Does not compute
So, I was on my standard issue drive home today, and because of bad baltimore traffic, decided to check my facebook. My mobile phone makes drives bearable.
I perused the status' of my friends to see the following status:
Johnathan Lugo - why does he keep asking to host. I will keep saying no until he gets that I do not like him.
I did not know what it referred to, so I quickly used my bookmarks to trace down the viridian thread, where I suspected there was an issue. I found the following post:

I have heard that song so many times
ok guys this is the time I ask for people to bring setups. We need at LEAST 15 to make this work. Please post up so I can set up discounts and such!!
I can bring a full set-up, and I'm willing to help with hosting stuff.
I saw one of my favorite event hosts offering to help out. Not even talking about himself as he's known to do, but just simply offering a helping hand.
So I make the following comment:
Scott Robertson II - I think he knows you dont like him but still wants to help out anyways because he likes to help. You should let him know and not push him off.
I figure, hey, if you're gonna hate on the guy, at least try to work out your differences right? Or at least let him know.
Shortly after, I got a notification that Johnathan Lugo commented on his status. I clicked on the link to get this message:
And I was like "oh stupid browser." So I clicked on johnathan lugo's name to get to his wall, and saw the following message:
So wait, what? Have I been deleted from facebook? So I texted EE to confirm this, and he does confirm. I'm confused. What did I do wrong? Like instead of talking to me, I'm just deleted? Did you want me to go away?
And so, by deleting me from facebook, Alex Strife simply lengthened the very problem he is complaining about. Instead of addressing something at it's core and making a good decision, he just avoids the problem. I'd love to talk about this, but is this how you treat someone who's continually supported your events and brought people to them? Someone who's helped you out and teamed with you in the past? Someone who ran the livestream when no one else would at your very first Brawl National?
Would love to work this out sometime! Please PM me. You deleted me, not the other way, so I'll wait for you to talk to me when you're ready. I think this is a lot bigger than me defending someone I respect.
Until then, Ladies and Gentleman, your APEX 2010 host.
