    He made a joke in the OT forum about slanty eyes to Tyrant of Ants I think. It wasn't meant in malice. If it was in his backyard between friends nobody would have cared. I know people make jokes about HCP being latin all the time. But... the problem is..... this is not a private venue and someone used it against him. I have no idea if they were actually offended or if they just used it as ammunition, but that's what I heard was the cause of the letter.

    the initial letter wasn't due to the comment he made to tyrant of snakes (or whatever the name is). It was someone accusing him of "bullying" people.

    Agreed about the 2nd joke issue though.

    Oh yeah, I remember the initial thing, wasn't that a few years ago? I was talking about the recent episode.

    Agreed. That being said, pretty much anyone who has ever been a regular poster on S2 has poked fun at HCP that could be considered racially-insensitive, as well as poking fun at Mrs. HCP. He's taken that in stride. We've all created that environment. It's no guarantee, but I suspect it's highly likely that someone who has taken some jabs at HCP is the same person that has reported him to his bosses.

    It doesn't make HCP's comments okay, but it was two posters bantering back-and-forth playfully and someone interjected themselves into it.

    "tyrant of ants" makes no sense to me....I mean is it leaf-cutter, or red, or carpenter? Or is it arrogant enough to claim dominion over all species and sub-species. Just use RAID and be done with it

    now, 'tyrant of aunts' I can get behind...so to speak. Get an AILF vibe working

    I have personally stayed away from the racial jokes with him..... and really the wife jokes....

    With that said, again, he has intentionally made it known who he is and what he does for a living. There's risk with that. I didn't really start posting on here until after I quit writing.

    If I had been working for the Blazers I would have been fired years ago.... now that I think of it, maybe why that's why they didn't hire me :lol:

    I stopped reading after the second page, but is it too much to ask to let sleeping dogs lie? (Not to be confused with letting lying dogs sleep.)

    I have been trying to get some of you fired for years. I post missed connections on craigslist.

    "Do you know someone who goes by the name "BLAZING GIANTS." If you do, I'd like to know where they work. Willing to pay in old Franz blazer cards."

    The ultimate move was a poster sending me his personal information in a PM and then acting like I was some kind of stalker for knowing his name. Really a pro gamer move.

    There's no space in my name, FAMS!

    By the way, Nate, I'll give you my name and place of employment for those Franz cards!

    20, but yeah. I can remember pointless shit similar to that, but not what day of the week it is (honestly, while driving somewhere today I thought it was Friday).

    No way. We don't need to remember. Everything is available on demand on sites like basketball reference. I can't remember shit.
