So I was mentioned in the Bomb Should Have A Face Podcast. (iTunes link) (What I'm talking about starts around the 26th minute?) Unfortunately, it was because of that whole Dual Reaver controversy around a week ago. Yeah, it sucks what happened, but I think I should address some things.
1. Thanks for the couple guys on the podcast who supported me, and realized what I was doing. It wasn't serious, at all.
2. I said something about mod's that pissed ALOT of people off. I think it was along the lines of that MB is the only forum mod. To tell you the truth, I didn't even realize that I said it. I don't re-watch my videos, because well....I was there when they were made. So I would have edited that out if I would have caught it. I obviously do not really believe that. And I'm sorry if I offended anyone on that front.
I've talked to MB himself about it, and he said he was not offended at all. He understood what I meant. People just got offended for him.
It's funny, because everything else I said in the video, Dual said as well. So the fact that people were all up in arms at me was ironic. But when you post stuff on the internet, its liable to happen. MUST BREAK UP BIG BLOG OF TEXT
3. Someone on the podcast mentioned that once I put it on the internet, then its open to ridicule. And I totally agree. I felt that some comments got out of hand, and it all snowballed. He called the video "sucky" and ok I accept all feedback. If you don't like my vids, then don't want them. Plain and simple. It's not like your forced to.
4. It's over, there was never any nasty pm's in the background. Truthfully, it looked a lot worse then it was. Luckily it has gone away.
But what hasn't gone away is the fact that mods were apparently spying on the IRC while this was all going on. (according to the podcast) This sucks, and I believe personally that it was not needed. I don't know who it was or what happened. But I assume that SOOO many random people found out about the blog because of the IRC.
Like mentioned in the podcast, mods should be users too. There shouldn't be this big battle between us and them. If were friends, then we all will be happier.
So yeah, this is the last your ever probably hear about this. I just wanted you to get my side. It's over, done, never going to come back.
Sucks that my first mention on the podcast was semi negative. Glad that at least some of the people on the podcast (sorry I don't really know who is who besides matt) understood what happened.
Sorry for all the people sick of this, but this was just something I had to get off my chest.
I really enjoy that podcast, and listen to it regularly. Keep up the good work guys.
