The convo with this person got interesting and we touched the subject about what it's like to be a community manager. We then discussed the whole process of banning people and such.
The convo then went somewhat like this from what I can best remember -
Me: So hey <insert blue poster here>, have you ever heard of this guy from my server, Bleeding Hollow, named Aestu?
> *stare* ...... <pause> .... are you serious?
Me: What? You actually remember hearing about this person?
> Yes.... There were some posts he made that were just ridiculous.
Me: Yes, why of course.
> I can tell you one thing. I take full responsibility for being the person that banned him off the forums.
Me: HAHA YES
> Ohh man, at first I thought you were an Aestu supporter. I was nervous for a second.
Me: I can't believe you were the person who actually did that. And to think that there are a bunch of other people who can do that.
Everyone around us shared a good laugh. This other attendee guy told me: "Wow, he actually knows someone from your server.... that's unlikely... among many other people they had to ban? That's pretty interesting..."
So yeah, Aestu. On a scale from 1-10 how mad are you ?
That's the thing...that's why BS artists like people like you. You will buy shit on a stick if you see "everyone around you" buying one.
"Ridiculous." Ridiculous! BC THE PPL I PAID $1000 TO HAVE DINNER WITH SAID SO IT MUST BE TRUE! Yeah, the same folks that have somehow managed to lose two million subscribers in the space of a year say that views that don't agree with theirs "ridiculous".
I'm not mad at all. Why would I be?
I did what so many cannot; I rose above the pack. I made my mark, my voice was heard. I spoke the truth and it made the liars nervous. Banning me hasn't silenced my voice - it echoes within them.
How many people have played WoW...have posted on the forums...have gotten banned...have made stupid BLUE RSPONS PLZ posts or trolled or whatever trying to make a name for themselves? I never needed to say BLUE PLZ or crash servers by herding a thousand players into a room in Stormwind...all I needed to do was express my ideas, use my mind. I was recognized on my own merits. How many can do that, Kaldoreii?
Who got the last laugh? Those losers running the company into the ground? Or the guy who was vindicated, who made a name for himself?
