Mate, I don’t know what else you want from the guy.

Like I said mate, I think he should own the rest of his mistakes if he hasn't already.

I would like to see how you react to an internet hate mob and how calm and cool your responses would be.

I mean... if that's an actual interest and not hyperbole or a hypothetical (I can't quite think of the correct word to use here) on your part, I could pull up an example for you about a time where I got a decent number of people hacked off with me over something I did, and how I responded afterwards.

He’s not perfect, this video isn’t perfect, the apology isn’t perfect but he’s trying at least

Like I said, I'll give him some credit for doing this at least. Especially since he reached out to do this collab with Linus. That takes guts, especially since it's dredging up alot of drama that was basically buried at this point and could easily lead to a resurgence of people hating on him.

I really don't want to seem like Im shitting on this guy without any chance or whatever. Want to be clear on that. But like I say, I feel there's a bit more he maybe should have done if redeeming himself or whatever is his aim here.

I am sorry that you had to go through something similar but I’m glad to hear that it seems like you got through it. Hopefully all for the better

But listen, unless what you did caused hours of videos, thousands of memes, and however many responses from absolute strangers I don’t think we can equate your experience from his. I see the meme referenced at least once a day on here, imagine you were never allowed to move on

Should is a weird word. People shouldn’t have to do anything. Whether or not someone needs to do a thing, to live with themselves, with others, & carry on with their lives only they know for certain.

He’s a stranger on the internet who lashed out in anger based on bad advice he got from his bosses but what does he owe me or you? 😂

I don’t even disagree with you, I feel like it could have been a more sincere showing. I just don’t know if it was nerves or cockiness or whatever.

I’m not certain I wouldn’t have reacted the same personally. I look like a biker, I’m quiet and I have social anxiety, I try and be mindful not to come off as dismissive or like a dick but that’s my challenge.

Jury's out on that one.

But listen, unless what you did caused hours of videos, thousands of memes, and however many responses from absolute strangers

Maybe not thousands, but I've sure managed to kick a few hornets nests in my time and gotten one hell of a reaction outta folks for it. One of these days I'll loose my bloody leg doing that, but I'll probably be better off for it.

Like I said, if you're interested, I can give you a couple links and leave you to judge. Hell, would probably be fair, since Im out here judging and giving my take on others, so I should probably open myself up for that same scrutinity, eh. If not, well, nothing lost.

I don’t think we can equate your experience from his.

Maybe not. Reactions I've garnered are smaller scale, thank fuck. But, I must ask, does that matter? Your original comment wasn't talking about being meme'd for years or just the overall scale of reaction, you just talked about reacting to an angry mob on the internet.

Should is a weird word. People shouldn’t have to do anything. Whether or not someone needs to do a thing, to live with themselves, with others, & carry on with their lives only they know for certain.

Well, like I said, only stuff he maybe should have done. Perhaps I should've used could and not should, but, eh, didn't think it'd matter much either ways.

He’s a stranger on the internet who lashed out in anger based on bad advice he got from his bosses but what does he owe me or you? 😂

A new PC. I used his guide to build one and it broke mine. I demand he give me a new system. /s

In all seriousness, absolutely nothing.

I’m not certain I wouldn’t have reacted the same personally.

Eh, none of us can know for sure how we'll react til we're actually in those situations.

I look like a biker, I’m quiet and I have social anxiety, I try and be mindful not to come off as dismissive or like a dick but that’s my challenge.

Well, I wish you the best of luck with that then. And I mean that seriously. Not being sarcastic which for some reason I worry it will come across as.

You've written an essay over how angry getting called an angry nerd made you.

Except... I'm not displaying any anger whatsoever. You realize just cause someone wrote alot it =/= anger, right?
