Peeked into LK's twitter for any sort of context and the first tweet I saw was "we think he was raped by a bottle of eggnog". Man is such a charmer honestly.

I use GGautoblock. I use GGautoblock because having a twitter feed free of them makes my life much smoother.

Jason and a good portion of his fans are, unsurprisingly, on the GGautoblock list.

He's mad that I blocked him, basically. And him being him, he whipped up his audience into a "Kyle is a Dick" party.

So I block more people showing up in my feed, and the circle of life continues.

It's good if you want to get in touch with people (who use twitter) in a public but quick capacity.

It's bad for most everything else.

I kinda agree. I mean, i see the use for companies and public people to get short message to an audience without all the bloat other social media brings, but for private people, it's basically a Facebook feed.

I probably shouldn't be surprised a dude who's "I hope this person I don't like kills himself with this very specific weapon he knows exactly where to find" levels of hosed in the head is a Gator. The quick trip I just made to Google confirms it too. Not gonna lie though, there is a bit of irony in Kat supporting GG, and the two commentators he singled out as being cartoonishly immature and unprofessional don't.

Blah. I recently read a theory on Liana K's feed-- like buttons make online discourse worse, because people who like something will hit that button, while people who hate it, lacking a button, will leave a comment/send a tweet/etc. The overall effect is that the visible comments concentrate the hate.

So I'll try to balance things out by saying: both my wife and I like your videos, Kyle. They're great. And we recently got her father hooked on them by showing him all the Shakespeare Month/Summer videos. His favorite show is Slings & Arrows-- so that should give you an idea to the level of enjoyment he got from your series. =)

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
Hey, y'all wanna hear something funny?

Sometime around 2009, LordKat had just started his "Until We Win" series and hadn't even been picked up by TGWTG. His main exposure was on The Spoony Experiment forums, which I frequented at the time. One day, I talked about how I was a fan of Retsupurae, and he went on a tirade about the injustice of two people who didn't know how hard it is to make videos relentlessly harassing others online.
How's that pound cake taste, motherfucker?

When I figured it out, I chortled.

If it makes you feel better TB ironically being all for free speech and unveiling the conspiracy and all for transparency doesn't even enable comments on his channel. "Free speech" my rear end you hypocritical dipshit. Don't act superior when you can't even handle the coattails of a 'movement' you're clearly influencing.

I know I will look bad for sticking up with him but he always had some weird anxiety with comments dating back when he was exclusively doing videos on wow, so he most likely shut it off for that, but now when he is trying to fight for free speech and under covering the venom of feminist he comes off like a prick.

Oh, I know. Larry's been sending me messages on Facebook and Youtube and, god, probably Tumblr next. All demanding that we talk it out and have a "civil discussion" about why I blocked him even though we had never spoken to each other before and only interacted through him calling me various things on his public forums. I believe "Sea Lioning" is the term for this.

Basically he's been making a very good case for why he should stay blocked.

He claims he disabled youtube comments simply because he does not like the google+ integrated system. He moved over to reddit exclusively to discuss his videos, but also has quit there due to his social anxiety. He basically has admitted he can't take any criticism and claims it causes him stress to the point it might be adding to his health issues.

He's still a prick.

Ya, he seem to never taken criticism well at all. and even when I said he had this back in wow days he opinion back then boil down to "casuals are killing the game". so he was a prick in 2009 and still is in 2015.

Honestly I can post a ton about TB days making videos for wow since it just gold on how mush he was a dick or anyone who wanted to play the game without treating it like a part time job. he even started call people who stacked up for casuals "bleeding hearts".

hell just find that post he made on this forum where he made a post where the goons had a field day trolling.

Wait, Guru Larry? Holy poo poo that's a name I haven't heard of in a long time now. I remember watching him and Wez on XLeague (Which to non-Brits, is like G4 if its entire history was compressed into almost two years) when I was 12 - 13 and enjoying the stuff those two made (Retro Corner, Top Tens, Reviewmageddon. Think the first two are on Blistered Thumbs).

What the hell happened to Larry these past several years? And where's Wez?
