You know, I think everyone just needs to stop getting their panties in a knot over this. Yeah, it sucks when someone with a media outlet goes on a tirade. However, he came here, he tried to clear things up, he admited he shouldn't have blasted the community the way he did, and from what I gather the subject is more or less done with on the show unless Vyndree wants to make an appearance.

The way this community is responding isn't exactly putting us in the best light either. It seems we got a nice chunk of folks here who like to play the martyr card. Hell, its almsot like we have our own "forum watch" going on and every time a thread gets posted on the wow boards someone links it here. Every time someone says something in game, we cap the conversation and post it. A lot of people also have this attitude that we're better than everyone else because we do what we do.

At the end of the day, who really cares what Octale thinks or does on his show? He doesn't like multiboxing, big whoop. A LOT of people don't like it for one reason or another. So long as he's not openly telling people to harrass us in game, i don't really care what he has to say.
Personally, I would like to know if something is being said about me (not necessarily me personally but you know what i mean), so I approve of those linking the threads.

As for our attitude towards others.. In light of someone being presented with hard facts, numerous times, and still claiming it to be against ToS or whatever they may think it is going against, then yes, MY attitude towards them changes in a flash.. not because I am a mboxer and they are not, but simply because they are often ignorant, stubborn and some other adjectives i neither care to use nor have any clue what they mean.. :P
This type of person is often flamed by hundreds of players not necessarily just the mboxing community.

Your observations highlight something tho.. the reason why in almost every single thread it appears as tho we take the snob approach and seem to look down on ppl, is because 99% of the time these threads are nothing but a whine, posted by alts or ppl that make absolutly no sense (that 1% is there.. somewhere.. and when found it usually results in a semi constructive and informative thread).
It is also a huge reflection however on one particular fact. Those that understand Blizz's stance on mboxing, or the reasons ppl mbox, or whatever.. and still dislike it, tend not to post.. at all! meaning the majority of posts we reply to are those of, for lack of a more politically correct work, idiots, who believe everything we do is a bannable offence, and that we should be heckled and insulted for it. It is those ppl I have no time for and feel nearly justified in thinking myself better then them (I stress nearly - I don't as a general rule - may be my downfall because I tend to think everyone has something worthwhile to say).

I give credit where credit is due, and none where none is due.

Knyte might think he's better then everyone else tho ^^

oh and PS Knyte: I think Vyn said the first email had bounced, so I don't think it's a case of him making stuff up
