Justing wants to make an ass of himself, it's his right. Up until he crosses a line and gets a temp ban, he can say what he wants.
And, if you look at what is said, both game mods and forum players ahve said/done things just as bad as Justin on a constant basis. It's not like hes arguing with himself, each of the idiots arguing with him is just as guilty as him.

Someone by all means educate me on why everyone hates him. The trolling thread is a tad classless and immature but far from reason, by itself, to despise him.

Are you really that sad you aren't a sponsored TeamUSA member that you need to take shots at him like this? Don't be a jackass.
Most of the people who dislike him never even tried out for TeamUSA. Let's face it, anyone could get in at this point. Those accounts have changed hands so many times.
But let me shed some light on your question:
I did hire a hooker, your mom. But I don't screw her because I am her pimp. That's right, she makes me ALOT of money. Tell her thanks next time you see her on the street corner.
lol, OMG, do you even know what blue balls are? Have your balls even dropped yet? lol, jeeze.
Jesus Method, then why the hell were you so asking for a sponsored USA gold in the first place? Are you crazy? You have multiple personality disorder or something?
Funny, I didn't know you had any more brain cells left. But moving on....
Seeing how you have just a few remaining, one of two things must be happening to you:
1. You strain your brain too hard to try to understand what I write, thus, damaging it.
2. You move your face too close to the computer monitor to read every word. Then the electrical interference and radiation from your 15 year old 50 pound tube monitor fries your eyes and head.
You should see a doctor.
You are such little prick. If I was a little prick like you and reported every gold who typed something that broke the rules (whether they were messing around or not) most of the golds here would be deleted, including you.
Darkness, I am going request that your gold account get deleted too for instigating a scam.
Um, i didn't take the time to read your post because I know it is crap. So I am just responding.
lol. I finally get it, this is how you kids "retaliate" by negging people like me who make you look and feel like asses, which you are. Like I give a rats ass.
And if you try to get pissy with an older person remember that some day in the future you may remember your little hissy fits and think to yourself 'dam, I was such an ass'.
Hey, Bax, try not to be such of an asshole. You'll just die earlier than the rest of us and lose friends along the way.
No offense to any gay people here. I do respect peoples right to do as they please. I am only attacking Uniq who is a moron and trying to make him upset. I hope Uniq cries his ugly ass to sleep in pools of his own tears.
Morning Star, I had to check your ass because you were sticking up for IceMan who said something totally off. Which means that you support his BS, him and Uniq. So don't get all righteous on me.
The list goes on. Only 2 of those are directed at me. The rest lash out at anyone who disagrees with him. Let me know if you need more reason.

There are lots of quotes there. As much as I don't want to be difficult or annoying, and I'm sure compiling those quotes took a little time, I'd rather see them in context. Most bickering "your mom's a hooker" remarks go both ways, from what I've seen and I've seen people unjustly provoke him. Could you post links to the threads so I can see what happened?

It's ok mith, feel free to "be difficult" - you bring up good (and respectful) points. You and I both know that there is a good amount of taunting and such on forums. So what's the difference between taunting, flaming, and trolling?
Taunting is something you'd say to your best friend if you were competing against one another. You're usual "come on, is that the best you got?" The purpose is to get a little response, but you generally aren't being genuinely malicious.
Flaming is a response to something. Unlike the other two, a flamer doesn't initialize things, he just points out the noobness of something that's already been said or done. "Don't make a new thread about what you had for lunch you noob."
Trolling on the other hand is done with the malicious intent to upset one or many individuals. No point is made, and truth is generally not used at all. We've seen several instances of admitted trolling by Obi-Wan in the last 24 hours, including Method bringing forward one of his quotes (something like 'do this cuz it will upset uni'), as well as one of his quotes I stated in my last post, along with the fact that he admitted to try to do anything to hurt Darkness for getting Omega deleted.
Now I will say that most of those quotes I compiled have the general context where someone respectfully or intellectually states a valid qualm they have with either obi-wan, or his clan, and gets those quotes as responses. This is clearly escalated by Obi-Wan, time and time again. People are generalized as being affiliated with me should they disagree with him, and then condescended to. Meanwhile, the original intelligent point is completely dropped to instead just insult. That's the context.
It'll take time to get those quotes, but it's my responsibility in proving my point. Let me know if you insist on them.

I will say HK is crass, certainly. But again, trolling vs flaming. Plot this sucker out and look where the slope of the line is greatest. People come to a fist fight and Obi pulls out a knife. OK, HK pulls out his knife too... Justin pulls a gun. By my definition, flaming is a direct or equal response. Escalating things, trolling, isn't.
If you look at the progression of those responses, this is what we have:
dab00z claims he loses braincells when reading justin's writing
Justin escalates things by responding to dabooz's one liner with a 10 line bashing spree on the (lack of) intelligent of dabooz.
HK responds in kind about the tone and style of justin's writing by suggesting he hire a hooker to relax.
Justin escalates things again by responding to that one liner with a 6 line bashing spree of how HK's mother is a hooker, that he's her pimp, and that HK's testicles haven't descended.
There is cause and effect here. There is equal response and escalation. These are key differences.

Sorta have to agree here, sorry Uni. In fairness Jeff, Uni's been put in the very difficult position. He must simultaneously act as a objective moderator, but also respect the actions of other "objective moderators." Of course, we see that HK was probably acting well below his supposed role, yet Uni is forced to defend his actions de facto.

Gosh darn it. I am just a horrible person.
Seriously, all the the hate is born from total emotionally charged people (like Equitas and HatchetKlown) who believe that they are being "fair" and "just" moderators when they actually are not.
Uniq started all this shit long ago. I came into TAO in peace and explained everything. Not that I had to but because I was kind enough to. Equi DEMANDED me to explain my reasons (a kid asking a 33 year old to "explain" himself, lol) for the whole TeamUSA thing. Well, I was a good sport and did. I kindly explained to Jeff and others. Equi was the only one who has been fighting this the entire way. In fact the very first conversation I had with Equi went like this in the GL lobby:
Equi: "So what is all the TeamUSA stuff about?"
Me: "Please read the forums, I explained everything in some posts"
Equi: "Forums are down"
Me: "Well, wait for them to come back up"
Equi "Why can't you just explain now?"
Me: "It's too long to explain in lobby chat"
Equi: "Try summarizing, it's an amazing skill"
Right there Equi came off as a smart ass kid, implying that I lack summarization skills. Ever since then we have butted heads and Equi supporters have ganged up on me and TeamUSA.
WTF am I doing that is so wrong? Paying for 10 TAO golds so players can have fun? Wow, send me to jail.
It is obvious that Equi is just jealous and for no reason. So Equi wants to cause problems. As Equi said "You are not part of this community and never will be. I will not allow it"
So, Equi is just being a biased prick, not a fair and Just mod at all. Which is why Equi needs to be removed as a mod.

If you'd take people's advice, maybe 3/4 of TAO wouldn't hate you so much. And FYI, not everyone is out to get you and/or your clan and its members in trouble.
Spirit, I give a rats ass if people on a game forum don't like my posts, lol. I have more important things to worry about. In the end, this is fun for me.
Besides, I am not a Mod, nor am I a TAO manager, employee, representative, etc... If I was then I would care. But I am not so I don't.

Equi told me that if he EVER got the chance to remove a TeamUSA gold he would. Nuff said. Way to go for being fair and unbiased. If you think Equi was not involved, think again.
Going back and forth on this whole Equi/TeamUSA forum mud fling contest IS fun, which is why I post. I like to see Equi spend 30 minutes digging up old threads. It feels like I am forcing Equi to do laps, lol.

If you did not care, you would not be trying so hard. ;)
If you had stuck to debates with Uniq about why you are doing what you do, no one would really be hating you.
But your sporadic infantile flaming of other members/players/mods simply makes people have a strong distaste for you in general.
This is about the fact that since the time you've arrived you have yet to have a conversation in a thread without engaging at least one person in petty bickering and name calling. Flaming is one thing. Flaming is wonderful when done at the right time or the rigght situation. Neither of which you've ever achieved.

What exactly is wrong with saying that? All she was saying is that if she ever found a valid reason to delete a Team USA member, she wouldn't hesitate to do so.
You're misinterpreting what she says on so many levels.

Jeff, many of my posts in the past were very respectful, informative and detailed. Problem is: I am talking to kids and young adults with major attitude problems. The haters never cut me any slack. In fact, I was very kind to Equi at first, typing up 2 page PM's in efforts to explain things. Equi never once said like, 'thanks for taking the time to try and explain things but I still don't understand.'
The bottom line is, it don't matter if I am kind to teenagers and kids. They are here to have fun and could care less about me being "respectful". So I say what I want and do what I want. There will always be haters no matter how "mature" I appear to be. At this point me trying to be polite will make no difference. So screw the haters. Lets play the game and have fun and be rude on the forums.

He is somewhat funny, and I enjoy reading his posts because you never know what you're gonna get :p If these insults were directed at me, I would go down to his level, and say I had sex with his wife, or that he is the Jerk stores #1 best seller.
Secondly, I don't see what the damn problems here are. He flames some people, everyone does. Jeffery will tell people to go die, hatchet tells people to hire hookers, I call people who don't play games pansies... it goes on. Is he over the top sometimes? Yes, probably, but it's an online gaming forum, not congress. He doesn't need to be liked to be here, as Dape and others have proved. That said, I think he should mellow out on Uniq a bit, as it is actually pretty cool and offers great advice towards picking up chicks. i've also recently learned a new technique, The Twisty Tornado, and am looking for someone to help me with this.

It makes a BIG difference. By sinking to their level, you are not only just as bad as them, but worse. Because YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE BETTER, and willfully choose to egg them on.
You not only give them opportunity to continue bashing you, but insist upon it with your behavior. Then you react to them as if it's their fault.
It takes two to tango is a great saying. If you did not respond with your own shit to theirs, they would drift away. But no, you feed the flames constantly. Then wonder why everyone thinks you're a dipshit. Well DUH, maybe it's because you ACT like a dipshit.
BTW, Blud is the one who submitted the gold for deletionb. Not HK. Not Uni. He did it because he received the PM with the screenie. And did his duty as a mod to submit the account for deletion. Uni and HK acted like douches here, sure. But they had ZERO to do with Bluds receiving the PM.

Internet Engineering Association, LLC recently created Team U.S.A. in efforts to sponsor a "digital" Olympics team so to speak.
The Team U.S.A. clan has a singular purpose: Stay in the top 10 clan and player rankings on Great Lakes and Revelation servers and to develop positive relationships with TAO players which may someday use services provided by IEA. This is a experiment in marketing and PR by IEA to create brand awareness and loyality. As such, we are more than happy to support wholesome pastimes and hobbies such as TAO game play. Team USA will sponsor the best golds who wish to join Team USA. Sponsorship will be for 2 years. Bonuses will be paid out to top players. We encourage all to learn more about Team USA and IEA. Please email clan@inetassociation.com to learn more.
If you get a Spam protector email simply follow the instructions in the email.
Serious question.
Are you still here for this, or to try and make people mad, or for your entertainment?
You basically failed on developing positive relationships with the TAO players, who most likely will not ever use your product either.
So, what is your point in being here still? The way I see it, you are just wasting money that could be spent elsewhere to build up positive relations.
I'd probably pack my bags and move somewhere, after learning a lesson here (I'd hope). But that's me. I don't have a degree in business. :rolleyes:

The main purpose here is the press release. People see it, take a quick glance, go "oh, nice", then move on. The 1% that take the time to click through to TAO, search the forums, etc.. won't be phased. They know this is a forum for kids who play the game.

The very ones who you hope to impress with your press release would look into it. If the press release is enough to get them interested, then yes, they will look into the details of what you are actually doing with it.
Those who pay it no heed simply won;t matter, but then again, they also won;t give you any posative response to it either.

I'm not looking for extreme detail and why you think it will help, etc.
Answer honestly and completely and I'll be satisfied. :p

The very ones who you hope to impress with your press release would look into it. If the press release is enough to get them interested, then yes, they will look into the details of what you are actually doing with it.
Those who pay it no heed simply won;t matter, but then again, they also won;t give you any posative response to it either.
The 1% that bother to look into it are those that would be impressed. The other 99% won;t even click to see what the original release said anyway.
I see your point. I only expect 99% of the customers and prospects to glance at the PR titles and go "meh, ok". The only thing I expect them to take away from the PR by glancing at it is "IEA is doing Press Releases and IEA is involved in sponsorship programs, ok"
That in itself is enough for me.
It's kinda like when you see a TV or Magazine ad about Ford Motor Company doing oil cleanup in Alaska. People are like, "yeah, who cares, they should be doing that anyway". Then they flip the channel or flip the page. But the impact is already made. The person knows that Ford is doing stuff. Thus a image that Ford is a company that is "engaged" and "involved" is made. It is a positive image the the viewer gets.
The 1% that actually take the time to read exactly what Ford is doing in Alaska to clean up the oil is prolly the critics anyway.

Are you still here for this, or for your entertainment?
So, what is your point in being here still?

Ok, here we go:
1. I was told by Mag, Dape and others early on (like 4-5 months ago when I first started) that being in the top 10 is important and getting ranked. This is why I posted what I did in the old quote you pasted. Since then I have learned that the important thing here in TAO is to support players who want to have fun. Players who do not have multiple golds, are boosters, etc.. you know, good and respectable TAO mambers.
I am here for many reasons. My entertainment, PR and business related purposes, to check up on sponsored players to make sure they are being good, etc... True, 99.9% of TAO players will not need the services of my company. But I have already had many TeamUSA members say that they told a friend or family member about my company. Works for me. However, my primary concern is to create loyal ties with existing customers vis PR releases which 99% of then won't read anyway. But it does make an impact.
2. Your second question is kinda connected to your first. My point of STILL being here is to make sure my sponsored golds don't get deleted, banned, out of line, hacked, shared between players, etc... I also still need to be here because I am the only clan leader. Punishment is like co-leader but only I have access to the leader account. Too many TeamUSA haters (lord knows why) so I just can't share the leader account. Besides, Serg advised that I don't from day one.
Also, $50 per month is not a "waste" as you put it. I spend more than that on Starbucks coffee in 1 week.
Sadly, this response will be overlooked by the haters, picked apart, etc... Just wasting my breath again. Ok Spirit, I answered your questions. Does that help to change how you feel towards what I am doing?

Just going to do a little math here....

So 50 divided by 2.5......25 large coffees a week man. Seems like you have a problem there ;).
Anyway, I have an offer that you cannot refuse. Let's face it. I'm poor, and clearly a lot smart than you. You seem to have some money to throw around, so hire me. Pay me $50 and I'll turn your clan into something respectable. Let's face it, I'm the best clan leader on the market now. Or just have me do PR. Or I'll tapdance for hamburgers. Contact me when ready.

Well, true enough.
Forthe record, I am living on $25 a week for this entire summer. This includes gas, food, everything. So yeah, I'll do quite a bit for cash.

What the hell, $2.51 for a Starbucks latte? Not even. It's like $3.75 in San Francisco and like $4.00 in Japan. Add a pastry or a sweet and I dump $10 into Starbucks every visit.

$25/week?
Do you eat your parents food and sleep in their house?
If so your only real expense is gas. If you drive alot then $25/week is nothing.
Hmm, idea. You obviously know computers. Hit up your neighbors and friends. Tell them you will update and secure their PC's for $30. Then just download the latest patches, antivirus and security stuff. 1 hour, done.

KAP, it is EASY money dude. Adults trust younger people to know and fix computers. So just tell them to pay you $30 and you'll upgrade and secure their system because some new big "virus" is coming..... or make something up... sell it to them!! They will pay you!!
