Fair enough, your words were unclear I guess.

You have to understand though that even if it was an honest mistake, it is still one that leaves people puzzled. I can't understand why your surprised that the immediate reaction is that people think the manager is foolish in this case. They (and I) assumed that Leonan had made that choice. It's a logical assumption and you can't really expect people's first reaction to be, "Oh hey, that was probably some form of mouse wheel error". Obviously people would have been more understanding if they immediately knew what was going on.

On top of that, no one is disrespecting Leonan as a person because no one knows him. They are pointing out a specific event in which this person made a mistake. Basically, your argument is that every time someone criticises a person, it's showing a lack of respect and that isn't true. People also criticise with different levels of vulgarity. One person might say a team is run by an incompetent idiot while another one could say that the team is run poorly. The second one is obviously the nicer of the two but they mean the same thing.

Calling someone a clown or his actions idiotic is not an acceptable form of criticism. It is rude and disrespectful, and definitely unnecessary. If someone wants to criticize someone else, it needs to first know what they are talking about and know exactly what happened, and secondly they need to do so respectfully and with constructive (and not offensive) intentions.

Unfortunately there are some people that think being an asshole is fun, and that don't care about other people's feelings. The only reason I came here to complain was because other brazilians were outraged with the disrespect being demonstrated by some people here. I had not even seen this until now, since I was forced to dramatically reduce my BB time. Gladly Leonan himself have not seen any of this.

This kind of offensive and disrespectful behavior by a minority is what unfortunately stains the BB forums and creates flame wars and similar things. So I just think it should be avoided. If there is a group of people that likes to act this way,and think it's ok to do so, then they should do so in between themselves, not towards other people that they don't even know.

How dare you call raonne a hypocrite. You're really showing us the true attributes of your character.

This discussion will get us nowhere. No matter how much both sides tell their story it won't do anything productive, it's just a waste of time.

Personally I understand both sides of the story and think everybody should respect what everybody is saying here because everyone is making sense in a way.

Anyway let's stop, what are we trying to achieve here?

So now you guys call ME names... Now i'm a clown and a hypocrite. Great. And somehow I'm the one who doesn't see "both sides of an argument". I fail to see the fun and ok part of calling someone names. Terrible me. You guys fail to see the rude and disrespectful side of it...

Anyway, I see this is a waste of time. If you haven't been properly raised and educated until now, it's probably too late. I'm out of here. Have a good life, I really hope we don't ever cross paths in the real world.

I quoted exactly what makes you a hypocrite... So I wasn't speculating. You judge me without knowing me... yet you accuse me of judging others in same conditions. That's hypocrisy, by definition.
