Others may think you are being cute or coy...I see the true racism behind your post
For those unaware of Korean culture and Kibun: Writing a person's name in red ink is tantamount to saying they are dead or will die soon.

Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
Putting a Korean's name in red is an insult; especially considering the intent. And yes GG knows I am Korean..and yes GG knows the Titan kibun efforts is why I left Titan....
In other words: She is just being a racist b|tch.
It's all good though. Her kibun of me was/is about as effective as the kibun efforts on NCsoft 
It reflects more on her prejudices/ignorance than anything else.

I was more curious why the original statement that triggered this conversation was in error. GG being a racist b|tch is beyond question, and it seems increasingly obvious that racism pervades a not-insignificant fraction of the Titan members. I've encountered three blatant displays of racism just on this site - I haven't really explored the Titan forums.|

As for the OP, the abusive parting gift I would leave TJ Kim is an infinitesimally skinnier wallet. Anything else is just being idiotic.
Doom.

Y'know, I had totally discounted all the "Titan members are racist" comments as hyperbole. Elitists maybe, but racists was stretching it.
Until GG's post above. Wow. You guys were right. Sad little person there.

Nice try at covering up what you did there with IBtT's name. But now that I've seen you for what you really are, I'm disgusted by you as a person.

Yes. That is clearly what you meant, given that this subtopic is about how Koreans write names in red ink to denote extreme ill-will towards other human beings. Absolutely.|

Of course not. But the sentiment is far more prevalent than it should be. Like racism in the Republican Party. I doubt even half of the Republican Party is racist, likely far lower than that in fact. But it's not really a mystery why most racists are Republicans. One wonders what conclusions we can draw from the prevalence of racism in the Titan community.

I'm sure they are not ALL like that, but I have no urge to be affiliated with someone like GG. People can be united through anger or sadness, but instead some have chosen hate...not my cup of tea.

Well this thread didn,t take long to get nasty,but back to the thread what would I leave him absolutely nothing when he sold his shares he became a figurehead with no power,he was given his orders by his new boss at Nexon so some of this hate should be pointed there.
With their idea of shops its going to work out expensive to play any of their games so I will not take part in any of those.
Over the past 6.5 years I have spent in the region of £1600 I think that is quite enough so the wallet is closed NCsoft lose,now multiply that by however many people who say they will no longer buy NC products and who is the loser,not me
Prof Radburn controller,Celtic Ice Maiden,blaster,Miss Knockout scrapper,Mistress Davina controller,Stone Hart,tank Split Personality PB.Queen Lostris controller,Fridgid Mary blaster,Shocking Fire blaster Future Elfling defender, Little Weed controller,Capo Angelo MM, Commander Buzzsaw MM, Justice Tank tank all 50,s
GG, please give the Kibun thing a rest. Even the discussion about it on the Titan forums faded away with no real conclusion.
All attempts at playing in the Kibun 'sandbox' as it were, from what I've been able to ascertain, is equivalent to walking up to the big tough gang at school and trying to show them your mad Kung Fu skills, after reading an entry about Martial Arts in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
That pretty much sums their/her effort up.

Swimming a bit further back upstream, my intent with bringing that sort of culturally-centered insult into the discussion was to point out that an attempt to be deliberately insulting to Mr. Kim could take into account cultural context. Sure, one would want to do a great deal more research into it that a cursory perusal of some US sites about doing business in Korea and some old threads on Titan...but since I made it clear I'd never contemplate such a thing anyway, that's irrelevant. The point was that such an attempt to insult should consider the cultural context of the intended recipient of the insult (like showing two fingers to an Englishman instead of flipping him the bird...)|

What I don't buy here is that to make such an insult is somehow intrinsically racist. It's not a denigration of the target's culture, it's an incorporation of elements of that culture into the insult. Huge difference. I can't speak for GG's actual view on Korean culture or racial Asians (again, big difference between the two). I can however speak for my own...and state unequivocally that no racism was remotely intended in the post that seems to have started this.
The follow-up care-o-meter post to IBtT? Posted because it reflects how I feel about that poster. Again, not racist...since I had no idea he/she is Korean until I read it in this thread, a few minutes ago. And I still don't care...
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
Admittedly, I was *SORELY* tempted on Cabbage Night to go TP/egg the NCsoft Seattle building. But figuring that jail time would suck, I chose discretion as the better part of valour.
But for pure snark... I'd arrange for the most obnoxious debt-collection agency I could find to go after NCsoft to try and collect about fifty grand from them, for all the videos I've made for COH over the past five years. That's probably a SERIOUS paycut on my part, though, but hey, it's all about compromise.

What do you expect from her? That's she's a racists B, -and- a sexist to boot, has been common knowledge for a long time. I won't have a thing to do with Titan's various CoH related projects as long as she's involved.

I would engrave his *** with a steel toe boot, if given the chance.
I would send him dreams. Wonderful, unforgettable dreams.
Dreams where he wields an ancient sword to fight off the unworthy. Of calling forth mystical blue flames to purify ancient temples of the unholy beings of the night that have gathered in their shadows. Dreams of flying into the sky, hovering with the moon between the city lights below, and the star filled heavens above.
Dreams that would leave him wanting to experience it again, even just a little bit, to try and recapture that feeling once more.
And I'd give it to him on the night of November 29.
