    It was said during streams, but yes, I did find a video that captured it, the clips of the quotes end at about 7 min and start from where I linked.

    Yes. People can disagree, disagreeing doesn’t mean someone must be wrong or mistaken. But in this case. He very much was wrong and mistaken.

    And you don’t have to try and strawman this. I have neither harassed, swated, or made any threats, at all, against him. Nor have I ever advocated for it. I have also not claimed anyone deserves that treatment.

      Update: only just got a chance to watch it and his “eat my entire ass comment” seems not to be related to the initiative itself but to the way Ross framed how the initiative was going to be easy to make into law becuase of a bunch of really weird reasons unrelated to the merit of the initiative that seemed very backhanded and sketchy. I completely agree that Ross’s comment were incredibly slimy and cynical even as I still mostly agree with the initiative. Just seems like people are taking the comment out of that context and getting pissed over something he didnt actually say or mean about the initiative itself. And, as i said before, I couldn’t give two fucks about personal beef between creators. I know nothing about Ross Scott and have only seen him in this context.

      Thank you for the link.

      Didn’t say that you are. But for some reason you are arguing with me while I’m just saying that he doesn’t deserve all that. If we agree on that don’t know why you’re concerned with my comments.

        When you’re telling me there’s no need to swat him, that implies that I seem to think that there is. Because why else would you bring up such a negative action and explain it’s something we don’t need to do?

          My point was that this rage mill has produced a lot of extreme negativity and this post, among others, and the comment thread within, is propogating it. And, as far as I can tell, it is over, at best, Thor taking the possibilities of this petition as written to the extreme to illustrate his concerns for its vagueness. And even if he is dead wrong, completely mistaken, and now knows it and won’t admit to it, that does not, in anyway, justify the position he is put in now. I’m not say that you personally support him being swatted, or getting death threats, but not letting this shit go after a year of bullshit, letting it fester and boosting the rage, that’s what leads to that shit. Just let it go.

            The guy took something he didn’t understand and shat all over it to his audience, when told he didn’t understand it he did nothing at all to correct his mistake or even admit one had been made.

            And as a result he’s being clowned on. And people are finding more and more things that follow this line of behavior from him and clowning him on that too.

            If you act like an asshole. You’ll get treated like one. There’s a reason no one was talking shit about Bob Ross.
