But oh well...
I mean, I get where you are coming from, I don't know how old you are, but I've been part of internet communities since 1999 and there's always a few that participate in bad faith, and if you aren't used to it, it can definitely push you away from those communities.
I was at the event, and I got a chance to talk to Talbot too, and these guys are genuinely nice people, trying bring quality content of this sport we enjoy doing; I'm not saying that we should only throw flowers at them, and fellate their egos, but let's not deceive ourselves and pretend there aren't people out there just wanting to be asses to others just because they are anonymous on the internet, and some people just can't handle that.
I don't see anywhere any suggestion by both, Lionel and Talbot, that these "haters" should be banned from ST, they simply decided not to participate.
