By now you know about the self destruction of Paul Christoforo from Ocean Marketing. If you don’t, you can get caught up by following these links: Start here. Then you can check here. Then you can go here.
Today, his twitter stream got a little update: (Start at the bottom if you are not familiar with Twitter.)
Pauls Twitter Stream for 12/29/2011
He doesn’t seem to get that he did wrong. It’s weird.
He seems to think that saying sorry for all that is all he needs to do when he only got “sorry” when he realized he was defeated. Saying sorry when you are broken and defeated means nothing. It means you are sorry you are broken and defeated. Saying you are sorry means something when you have power. He thinks he is a victim here, set up to be “crucified.” He started the fight, he was the instigator by being short and rude in the emails first.
I don’t think he will ever get it. He’s right about one thing: he is not a customer service person. The way he talked to that customer makes me think he cares nothing for people at all unless they have something he wants.
He is just a dick.
UPDATE: 1/04/12
He is still a dick and still deflecting. Amazing.
I guarantee this will not harm Paul much. If anything he will be better off and people who are never dicks to their customers will sit in obscurity and make $14.00 an hour until they are dead. Because that is how life works. Dicks survive and thrive because they eat the meek.
Ultimately he IS a bad guy. That is the point that he keeps missing. He needs to dig deeper.
He still blames Gabe when Gabe was asking normal questions and was not getting nice answers. Paul was being a dick, and was a dick to the wrong kid.
He uses the analogy of a guy in a bar that picks a fight with a random guy. Paul, that is why you don’t pick fights with random guys, THAT is what makes you a dick. The fact is, if you do that enough, you ARE going to pick a fight with a guy who doesn’t look like much, but will bury you. You were a dick before he buried you. He didn’t entrap you you were a dick.
The real difference is, after the guys beats you to pulp, most people would say, “man, I should not have started picking bar fights with people at all and I should have seen this coming. I’m not going to do that any more.”
But what do you say? ” It’s Gabe’s fault because he knew he could kick my ass.” That makes no sense at all when you are the one who started it, and THAT is what you are missing.
And this?
How many did you pick a fight with?
How many did you kick the crap out of before you met the MMA Champ?
I cannot be considered a gamer, I don’t care about any of that. I am just interested in this because Paul is one of those people that feels like the world owes him something because he is so awesome. I have a real problem with people like Paul.
What really irritates me is that with all the screaming about how he was wronged, nothing all that bad is going to happen to Paul. A bunch of idiots sending him emails. That’s it. Does it suck, yeah, but it will blow over. He will be fine and make more next year than most people their whole lives. Because that is how the world works in 2012. Great things happen to bad people all the time.
He said that it wasn’t any of Penny Arcade’s Business. What a crock.
Paul, you’ve got all these new options open to you. Congratulations, being a dick is really paying off. Win huh? You are still a dick.
