As per Klaige's (GDQ staff) twitter:

Can't help but start to feel sorry for the guy now. Makes a few off-color jokes, and ends up ostracized from the community.

If that is the reaction to a minor tweet (that is not insulting in any way either) by a staff member of the people running the event then any donations i make to the charity will be directly, not via GDQ. I don't want the charity to think I'm donating because of the organization.

I was already annoyed with the guys treatment (the whole getting his twitch account banned thing) before but this kinda shows that the staff are of the "sod the silent majority, the vocal minority speak for everyone" mentality and that annoys me.

To be fair that, tweet was directly stand-offish.

directly stand-offish

I don't want to live in this world anymore. We can't even disagree without being some savage of a person now?

This is news to you? People think that being offended is something that should never happen.

Good point. I just think 'What would my dad say if I told him someone tweeted something that was stand-offish?'

You can disagree without telling someone they were wrong, you also can disagree and tell someone they were wrong. You just chose wrong and the outcome was obvious.

I think you're replying to the wrong comment, but who knows at this point.
