I find it funny how obsessed so many on GAF seem to be with this one guy. Does his being an unapologetic and enthusiastic Xbox fan annoy you people that much? The specific, targeted attention he gets, and how strongly sustained, from just about everyone is borderline disturbing. People on here pick apart the dumbest of things and the tiniest of details simply to attack the guy. Does it make everyone feel better about themselves? He literally gets targeted and singled out in every major thread having to do with anything pertaining to Xbox - whether positive xbox news or negative xbox news - on this entire forum. You're most likely to see him attacked consistently and more aggressively if the thread is somehow construed as good Xbox news. Not a flattering trend guys.
I don't know who's obsessed and can't even imagine the thought of it (ugh), but his tweet was brought up as "proof" of a certain rumor being fake, and that was funny. Then his defense force jumped out of nowhere.
My personal issue with him is this: I once read a tweet of his around E3 I think. He had Phil Spencer's @ in his tweet. So I replied to his tweet asking something genuine about what he tweeted. I don't troll. I didn't even know who Tim dog was back then. The mongrel straight up responded with something like "why are you tagging Phil" or "why are you dragging him into this? Blocked". Like what the actual fuck kind of childish manner is that coming from someone who's supposedly mature? All I did was read his tweet, click on reply, typed a question and sent. Phil was auto tagged in because he had him in. But that doesn't justify me being blocked? I'm pretty sure my question was genuine enough I could've asked Phil the same question if he himself have tweeted the same thing and I wouldn't imagine in a million years being blocked. Long story short, he gave me the impression he's a man child because of what he did. And reading his other tweets cemented that. So calling him a nice person is a bit rich. If he practices such behavior and is still being called a nice person, then what have people left for actual legit nice people?
So if after what I've personally experienced and read I see some people quickly jumping in his defense, I know what I'm in for. I know you're defending that behavior of his that I'm incompatible with. If he wants to be seen in a different light then he should present himself with better attitude. You love him all you want. I won't. And I'm not getting into arguments about this. Thank you. And I'm done here.
Edit: Slight correction. I started tagging Phil, and it was to show Tim where he's at; knowing top people like Phil and so concentrate your efforts there, not concern yourself with forum gossip. And I was trying to give him some advice. Here's exactly what happened:
Tim
Gaf now losing its mind upset about Scorpio chatter, that piece of shit forum now is talking about me again HAHAHAHA

(uugghhh...)
Me
@PNF4LYFE Dude... why do you care about some internet forum so much when you're friends with @XboxP3. C'mon man.
(I'm limited to 140, and I'm trying to tell him to focus his energy where it matters, I mean you're in contact with Phil fgs. Focus your energy there instead of wasting it on forum gossip)
Tim
@XboxP3 they are the ones crying about me, they also push a negative light onto Xbox, I will expose them for the frauds they are
(sigh... If this isn't childish I don't know what is, but anyway I still try being sensible)
Me
@PaNF4LYFE @XboxP3 You do realize they are but a few. Xbox has 10s of millions of fans. You're better off just ignoring.
(trying to be sensible again, just giving advice to drop it)
Tim
@XboxP3 and stop tagging Phil with this too, he don't care dude , muting you
(aaaand there you have it. I was muted for trying to give advice :/ funny thing is he was tagging phil with his stupidly childish responses. He could've easily removed him from it, but I guess he felt embarrassed?)
And some tell me this person is nice.... Sigh...
