What abusive parting gift would you leave TJ Kim?

I would give him the gift of sight...to feel in his heart how deeply loved this game is to the community, and ALL of the reasons why....I'd give him a truly deep sense of loss.

I really don't understand all this personal hatred of an individual. For all anyone knows, he's oblivious to this games closure at the specific level. But regardless, it was his company's game, not yours. You simply had lease-rights to it.

No hate here... well, okay. Maybe just a little.

I just want him to realize how special this game is, and to save it. Or at least, share our pain when it closes.

Because

A) It's funny.
B) Only whiners give a toss if we write in red or not.
C) Between the posts of whiners who fail to see the funny and light-hearted side of this thread and take everything too seriously, there are some gems being posted. Keep them coming guys. ^_^

Considering that over on the Titan network forums GG showed her true colors by actually suggesting (maybe in jest, but it was enough to get the thread modded by TonyV) that a kickstarter be started so that people could be hired to kill NCsoft Staff, I think that some people have a good reason to complain about her.

Although, considering that this is all meant to be in jest:

What would i send TJ Kim? Nothing...

What would I send to GG... the remains of her pets and family members, if i could find them that is.. Am sure she is a failed genetic experiment. Something has got to explain all the smilies that she uses.

I would not send any abusive parting gift to TJ Kim. I fully recognize that it is extremely unlikely that he is directly responsible for the decision to close City of Heroes, and attempting to locate those who do have final responsibility would likely be an exercise in futility.

I would probably send him and the rest of the company a fairly nice note, thanking them for the support they had given Paragon, and thanking them for providing me with some very important lessons about how to properly operate a business.

I would then express regret that I am unable to continue supporting the company, and leave off wishing them the greatest success in future endeavours.

Not if we could bring about the heat death of the unvierse - we'd get them then.

yeah but writing someone name in red to some Asians, is offensive, especially when it's their name that is written in red by another. It's like many other "offensive" things tha tare just words an symbols. It's not going to be offensive to everyone.

Like saying the n-word to African-Americans, especially if coming from someone who is not on a friendly level, can be considered offensive, but yet, it's just a word that long existed before it was used in the offensive term.

Or flag burning of the American flag, it's a mere piece of cloth on fire, offensive to some even though it's not cosidered offensive to burn say a wash rag. Or even buring of religious texts can be viewed as offensive even though it's just burning paper, paper that usualy comes from wood that is burnt commonly here in a fireplace.

It just so happen that writing someone name in red to may Koreans is offensive and even after that was pointed out someone kept doing it, which looks like the point it to offend Koreans and or other Asians.

A little less offensive but can be taken as offense is sending someone black roses, which means death even though it's just flowers, a plant, that grows.

Or as many here have pointed out, speaking ill about the dead person at their funeral, even though it may be truth, and that person is dead, and it's nothing but words but still cn be viewed as offensive.

Or pork, it's a meat, peopel eat it and nothign goes wrong, some people love some bbq pork ribs but to serve it to a known muslim or vegetarian can be viewed as offensive, veyr offensive in many cases.

To keep writing people name in red after it has been poited out as offensive to that culture is a total disrespect to that culture and that person and the way people react here to when they are disrespected the reactions from the people that take offense to it is not out of the ordinary when people are disrespected, including some that they say that only whiners gives a toss if they write in red or not, but it's not just writing in red that is the offensive part its the context and subject of it. That about whiners can be said about anythign that is offensive in reality. It could be said that only whiners only give toss that they are called the n-word or only whiners give a toss if they served pork and so on, by that logic in that statement about whiners.

I did suggest early on to spread the rumor that whoever's in charge in North Korea is a big CoH fan and it would be in South Korea's best interest for NCSoft to reconsider.

This is just about the most cowardly thing I have seen. It is pretty clear the last intent you had was to give IBtT any respect at all.

Its the thought that counts. Just because it doesn't phase me if someone calls me cracker or white trash doesn't make the statement any less racist.

This thread isn't light hearted, it is poison. There has been too much of this **** going around. Not the way I wanted to remember you folks, and not the way I want to be remembered.

Classy. You must feel very proud now. Best way to counter some one's insanity? Just sink lower than they did!

1st time I have *ever* attacked someone on these boards like that...

But considering that she had posts removed on the Titan Network forums for even *suggesting* a kickstarter to hire hitmen and go after NCSoft staff (as i said, it was removed), I felt it was just.

And as i said in my post, what *preceeded* what you quoted was all in jest

On the flip side, she has *never* said that anything was in humor, even on the Titan network forums. And infact, has been fairly adamanent on being (in my mind) rude and abusive towards Koreans as possible.

*shrugs* It is no skin of my nose, and if you feel offended by what I said, then so be it.

Be just as offended by what GG has done...

First time for everything. Feel good? Proud maybe?

Offended? Why? I'm just intrigued by the fact you don't see the hypocrisy. You went on to call her out on something and then made sure to kick the soap box from under your own feet.

Not that many comments after the announcement and most of those are Austin or Seattle based and center around two themes; too much control and bureaucracy from Korea and a lack of cultural understanding about the western game market and play style.
