So what happens if this guy commits suicide?

It's disgusting that the internet hate mob thinks that it's okay to ruin a persons life just because he sent a series of anger charged emails.



he should take his own advice and grow thicker skin.

Wow...even the creator is extremely shady. Update 15 has all the links, but here is a summary.


"I discovered that on Amazon David Kotkin was on a bit of uneven footing not that long ago on 11.24.11, prior to yesterday's events with Paul Christoforo and Ocean Marketing. Scrolling down beyond the 1-star review reveals comments from David Kotkin's Gaming Pro Amazon user profile to other users. Notably, according to user C. K. Ahlstrom, "There's a review on your account saying that you bought one of these things (and loved it). Now your posting with an email account from avengercontroller.com and offering support for it? You also posted the same negative review for three of your competitors products. I wonder if amazon will want to know you post reviews for your own product while posing as a customer." Looking deeper into the Gaming Pro user turned into a dead end as any comments are not visible, but this appears to be the tip of the iceberg."

yeah i know it's broken. i saw his tweet about that earlier before i saw why it was getting slammed. i can't even begin to imagine how many hits they're getting to break servers that are designed to handle millions of hits a day already.



Reddit, 4chan and Twitter.

The combined power of those three places slamming your site would bring down about anybody hehe



Get Slashdot involved as well and you'd have complete hell.

so now pretty much the entire world knows this guy. I bet there's Kenyans running 25+ miles with lions chasing them to get from village to village just to tell them about this moron.

Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
