Having met Jason in person I know he is nowhere near the ***hole that is being claimed by some in this thread.
This is the same kind of logic that gets attributed to those who criticise BoS that if you criticise you must somehow hate the game or hate Jason and think he is an "***hole" or that the whole game is awful. For some there seems to be no middle ground that you can criticise without damning the whole game or person. I speak as I find and when I went to Jason for help I was treated like a whining child and treated with contempt. His other actions like posting an expletive filled rant at Bongodriver, the payment of shills to counter criticism etc. are just examples of his behaviour that I've commented on that I have disliked but I don't think that just because of those examples he must be an evil person who drowns puppies in his spare time.
