I can't join the twoplustwo channel on battle.net for some reason. Did anything change (i.e. it somehow became private) or did I get myself magically banned (not that I ever talked or did anything there).

I figure the crossover between here and the politics/economics forum to be pretty damn small, but I'll tell my story anyways. If one person has a clue what I'm talking about I'll be happy.
I was playing some random 4v4s last night and end up playing in a game with a guy named Keynesianism on my team. He proceeds to take all of his probes and attack other players' workers on our team while saying random obnoxious things representative of Keynesian economic thinking, like "BORROW TO PROSPERITY!". He kills all of the zerg's probes, as well as all of mine while I shout back saying why Keynesianism is flawed. I end up quitting and messaging him saying I'm reporting him for teamkilling (which I didn't and it turns out Blizz doesn't care). We end up chatting for a while and it turns out that he's an Austrian that bought the account just to troll people with Keynes and make them negatively associate with the name. We're considering doing 2v2s, me with the name 'Austrianism' and doing some kind of economic "good cop, bad cop" routine while playing, him being my rude, economically-misguided friend.

went on a nasty losing streak in 2v2s with my main partner. he rage changes race from zerg to terran and goes on his friend's account. i play with his friend sometimes and we were already placed in silver league. we're now climbing the ladder from silver up with new races...some of the **** we see is ridiculous- ****** 3 zealot + 5 marine rushes at slow as hell timing, etc. one guy even said 'this works nearly all the time' to us.
Last night Jackitos and I finished our 2v2 placement matches. We went 1-4 in placement. Our last placement match we tried to double cannon rush and failed miserably. Then we got placed in Bronze.
We decide to play our first league game, PPvTT. As soon as the game starts, one T leaves the game. His partner was like "wtf?" Turns out he was playing random so he got screwed. He decided to continue playing anyways.
His build order started with 2 supply depots, and then it was something like 2 barracks, 3 bunkers, then another depot, then he just went all marines and a few marauders.
We sat back for awhile, I got a bunch of stalkers, Jackitos had 16 Void Rays.
We are in Bronze at the bottom of the barrel. It's kind of funny, but I felt bad afterwards.
