As usual, I'm late to the party. Nice hair, slick.

We all say things we regret. This alone does not make us bad people. It's when we habitually behave the same way to others publicly that makes us "douches". Overcompensation is, perhaps, a way of being a douche. But, again, if it is done with regularity. I have been lurking this blog for nearly a year now. Though I never met Wil in person (as no one believes there are gamerss here in Regina, SK so no annual events come here), and I've never conversed with him on twitter or any other medium, this is the only time I have seen him flip. Does this make him a douche? No. I've never seen him behave in a manner that would lend me to believe he has an elitist attitude. I've seen the opposite. Wil doesn't know me. But I know him enough to say that he is not like that. Am I a brown-noser for saying so? I guess that would depend on how you define it. It definitely seems that brown-nosing is something you find extremely offensive. That's fine, you are just as human I hope. Otherwise, why are aliens so interested in Wil Wheaton all of a sudden?.

I would disagree that he was intent on trolling. After a few messages back and forth between GP and I he seemed honestly perplexed as to why @wilw was so offended. he even suggested at one point that he would like to know what it was that set @wilw off his HULK SMASH. I pointed out that he was careless with his wording and had shown him where I felt he messed up. I think he understands now that he royally screwed up.

What I saw was that GamePolitics was careless in his wording of his messages. Other messages from GamePolitics evidence his carelessness and I fully understood then, as now, how his comments could have been construed as negative. No, Wil, you did not come off as a jerk last night. The onus was on GamePolitics to make his messages understood. It's good to see your openness with this issue, but it is not necessary, as your feeling of insult was warranted. Besides, it was late, dude.
