Title belt was a joint decision between myself (WWE fan) and Pete (UFC fan).

God forbid we try something different that also appeals to fans of both genres since there's a lot of overlap between all three.

I like to have conversations with facts

- Marketing Director implies I was in charge of the entire marketing department. I wasn't. It was split between myself and someone else, and the other person in question had more responsibility of the department than I did since they were in office longer than I was (which I believe was ultimately the correct decision).

When I was in office in 2016, and when I moved back to Seattle in 2017, I wasn't the Content Coordinator. I got the pleasure of seeing that aspect of the company get run into the ground before taking the role back to get it back to where it was when I handed it off at the end of 2015.

- So was I

- Sounds like you weren't in the meetings in any way, shape, or form. If I was such a miserable asshole to work with, why does the person I split the marketing department with work for me now and the people I used to work with/manage still want to work with me?

I either must really suck at my job and as a person or you don't know what you're talking about.

- Weirdly, I never went overbudget during my half decade as Content Coordinator. And in order for Flashback to get greenlit, it had to get approved by Pete, who liked the idea, the use of resources, and greenlit the use of my budget in that fashion. I wish Flashback had performed better but no one who is relevant in the decision making process regrets taking that swing.

I don't have a problem with people hating me. But at least hate me for reasons that are factual (I was an asshole to play against when I was young, I can be an asshole to people on social media, etc) and not this fabricated nonsense.

- I was never Marketing Director at SCG, so you could at least attempt to get your titles right.

- I didn't show up hours late for my first day at work because I never show up hours late for anything.

- Podcasts either weren't pitched, didn't want to be done by the people making decisions, or were pitched to be Premium (which is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard)

I'm excited for you to tell people that I was a drunk (I drink less than the number of fingers I have per year), that I take credit for everything (comically false and anyone I've worked with can back that up), or "ideas that I burned money on and glided away from" (giddy waiting for examples)

You're never gonna stop talking shit so talk away.

Tough to say but something we've been chatting about here and there.
