He knows what it means to be rejected from a party for being a hybird. He knows what it means to fight over loot with almost every other class in the game. He knows what it means to walk the challenging path of the PvP resto shaman (although he is PvE specced at the moment). Most of all though, he knows the deep sadness of a class with no crowd control. Hopefully this man will take the same action that I would in his position. Namely: nerf warlocks.

When posts are made with incorrect and insulting terminology it makes Boing Boing look bad and alienates the very people they are trying to reach out to. It's kind of like how you might feel if your grandma asked to use your "google box." A minotaur is a figure from Greek mythology, a tauren is a similar yet different creature imagined by Blizzard games at some point in the 1990s. A "Dwarf" is an insensitive slur against little people, in a fantasy context they're called "Dwarves." Neither of these are the correct label for a video containing a Gnome.
