But you can't negate the fact that he was often swarmed the minute he posted. He'd make one comment and 15 people who didn't like him had something to say -- mostly people with nothing constructive to say at all except call him names. That would put anyone in a bad mood.
I think he took most of it in stride. Some of his comebacks were the funniest remarks I've ever read. |
I agree with Kaylena here. Faith, you're right, no... absolutely right that he went on for too long and too often, but honestly, go read again the threads, it's amazing the number of people who came out to *only* insult him, without even trying to counter his points. I find perfectly human, given his temper that he would address them one by one starting a chain of post-reply-insult-counterinsult.
I was thinking "he's crazy, he can't be right", because I was a naive blind VG lover in 2004, then in beta 3 reality struck me ala "damn, he's right". For sure I didn't come on the board to tell him "fuck you" in the beginning and I didn't come to knee at his altar when it was proven he was right, but let's give credit where credit is due.
Oh and VG threads insued some ilarity here and there, I had some good laughs about the use of the english vocabulary and its "distortions" (English is not my mother language, thus I love to learn the more colloquial and slang-ish way of speaking) and I certainly loved the Itzena's decoder. That really made me laugh a lot.
