Threatening to buy a website cause they made fun of you is pretty fascist. Ngl

Especially as a gov employee.

I mean, it's childish...

But I think you and I have different views of fascism. You can still make fun of musk on twitter.

He got it removed for a day. He still refuse to believe that musk isn't cheating. Asmon took it as a joke.

I haven't followed the saga too closely to be honest though, but what you are comparing is a spat between people. I see comments trashing him on twitter all the time. It's about who you follow.

Yeah but asmon took it as a (poor) joke and he got it back the next day. I don't think this is as serious of a conflict as people are making it out to be.

If there is widespread banning for shitting on musk it might put it in a different light.

Asmon didn't apologize or get back in line. He still says musk is cheating. Musk later admitted it. He literally said he pays someone to play his account with him.

No the argument and removal of checkmate at the time wasn't about the salute. It was about cheating in PoE

Then what the hell are you talking about "emotional moment" that got him banned.

Surely you couldn't be talking about removing the blue check mark. I already mentioned him calling that a joke, and it wouldn't resolve the issue where he is still calling him a cheater and should be banned by the devs from PoE.

I assumed it was the salute to give you the benefit of the doubt.
