That is teh sweetness.You can be Grand Puba
I agree 100% with you. I know it went too far. No one here can deny that it went too far. Hindsight is a *****. I even nudged in private a few times to pop the bubble before polecat came in. Perhaps I should have publicly nudged and let the cat out. For that I am indeed guilty.While I agree that SM did go too far with the joke (with help from many others), KR was pretty stupid for believing everyone who backed him.
Some big red flags for me were when:
1)people PM'd him that SM didn't work for kicker
2)SM told KR to ask for SM when he called kicker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Either way though, the joke went on for far too long before it was finally stopped.
Sure KR is an idiot for believing everyone, but doesn't this type of shit happen every day around the world? I don't see you guys ripping apart those people who got scammed because of their n00bishness and saying that the scammer didn't deserve some sort of punishment. Sure, SM wasn't out to scam anyone, but he didn't make an effort to end the joke when he should have. It went way too far and you all know it.
I'm gonna miss SM just as much as everyone else. Hell, I laughed at the thread when I first saw it, but at that point it was only ~10 pages. 40 pages later and it's finally over? IMO the mods should have ended it long before then. Really, everyone on this forum is responsible for what happened. The people who could have stopped it should have, but instead they only made things worse by letting the thread go.
I apologize if you guys don't agree with what I said, but that's how I look at it. I love a good n00b bashing just as much as the next guy, but this escalated beyond a reasonable level.
I am only miffed at pinheads like the one in here saying he was scamming him for a lousy $20.
