The Following is a letter I wrote to the..uh...whatever he/she is who "locked down" my last blog for not adding text to the video I posted. Yes. A video I made. It appears that being "locked down" means that no one is able to comment on the blog post. So since I couldn't defend myself in the same way he came after me, I had to send a PM, and here is the transcript.
"Dear...uh...Hamz,
Ok, what the hell is going on? You "locked down" my blog? Who are you and what makes it your business to do that? Should I assume you've phished my account and report you to the GB staff? Let's start out assuming you didn't, and then we'll go from there.
I post a blog on my own, personal Giantbomb page, and I get gamer Gestapo stopping by to make sure I don't post blogs in certain ways? Who are you people anyway? Are you even actual GB employees?
What business is it of yours the way I post my own blog? Are we not allowed to post works of our own on our blogs? If videos without explanations aren't allowed, then why provide the ability to embed something--especially considering it's nearly impossible to add text after someone has posted a video?
I did find it amazing how you were able to enter the mind of this humble GB patron and decipher how I posted that without text because I "wanted everyone else to do the work." That's exactly why I did that! It had nothing to do with the broken interface or the fact that there's no point in explaining something that's supposed to be funny; it either is funny or it isn't. But it wasn't that, obviously. You're a master of understanding how the minds of people work, aren't you?
This telepathy stuff is fascinating. Hey, let me try: You have nothing else to do in your life, so you patrol gaming websites looking for things you don't like so you can screw with people who did nothing to you. You do it so you'll feel like you have control over something. Wow! Explaining other people's thought processes is fun! Thank you for turning me on to this phenomenon...and turning me off from Giantbomb.com, which I mistakenly believed to be a sort of "free" gaming site. Silly me! ;)
Actually... I don't have to explain myself to you, who the-hell-ever you are. If you do actually hold some sway over things at GB, then I'm glad to finally find out that GB isn't worth my time. I'll blog elsewhere and probably switch to IGN or something for gaming news.
I thought I'd left the game site Nazism behind when I followed Jeff over from Gamespot.
I guess dicks will find a way to fuck with people anyway, won't they?
With all the sincerity of a thoroughly humbled game site peon in your glorious Gestapo presence,
Sestren "
So bye, Giantbomb. Having no clue that GB would be just as rigorously fascist a site as Gamespot, I came to Giantbomb when Jeff Gerstmann left GS. Oh well.
I'm out.
