I don't really understand the Spoodbeest hate here at all. I actually think he's a pretty good poster from what I've seen and read. I don't get the whole "under-rated" thing mind you, but I have no problem with SB whatsoever.
No doubt the guy is pre-occupied with green/red bars, rep power, and his reputation, or lack thereof, amongst his peers here on these forums, but so what? So the guy wants to be seen by others as a good poster, what's wrong with that? Better than some guys on here who try to make their reputations by flaming, trolling, etc., I think if SB would stop worrying about rep and whether or not he's under-rated, or at least shut the hell up about it, he'd be absolutely fine.
I cannot comment on the whole blog TV thing as I've never been on any of these things from anyone on here.
In my opinion, Spoodbeest is not a dick. He may be guilty of trying a little too hard, but there's worse faults that someone could have.
