I guess the way to deal with business misconduct is more business misconduct?
[quote name="Souffle of Pain"][quote name="Worm"]I'm sure no writer on kotaku has pointed it out but pennyarcade is a business and their comic is the product(it's hard to remember this given their behavior), they use the comic to drive ad revenue and product sales. So essentially you get wronged by a business, cry to a bunch of other businesses, and hope they'll ask their reader base to lose their shit and <a href="http://ca.kotaku.com/paul-christoforo/">threaten his two month old with death</a>.[/quote] He comes off even worse in that Kotaku piece. Wow, he got 7,000 e-mails. Go to your settings, create a filter and for 72 hours make it delete everything. Wow, he is getting "phone calls." If it's a landline, take the phone off the hook. Otherwise change your number. Guy had a fucking Google Voice number. I'm ... thinking he can get another one of those. Get a whitelist app for your phone. These aren't difficult problems to solve. This guy is a typical piece of shit that thinks he's 'street' because he is a white guy that grew up in Boston, who can't last two minutes outside of his comfort zone without Murph, Sully and Jack-O giving the stinkeye to the darkie who entered the bar. He's saying how he has EVEN MORE followers on Twitter, guys! Oh and he's gonna wear a shirt saying he's Paul Fagbot at PAX East this year. Man, he's shaken up. This guy is really sorry. If anything, he hasn't been given enough shit in this. Here is Souffle of Pain's guide to dealing with being the internet's diaper for a week: kill your incoming e-mail connection*. You'll be OK if you miss a few, people will understand. Eve Online will still send them at two or three a day when this all blows over. Hang up your phone and remember that none of these little shits are going to actually do anything to your wife or kids. Fuck, there's a new Steam sale in an hour. They're not going to miss that. If you're paranoid then go buy a handgun. Place a $50 under a brick in your house and invite nerds to come get it. You will probably lose your job, but if you're sending out your resumes, use your middle name instead. Unemployment lasts for four years these days. Enjoy it- you paid for it. And remember that the internet has a notoriously short memory. Remember Todd Goldman? He's still ripping people off. He had one bad week and then immediately went back to stealing the art of others. *Of course, you can't stop yourself from getting new e-mail if you love drama or want to be interviewed on Gizmodo or whatever.
