I find this whole entire thing completely hilarious really, mostly over Seifer making a mountain out of an ant hill.
Siefer came to TLS expecting us to bend over backwards about a project he's doing. I, myself, was very impressed with him replacing the chibi character models and replacing them with updated realistic version, and I stated this, I thought it was brilliant. But then a few pages down the line, it started to go wrong.
He started recommending lines to retranslate, the most famous being 'flunkies'. He continued to reiterate that this word was
wrong. But you know why his reasons for it being wrong? Because he didn't know what it meant when he first saw it. The rest of us in the thread had a good time, lolled, and disagreed saying it was a well known word and that it should stay.
But he wouldn't let it go. He continued to insist on replacing the word (to clones or copies) and therefore ruining the context of which the word was used (Because Cloud and the player don't KNOW yet that they're clones/copies... they're just servants who do Seph's bidding.) And he CONTINUED on with his berating of the word, because he was embarrassed that he was the only one who didn't know what it meant.
So when he found that we still wouldn't agree, he then resorted to the name calling (ignorant arrogant assholeish fanboys anyone?) and then left if a huge tissy, trying to delete all his posts (which were later restored for lulz) because he didn't want his embarrassment to be intact. He wanted it to just be a memory (cwutididthar?
)
After he left, we lolled in his absence, and yes talked about coming to "pin him against friends" at this forum. But not to ruin it, but more to establish the wrong picture he's painting for our reputation. He's STILL continuing with the name calling, claims he's over it, and yet tells us to gtfo his forum. Is that really the talk of someone who's over it?
Granted I came over here with hostile intentions, but the way that he continued to disagree with an opinion that wasn't his own (I still think Cait Sith shouldn't be removed) he then tells me to gtfo of HIS forum. That it's not MINE. Is that exactly a warm welcome to any member of ANY intentions? He was acting in a much childish way at TLS and we never once told him to leave because he wasn't welcomed. In fact, we encouraged him to stay and provide sources. But when he was caught in the corner and couldn't find said sources (re: 5 forums who don't know the word flunky, all agree with him, the over 9000 Japanese translators at his feet) he then realized he needed to leave and then trash talk us behind our back.
Whooo... that was a whole lot of tl;dr, but hopefully some of you will look at it that way.
