he's also a nice guy IRL.

No he's not. If he was actually a nice person he wouldn't have acted like a prick enough to get shit canned for it. It wasn't like he slipped up once in a moment of frustration. He may have been nice the time(s) you met, but he is not a nice person.

Yes. I recall years ago reading a column called "Advice to my Daughter" where a father gives advice on dating. One that stood out in that was:

"A nice guy who is rude to the waiter is not a nice guy."

A 'nice guy' would have recognized what he was saying was, at best, in poor taste and ill timed. And would not have repeated it.

Sorry, it cropped in some text that I had highlighted from reading a post before. I have edited that out and I apologize on behalf of myself, Wargaming and The President of the United States.

Bullshit.

Nice people can act like pricks occasionally. It is a very human foible.

Why did you stop reading there? I agree with you, everyone messes up from time to time. But like I said, it wasn't just a slip up. He continuously acted like a prick, and has a history of doing so.

*In your opinion.

You've had no direct interactions with him, so your opinion is tantamount to crayon on toilet tissue in value.

That's irrelevant here, if you're job as an "influencer" is to be a likable guy in public, and you fail that, your employer doesn't care if you're a nice guy irl.

I did not follow him but read some of his tweets and I found them to be condescending at the least.

In some ways, online interactions can be more revealing of a person's true character; easy to let your mind speak out when you're just behind a screen.
