In all of his videos he talks sh!t but plays absolutely terrible! He's always talking sh!t but he's always the one dying LOL! In one of the videos where the guy is being an a-hole, he's playing KZ2 and he runs up to the enemy and yells "I'm gonna get these queers!" but instead, he immediately dies! Haha! He looks so stupid.

The first thing the court will show him is this:

Then they'll show him the door.

All online services should ban offensive people, not as an act of censorship, but just for the sake of everyone else.

I hope he keeps suing Sony. That way his idiocy becomes even more well known, he expends more of his financial resources that he cannot then use to purchase another platform to trash talk.

I wonder if he may also have a Steam or Live account from which he was banned as well. Normally such morons will not rely on a single outlet for their stupidity and angst. If he loses this case I fully expect him to continue his online displays in some manner.

Obviously doesnt realise Sony dont have to allow him to play online and can revoke his PSN privilages at any point

And doesn't Sony have the right to "non-speech" when it comes to trash talk and racial slurs? Their networks, their bandwidth, their right to not speak; or rather, not let certain people speak.

So watch this idiot win this case, because the American civil court system is f*cked up anymore.

What company in their right mind WOULD allow such behavior to go unpunished?

He already lost the case. This is his appeal. He'll lose this one too.

I suffer a form of disorder similar to classic agoraphobia myself(a side product of being Bi Polar I'm afraid which makes mkixing in the real world miore difficult for me and makes my physical problems worse as well)and I don't see, for a second, why that should give me the right to be abusive over PSN, Live or online on my PC.

Yes, Agoraphobia is no laughing matter but it isn't something that gives you the right to be rude or homophobic and esp not racist online. Maybe, if the guy had Tourette's, there would be some way out of the mess he's in but not with agoraphobia. I'm sure the sovialisation he gets on PSN could really hekp him out of himself but, if that's the case why abuse people and wreck your outlet? His condition doesn't prevent him from reading the T&C nor does it mean he can't control his mouth(IDK any form of the ailment that would either)so I don't see the point of him bringing it up except for some sympathy.

Most sufferes I've met and read about aren't likely to speak like he does anyway. They're usually timid talking one to one let alone with a bigger audience like this-and I really hope he isn't chepening other people's problems by saying he's got a problem when he hasn't. Certainly I'd never act in the way he does and even if I had some odd opinions on race, gende or sexuality I wouldn't be so secure as to air them over Licve or PSN and my agoraphobic symptoms aren't really severe either.

I honeslty have my doubt that this man has any Agoraphobic issues at all-the way he acts doesn't makr him as a particcularly shy or even worried kind of person. He just sounds like a homophobic asshole and deserves his ban, imo. He should learn to read as well. Sadly, he looks like just about the only gamer on PSN these days that I might be able to beat at something so, fopr me at least, banning hioimmay have taken most of my chances of glory away! Where do I sue! I have a condition where I need my self worth boosting and this Guy's actions have deprived me my chance of victory! I demand recompense from him AND Sony! They're making me feel worse about myself.

WHAT.A.TOOL.

Personally, I am a rather timid person and very reluctant to put myself into any social situations, a characteristic that has become greater considering my private, sedentary lifestyle, though I am not agoraphobic. A roommate of mine from college was agoraphobic and experienced social anxiety disorder on top of that, his social experiences mostly kept to MMOs and friends around the dorm. He was quite the congenial individual and not a douche like this Erik guy in the least.

It's obvious this guy is using an excuse, especialy his run-around responses he gave Fox40 as to his "condition." He wouldn't even be able to pass as a sufferer of Touretttes. Just a typical internet tough guy compensating for...well, heh, I'm sure there's a lot he's compensating for.

Bay area hardcore punk was really good back in the day, and even today there are still some good bands to be found amongst the scene. AFI, for example, was a band that was really good years ago, but has turned to the dark-side of radio-friendly rock. Most bands can only put out hardcore or punk for so long before they either a) break up, or b) change their sound completely.

Unlike Microsoft, Sony did the courtesy filter them out for us. Let this be a lesson to Microsoft.

1. Congrats for turning this into a console war when even the person you were trying to quote didn't even do that.
2. You talk as if idiots never get into where it is touted to not normally have them, and you think we're saying that PSN is immune to them. Not sure where you go THAT idea!

And what of PC gamers? Or people with all the consoles?

Are they three really mature babies in a trenchcoat riding a hippo? And that enjoys the occasional game of WoW on their PC?

I don't think it's as simple as you say;)

Yeah, I had a similar incident tonight while playing Uncharted 2. I made a comment about a couple people on my team killing me with grenades throughout the match and started to get trolled by them. Just shrugged it off. There are lots of culturally ignorant, homophobic tough guys on the internet I wouldn't mind giving a Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back style beatdown, like this team of gangsta wannabe wiggers (I apologise if anyone finds that description offensive) making fun of some Spanish-speaking teammates of mine. After we absolutely raped their asses 50-27, the Latin guys gave them a verbal beatdown to throw salt in the wound of their damaged egos.

The reason he lost his case is the same reason he will lose the appeal, and eventually lose the Supreme Court ruling if he takes it that far. The First Amendment protects citizens from the government. Sony is not the government.
