I can understand being defensive because of having to deal with a lot of trolls, but having that many supporters and popularity and to still be that oversensitive seems extremely insecure.

I agree, but I'm not sure it's being over sensitive. However I am neither a psychologist nor, more importantly, Broman himself, so I cannot speak to his motives and actions.

"Over sensitive" I can assure you Broman doesn't ban willy-billy. Only if someone is being a complete asshole, or is insulting his viewers. OP here was probably neigh a complete dick, trashing Broman for wanting to stand up for his friends out of loyalty and friendship (two things OP apparently doesn't have). He probably got fed up with it after a while of it happening.

Edited by Krantzstone: 6/5/2015 2:53:18 AMThreatening to beat people up over insults does sound puerile though. That is high school teenager stuff, or in this case, a grown man making with the false bravado and braggadocio, because it's easy to say you'd do that in some hypothetical situation that isn't likely to happen, because that is assault and battery, and I doubt 'fighting words' doctrine would cover words being said about someone else. Do Twitch streamers have a right to ban whoever they want from their stream for any reason? Sure, it's their stream. But does it make them appear dictatorial, oversensitive, insecure and having an overinflated sense of their own importance to ban people so casually? Yes, and they should not be surprised if people call them out publicly on their behaviour. And I think definitely people who make threats of violence over insults, aren't suitable people to be representing Destiny. I am sure there are plenty of cool Destiny players, even in these very forums, who are better deserving of that kind of access to the game, even if they don't have as many followers. Just because someone is popular doesn't mean they are above criticism, and certainly any questionable words or behavioura by them should be questioned if these Twitch streamers are being chosen by Bungie in an official capacity to advertise the game for them.
