a while and i find he believes his word is untouchable, himself being the all knowing god of starcraft. Especially with starcraft 2, where the gameplay hasn't even begun to evolve like it did in sc1. So i think the ban was deserved. | ||

How would people compare Artosis' reaction to the "Why are all livestreamers such big whiners?" http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=111996 Ranging from It seems that every single person that live streams feels that they're the victim. No one can go by saying something about the stream without the streamer flipping out, pulling the most unreasonable hissy fit, and then banning everyone who says anything remotely "hurtful". I mean SERIOUSLY? Livestreamers are either the most uptight, self-righteous bastards or the whimpiest, most self-conscious individuals I have ever come into contact with. I won't point out names *coughkonadoracough* but one livestreamer decided that they'd had enough of the viewers and decided to post a whiny blog talking about how their feelings were hurt and all that other pussy stuff. to are you seriously complaining about someone who provides a free service to you at a ridiculous hour for no reward whatsoever and puts up with thousands (not one or two) bitching internet trolls a week? i can't believe someone as juvenile as you is allowed to legally vote. appreciate what you have, and stop being such a brat in chat. EDIT: i'm surprised at how many people are agreeing with the OP. you are all pathetic single children. this is unbelievable, I thought TL had more respectable people on it. | ||

It's been noticeable in his replies to peoples posts in some of his previous threads as well. It's similar to NeverGG's ban in the fashion that he was playing martyr, but he has been doing it for an extended length of time where it has progressively gotten worse. NeverGG would have been alright if she kept up her regular posting excluding the whole Flash project deal. QFT.. exactly my thoughts. Seriously, exactly. | ||

Btw, It's still fucking happening. Incontrol, yea let me just pick a name out of a hat and hope he's online and has mod access in the vent. Chill, what kind of attitude is that? Like seriously, how does a good well meaning post (possibly slightly misplaced) turn into a 'fuck you idiot, you should be banned'? Did my post seriously bother you that much? I am beyond disbelief. | ||
