Am I the only one that thinks this thread is unnecessary? All Shaun has to do is Block the guy on twitter. No need for even MORE negativity.
Some people share the same feeling as you while others don't. I don't think what Static is asking us to do is necessarily negative since it's merely reporting him versus lashing out at the guy.

All Tim did was ask people to report him. Not to say anything, not to make threats, not to be negative. Report him on twitter, that's it. Let twitter make the decision on him. We can have a voice that way, and at the same time, reach out to one of our own, Shaun, and say "we've got your back". Nothing wrong with that.

Exactly what Phil said.

If this asshat wins, WE ALL lose. Shaun is a great guy & it infuriates me this happened. We as a group can stand together to show our love & support. That's all. :coffee:

The negativity was from @Tim Static 's post. Regardless, I get it. I guess what I was getting at was us making the issue into a much bigger issue while the Block button (no pun intended) is there.

Well I mean, the report button is there for a reason.

I mean if I was to start threatening to kill people's families on TYM would you prefer that people report me or would you say "don't worry guys, just block him!"

I get it, sweety. Do you understand what I was getting at though, at least? lol
Not entirely sure now to be honest. I wasn't intending anything negative tho i realized one side of this whole thing could be taken that way by certain people. But that is something this moron should have thought about before he posted that (along with the dozens of other tweets he's threaten people with, if you scroll down his Twitter page). Still, two wrongs don't make a right & that isn't what I want people to do. I want people to expose him to Twitter so he gets his account shutdown & Shaun see's the positive side of staying with us on Twitter. :coffee:

What an idiot, probably JTF....you know I found out via plenty of friends that prick has people's real names and info on his garbage site and nobody does anything? People from here. Isn't there a law against people who harrass others via site, twitter etc? That dude just flat out threatened him...should file charges, dead serious btw. At any rate, it's sad that people like them exist.

This is sad. Shaun's been nothing but nice to the MKC and has answered me too at times with questions. Sad moronic trolls like this have to ruin it.

There's no arguing with this, LOL.

Really likes to throw things at you.
I'd respond to your question, but since you've moved the goalposts for some reason, I doubt you'd listen.
I have no idea what that means. Simply put that if you consider threatining a man's wife and child "banter" and you were to say that to anyone's face in Texas it would be considered "Assault by threat" (I am a police officer fyi) and then the person you said it to would have every legal authority to punch you sqaure in the face, call me, and then I would take you tk jail.

Threats are not "banter" just because you are online does not give you some magical ability to be more of an ass than you already are and have the gravity of what you said taken any less seriously.

So my question for you guys is...
Are you upset that he said he wanted to have sexual relations with his woman? or are you looking at it like that's basically saying you want to rape her? There is a difference.
I guess I'm just insensitive to shit like this because people talk reckless on the internet all the time to celebrities. It comes with the territory. I say Block/Report him and move on. He wont be the first internet troll and wont be the last.

Come on man...you possibly can't be FOR this...
actually no, i'm not
You replied with the stupid, not me. What you said wasn't my point whatsoever, tho I knew the guy is asking for it, and frankly deserves it. But fact is that it doesn't help. Two wrongs still don't make a right.
what exactly was your point? you saw something you didn't like, gathered your troops,and told them to attack (read -> report the guy)
read this as you "cool off" :rolleyes: ---> http://www.paradiger.com/mortal-kombat-xs-producer-shaun-himmerick-quits-twitter-because-of-threats-against-family/

cause there is no way u took the time before posting thinking you would save this thread by playing Devil's Advocate
i wasnt trying to save or play anything, i was pointing out the fact that, like tim said, two wrongs dont make a right

LOL you guys really think he knows who Shaun's wife is? LOL @ everyone who thinks this dude is actually serious.
Who said they believe he knows who she is? It's more about what he said he'd do to her than anything. Whether he knows her or not is irrelevant. He just went too far with his comment.

But they do give people that ability because, for the most part, they are considered banter. Whether you like it or not, the implications of things on the web and in reality are two different things. That's why it doesn't make sense to compare them.

Props to everyone who hit the report /block button and didn't say anything stupid to the lil shit.

For those that want to "defend" Shaun NRS employees will see this thread and know / tell him how we all like him. But going after this dude is just as bad as i believe @Tim Static or someone else said two wrongs don't make a right.

I feel that this thread is good to again show Shaun that the real fans don't do that kinda stupid shit. I also hope Shaun makes an example out of this dude. I mean not trying to be a dick but the dude had like 2 followers when I blocked him earlier and just posts stupid shit..

Nobody had to. If he knew who she was and where she lived, then it would be more of a threat. At least I think so. So how is that irrelevant? Especially given the fact that he doesn't know her. At least I hope not, because then his comment would carry more weight in being a threat.
