The page exploded in an outrage as soon as the news was spread. It's not so much as what Kanluwen said below, but as the manner that he was fired in that has the community up in arms.

This is why you don't air your dirty laundry in public, and especially not when you don't have all the facts. For all you know, this guy could have been fired because of any number of reasons which GW wouldn't put forward to preserve the guy's integrity.

To judge the Manager's character, I think mikhaila sums it up (As he's one of the most know FLGS owners that posts regularly on Dakkadakka):

I'm quite shocked to see him let go by GW.

and Kanluwen, stop trolling. It's great to say "I have never seen so many "mature adults" behaving like spoiled children." when you, yourself are a blatant neckbeard troll

Hey there chief, You have a few issues on that FB page you might want to review before you go on and spout off at the hole at Kan on his perfectly reasonable statement.

Normally, I wouldn't respond, but in the matter of you saying your actually " Admin" that greek tragedy of a facebook page, you might want to hold what you got.

I saw exactly the same of what Kan saw on that embarrassment, and if thats your "Community", it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see one of the reasons that they fired him.
with the family friendly comments and spout off that you have going there, you calling Kan, "a blatent neckbeard troll" is a badge of honor.

Point blank thing for you to do is to go clean your mess up and report some facts, instead of letting that mess continue to fester and instigate more of your gak.

Don't pee in the wind again, chief.

He's not an "admin" of THAT facebook page, but rather a private one created for the community on facebook called "GW Voorhees". The one that your referring to is the company run page that only GW is an admin of. I don't think he made it quite clear in his post. It is a private group.

He has no control over the page that your referring to, and actually has helped keep things calm in the private group. If you noticed, the page that your referring to is called "Games Workshop: Echelon Village", while the page he referred to is "GW Voorhees".

As of now, most of the stuff on that page is done by trolls now.

So he comes over here to stir the pot?

He's referring to Kan as a neckbeard for stating an opinion of general knowledge that we see on the Facebook site- YOU referenced.

Instead of keeping to topic, lets slash and burn the conversation over symantics?


Good tactic, I guess. Keep on keeping it on target.

Sorry that you lost a valued member of your community.

But not telling you why he was fired was the right thing to do. Legally they CANNOT discuss this. If you want to know, the only person who can tell you anything is the guy who was fired. Heck, if I was GW, I would not even discuss or respond to anything regarding his termination.

Does anyone know if there are confid. clauses written in GW manager contracts?

Unfortunately, the only people that know why he was let go cannot legally discuss. The person in question could, I guess, if he want's to post here.

Once again, unfortunate situation for the community and the guy in question. I hope he finds something else that he enjoys doing job-wise.

The patrons of that store need to vote with their wallet, but it would also do them well to not treat the replacement disrespectfully, that guy had nothing to do with the decision.

I made this page a year or so ago: http://www.facebook.com/groups/162359720466994/ (GW Voorhees Group)

This is GW's Page on FB - http://www.facebook.com/GWEchelonVillage (GW Run)

The previous poster that mentioned that I was an admin, he was not implying the FB Page, but for the Tyranid Forum I'm an admin on. I run this ---> http://thetyranidhive.proboards.com/index.cgi

You're a funny guy bro!

Stir the pot? Naw bro! I just pointed out his obvious trolling. In any thread I read that has that Kan kid posting, I simply ignore. He's a very obvious troll; all forums have trolls, even mine.

He's only a troll if you don't know what a troll is.

I think I heard someone say that they weren't sugarcoating the truth or just telling it like it is (or something).

Regardless, this thread has devolved into bickering and insults.

Locked.
