Spyderbite - What happened?

Crabbok · 10-15-2009, 11:46 AM

Disclaimer - I apologize if this flame isn't up to par, but I feel the discussion that results from it could have epic potential.

I hadn't seen much of this guy lately, but I had noticed that on an SOE message board, his title had changed, apparently he had been kicked down a notch. Then I've heard he was fired from ZAM, and I've even heard that he has been BANNED from the official forums!

It's one thing to be a PRO-SOE Fanboi. I can understand that some people feel that way, and Spyderbite, I've never gotten into an argument with you, but on top of all that behavior you come here and post stuff like this:

120 pages of posts on the official forums over a Legendary piece of loot. Classic. You people (the Rant/Rage/Quit folks) will commit internet suicide over a plushy. hehe

You remind me of the guy who walks into a Nazi-Biker Bar, wearing a Star of David around your neck!

So what happened? Did he get fired? Did he get banned from the SOE boards? if so why?

Oh and before I forget, for your viewing pleasure:

Can't see any tits crabbok, but I'll assume they're being blocked by work.

I wanna hear more about him being banned from the official forums. How the fuck does that happen? Was he a little toothy while going down on the devs?

Yeah I'm pretty curious, especially since Gage commented on this in a recent thread.

I really hope this thread delivers.

/sits and waits

August 8th entry. I'm not quite sure why he got fired from ZAM, but I imagine he just did something to piss Calthine off.

Permanently suspended.

Interesting. He says he was banned for giving someone friendly advice about referencing someone who went through people's PMs... and he says that EQ2 people must have assumed he was talking about them. I suspect he's downplaying it.

and thx for that Gage!

Holy crap. I just went from glee (at him getting banned) to sympathy (for getting banned for no reason) to lack of understanding (why the fuck doesnt he tear into the retards who banned him) to antipathy (at him still defending SOE morons and their crappy LON shit) to repugnance (at him whoring his moneybag out for publicity).

Fixed.

And this is awesome:

Besides, I'm not taking this personally. Unlike the person who thwacked me in to silence on that particular forum. He/She jumped to conclusions and reacted without a dialogue first.

In my opinion, it is probably best that this person is at the bottom of the corporate ladder instead of in a position which may give them the power to dismiss people from their jobs.

Our Unemployment rate would probably be much higher in such a world with people who terminate employees based on assumptions.

Just a note since I know you read this, if you weren't such an ass to everyone, maybe the assumption wouldn't have been made.

Took me a while to read it. I had to peel my eyes away from the first pic, to be honest.
