Yep. I would point out that in the old forums, any posts of mine outside of the Tech Support forum would still appear in white (because the old forums could work like that), however any of the game forums where my status as forum MVP is activated, all my posts regardless where have to be in green. So I do have to be somewhat careful with what I say because I don’t want others to think I represent Blizzard.
Realistically, what is important that is my personal policy to do what I can to try and make the Overwatch community a better place and being a forum MVP helps me fulfill that goal. If other opportunities come around to fulfill that goal, I am going to try to pursue those (even if it means an opportunity to join Blizzard as an employee). That being said, outside of Overwatch, I do have personal goals and ambitions that I wish to also pursue.

Nope. If you make a claim, the burden of proof is on you. The more serious the claim, the greater the burden. You are free to disregard this basic rule of human decency, but to do so is both illogical and rude.
Nobody can make you not rude or make you not complain about the obvious consequences of your actions. But you should at least do so knowing them.

Looking at these comments and seeing people’s posting number makes me really think people just like to argue even if it’s over nothing.

no the mvps dont work for blizz
if they did they wouldnt have said role queue beta stats “didnt affect” ur real sr
Is it? Is it though? I don’t feel like it is. I don’t feel burdened. Nothing is forcing me to prove my opinion. As such, I have to wonder what the “consequences of my actions” are that I am apparently complaining about. So far, none. None at all.
I feel like I am deep seated in reality and you’re blowing hot air. What you are saying sounds nice but it’s really your personal belief, and not what I know to be real.
But please. Preach on, I’m sure someone is reading what you’re saying and thinking “Yes, can I get a hallelujah! Preach!”

This is true though, I did make a mistake, but one that I thought I had thoroughly investigated. I would point out though that I was the one who stepped forward and asked the Dev team on the forums for the clarification, and they did correct me (and I am appreciative of that).

Honestly that’s not your mistake, that’s on the devs.
If you ask me, that is.

Also I have a tech question, I have been posting on the forums since launch. Hell the first month overwatch was launched I had the most playtime on tracer in the world and loved talking about it. But when I changed my name to MrFeelNice. The history cleared.
“Burden of proof” is the name of a societal concept. It is not a literal burden.
You have complained multiple times that you have received pushback against your accusation, which is a natural consequence of violating a social norm that’s so well established it’s baked into our legal system.

Yeah, that is how the PlayOverwatch.com website works, it treats it like a new account. I know because I changed this account’s BattleTag (before I became a forum MVP) twice.
I don’t know that I complained, I am pretty sure I just reasserted that my opinion wasn’t going to change because some rando on the internet told me my opinion is wrong. But I guess perception is everything, when you’re dead wrong on all counts.
So I was right in that it isn’t real and it’s just a concept, a construct, that I didn’t even come up with, that you’re trying to force upon me.
Right. Have a nice day.

Darn, while some I liked disappeared I am sad I lost that first months posts 
And I support this from my little corner.
Don’t take this as me criticizing you personally, or at all, I just had a “problem” that their word will be taken as fact, even if it’s not true, and mainly because the title in combination with the green makes them seem like official employees.
If you join Blizzard, hit me up with Blizzard Starbucks cake. 
That is VERY good to know.
Thank

I am not aware of any exclusive pastries at their Starbucks… only the hidden drinks menu like the Zerg Rush Frappucino (which is tasty).

I am going to keep asking questions since they can be answered kinda quick on this. (Feel free to not answer if I annoy you 
)
Do you know if blizzard is going to let out a stat sheet again any time soon? I liked seeing those.
Edit: like game stats. Hero stats, win loss ratios?
As in the devs posting facts about the current state of the game? That is definitely outside of my realm, so I can’t answer that.
This doesn’t sound like just restating your opinion to me.
Neither does this. Those look swipes and complaints.
All societal manners are social constructs thrust upon us by society. This particular social constructs though is so solid that it’s baked into our legal system and affects humanity’s views on justice.
It applies to you whether or not you agree with or like it. And I’m not the one that placed it on you, nor is anyone alive today responsible. This concept goes back hundreds of years.
If you don’t want to subscribe to it. That’s fine. You are entitled to that opinion. But you should be aware that getting pushback on your opinions that you didn’t enjoy reading are the least of the possible consequences of ignoring it.

I don’t know that you know what a complaint is. I see no complaints there. Do you know the textbook definition of a complaint? Have you complained before? Have you ever received one? Before you answer, you should know, those were rhetorical questions. I feel like it’s paramount that I clarify that.
I didn’t read much more beyond the parts you quoted me in; they were the only good parts. You seem incredibly invested in this conversation. I assumed you’d realize a while ago that I’m not. I don’t care about how you feel about societal norms. They do not apply in this space, where there is no one to enforce it.
Feel free to respond. I won’t be, nor will I be reading any dragged out, contrived exposition you have to offer. I need to go make some dinner. Again, have a nice day.

Their Starbucks needs a buff then. They need the cake that Hanzo bought in the Reflections comic.
