I only said what I said because Coren was accusing of me deterring people fromm playing. I know it sounded arrogant, and mostly it was said in the moment, but I do not like it when someone who can't even something as simple as bring his recording setup since he was the only one with a portable one, basically telling me that I'm deterring people from playing. Too much stuff to bring? I always bring my stick, PS2 and 2 extra pads whenever I go to a meet. Recording setup is just a laptop and dazzle.
Well I don't know your personality, but even for a normal person in the heat of the moment, it would seem odd for them to say something so self-entitling like, "my scene", when their trying to defend themselves when it comes to helping out a scene. It just seems that far out of place in the argument, I'd be more inclined to think it was a slip-of-the-tongue on your part, and that you meant it in some kind of sincerity. If I were in your scene, it would definitely be a thought in the back of my mind.
And really, I like how most people other than the ones living in Vancouver will automatically assume I'm the one at wrong here just because I don't go on IRC and thus no one really knows who I am. If anyone really bothered to look at the beginning of this, you would've seen that I was the first and only person to tell Wu to stop trolling. He couldn't find something to say to Wu so he ended up taking out his frustration at me.
It's true that I'm sure most people don't know you, but you posted all of this online for everyone to see. All can we judge upon is what we see, so you can't help but to expect to get this kind of criticism. You folks aren't the only ones who do this, but this little episode just goes to show why everyone should save this kind of drama for PMs or IRL. That way things have less of a chance of getting misinterpreted and blown up online, or have outsiders interfere. And it just makes everyone and the scene look bad, period. I know this doesn't have anything to do with me, but I just felt I had to say something since like Alexey said, it's sad to see the vancity scene nowadays go through something like this, knowing how hard it is get players for this game. I wish I had half of the players you have, during my time.
Maybe the animosity between certain people here was unavoidable, but you all could definitely handle the situation in a better manner.
