Ok, this was only a cpl weeks while it goes unnoticed but u c my point I hope.
the more time prot makes the mistake the more it costs *him*. so yea, more time seems to only make him more likely to fight for his score.
bolded: The issue, that prot fails to make clear, usually, isn't that he thinks people dislike him because of his sexual orientation (at least the 4-5 times i've witnessed these arguments), it's that they dislike him and then use homophobic slurs to troll him (or they're just part of the trolls vocabulary). The claim by prot (which i agree with) is that this in unacceptable and if he happened to be black and disliked and people chose to call him a ni**er (not meaing it racially, just using it as a negative word) would be treated way different. This gets further muddied because, as has been pointed out (and should be, obv), prot is guilty of the same thing! The difference ( a huge distinction, imo) is that prot does it in an emotional burst and apologizes. he may make excuses but doesn't pretend it's okay. People are emotional, people have racial/homophobic slurs in their vocabulary (I know I do). Then people learn how insensitve public use of these terms are and try not to use them anymore! Then there's other people who fundamentally disagree that a word should be taboo, know they don't mean anything racial/homophobic with it and think people are overreacting. a viewpoint that has merit but, imo, is ultimately ignorant. then there's actual closeted racists/bigots/misogynists (either aware of it or subconsiously) that are okay with using these words because they kinda believe the slurs are warranted or w/e such people think. :P so yea, that was a ramble and i don't know if I'm being clear!

i mean yea, he prob does deserve a lot of hate, prob not as much as he gets, but a lot. I happen to like the guy but he's super delusional to think there aren't plenty of reasons to dislike him. I also think he's prob quite intelligent, just not the best with the whole logic/critical thinking thing! :P
/rant sorry gg kthx
oh and, 4k compensation was unnecessary/excessive, no MU on a future package or a tiny freeroll would prob be fair. good on investors for returning funds!
