The best revenge is living well. Well, it used to be. Now the best revenge is posting on your blog.

Ah I see where I misread that now. My apologies.

Also I don’t mind being made to look like an idiot. If I did I would engage my brain more often as opposed to my beer.

And would it kill him (Jaffe) to be a little more… oh, I don’t know… professional?

Well since Scott linked the entire blog and not just the “original” post, I read all 3 posts, including the (and yes it was a) tantrum, and then…pay attention here Cake because it gets a little bit complicated…formed a consolidated opinion.

I hereby modify point 3 to read: If you don’t want people to tell you how full of shit you are, don’t blog or leave comments on blogs.

Alright. I don’t say everyone has to agree with me. Or anyone for that matter.

Although to my original point: he was quite civil in his original post which is where he did his complaining about scores which, apparently, Amber didn’t bother to read.

You’re trying to redefine the word “tantrum” to weasel out of the point, and the new definition you’re using doesn’t appear in any dictionary I can find. Tantrums don’t have to have anything to do with getting something – a tantrum is a fit of bad temper or an excessively emotional outburst.

Not that it matters.

Somebody misquoted him, (or he thought someone did) and instead of ignoring it or trying to correct it he turned it into a huge freakin’ drama. While I find public drama entertaining, it was still a stupid response.

I would kill for an edit button. To explain further on the topic of the tantrum: Tantrums are to get something. Sympathy, that toy your mom just took away, an extra hour added to your curfew, something, anything. Here he clearly had nothing to get so it couldn’t have been a tantrum. He was just blowing off steam about some people who did him wrong as previously stated.

Also I apparently wrote “to” instead of “too” because I typed too fast and didn’t bother to check.

Also in all honestly that’s not like any tantrum I’ve ever beheld. There’s way to much logic and purpose. It’s some guy blowing off steam about some people who have done him wrong. I think it’s allowed.

He was in the original rant which is what I thought we were referencing. He didn’t say he hated Gamespot, just that he thought the review was unfair. Go back and scroll down and read the original post and you’ll understand.

That message was for a site that took his post out of context as far as I can tell. The postscript was just him saying he didn’t hate Gamespot or whatever people were saying he said.

“Fuck you, guys. Go fuck yourselves. … I hope Kotaku fucking puts your ass out of business, wanna be fucktards.” is a tantrum by just about any definition.

And the postscript makes it pretty clear he wasn’t talking about the Gamespot review.
