This whole deal is almost starting to remind me of
, except it's more entertaining than disturbing.
that type of stuff always seems hypocritical / self-righteous to me, most of the people commenting in videos like that probably eat cows and pigs and chickens and such, which tend to be tortured far worse than that cat was during their lives. i'm not a vegetarian or anything, but cruelty is cruelty.

I think we all need to start sending out e-mails to the board members, directing their attention to this!
Would it be worth it? would it make the IGDA better? I personally don't care about this association , and maybe it's better if they have Langdell at the helm, since it seems to be full of people of the same genre anyway.

i think most of the board don't care. the best you could do is attend local igda meetings and inform local chapters and such about it, in hopes of voting him out eventually. what's funny is that even though there are 11000 members, the people who actually vote for the board are few -- langdell apparently got 700 votes, which was enough to win a seat and the second-highest of any board member

Sorry Eclipse, I own the trademark for KIND (TM). You must use "genre" or some other word. I'd tread carefully if I were you...

Nice. EDIT: And I ain't judging anyone's English. It's just an amusing choice of word.

I've seen Alec defending his trademarks.
Gruesome stuff.

Because two wrongs make a right.

Seriously though, in the end it's about making him realize he should just give Mobigames the right to use the name Edge. I think making him miserable might be a step on the way.

Hate is a positive feedback mechanism, in the mathematical sense of the word. It makes a bad situation worse. If everything we've found out about Tim Langdell is true, then he absolutely should be stripped of his authority, and perhaps publicly humiliated to discourage people from acting the way he did. But there's a big difference between that, and making his life miserable just because you can. We need to demonstrate that we have more maturity than Tim Langdell.

No reason to run the guy into the ground. If there's a way to stop him from doing these things, it's probably not getting up in his grill. And if you do get him to stop, no reason to be in his grill anymore.
I meet shitty people all the time, if I got into it with every one of them I wouldn't have any time for myself.

No it wouldn't. Is it a sunny day where you are? Go outside. Walk to the park. Hug somebody.

I'm not actually a sadist! Throughout all this crazy obsessive internet sleuthing my goal has always been clear, to get Edge back on the Apple store.
Also, I took your advice Corpus, and now I'm being charged with sexual assault.
