Oh come on, how do people miss such obvious sarcasm on Zeta's part ?? He's got a thicker skin than that! It was just a joke. That is pretty funny though that you'd think he'd run tattle tale over something as silly as this... Maybe it's worth it for the lulz now since some thought he might be Ian himself...
If it were a joke, then why did Zeta go back and edit out the word 'a$$hole' in his post? Secondly, why is he lying about who he was trying to reply to? His post was yelling about "digging stuff up." I did zero of that, and since he lost his cool with technozombie for no legit reason, he's trying to pretend it was directed at me. Pathetic, but standard for Zeta. He never apologized for calling gredler a racist, after making a bunch of bullshit assumptions about him.
* Well, the two don't have to be connected (
deleting an insult v. his sarcastic bluff/joke), but if I had to guess, he went back, reviewed, and decided (rightfully!) that it wasn't so justified calling techno an a$$hole after all, just for being overly suspicious and insinuating there's something wrong with both hating these types of Youtube shows and actually being friends with one of the hosts whose show you're trashing.
* Is he lying or admitting to mistakenly responding to the wrong person ?? It's very questionable to make a "mistake" like that, yeah, but whatever.
* I clicked your links, right, forgot about that, Zeta "initiated" Gredler into the time-honored tradition of eventually being called a racist over the Internet. As a leftie, it's in his hack nature to yell racist at someone eventually, for voting republican or getting anywhere near issues where racial relations could play a role (if a white guy with "white privilege"), such as the case in question with [gangsta] rap music, etc. So I'm a racist, you're a racist, Gredler too, racism-everywhere, it's all good. Heh-heh. You just have to laugh that kind of libel off by such people.
On this tangent, I'd also agree that the true mark of an a$$hole is one who never apologizes. Neither excess is good, going on "apology tours" and looking foolish or *never* apologizing given hatefulness, arrogance, pride, ego, lacking empathy, etc. Sometimes, if you can later realize you were in the wrong when things cooled off after some conflict, you should do so, but yeah...it's a rare quality these days... I don't think it's a sign of weakness...
Anyway, I'm done with this, so final thoughts: I really think Zeta has better things to do than take snapshots, play "tattle-tale toady" and waste Ian's time on something as utterly stupid and silly as this... He's too much of a snob to have bothered, heh. I just can't imagine him using the PrintScreen key, opening an image editor, cropping a screencap, uploading it somewhere, and PM'ing Ian with, "Hey, check this out!" Seriously! Has he *ever* done that before ? I don't recall...
So, knowing him for years, given all the context, it was a lame sort of sarcastic joke/bluff and it was so offhanded, it surprises me so much more was read into it... BUT, to your side, this illustrates the risk you take when you use sarcastic humor, it can be read literally by a % of readers... It's your choice to continue to read it literally though, even after his denials and thinking he was serious and that you somehow deterred him by calling him out. We have to agree to disagree at some point.
Ya know, like, take other examples, does Punch literally wanna punch Pat the Punk in the face ? Was Joe RediferRumble serious about his petty public "threat" to pull his Kickstarter pledge cause of my emailed newsletters ? Opinions will vary...
ALL: Anyway, seriously, how do you block people here? I've clicked on every button I can find in the settings or while viewing other people's profiles and I seriously don't see it. I even Googled it hoping to find a thread somewhere talking about it.
Was gonna show you, but DarkKo took care of it. Like esteban, I'd also advise against adding him to your ignore list, but I'll understand either way. Heh. Once in a while, he manages to get some lulz in there rare as it is, not this time, but it's possible, so you'll miss out on that, AND on updates with his Catastrophy game...
