Kotaku - A Beatdown in Which No One Threw the First Punch.
That's his prerogative. Penny Arcade is not my business and I've never attended PAX. But the fact remains this incident never would have become the Internet scandal it is if Krahulik didn't decide it involved him and it involved Penny Arcade. There's a difference between saying, for example, "The Boston Red Sox endorse what I write," and "I'm going to a Red Sox game." Well, PAX is a Red Sox game in this case; all Christoforo said was he was going to it, which more than 100 exhibitors do in Boston.

I don't blame penny arcade. The PR rep was a douche and got super douchy when the customer tried to get info. Then he started spewing stuff out and mentioned PAX. Thats why penny-arcade got involved, the douche mentioned their name. Then he went on to insulting penny arcade and called it an amateur website. A PR guy (and customer reps in general), regardless of the provocation, should NEVER lose temper like that especially in email where it's recorded for all to see. And the provocation from the customer was very low in this case. And never insult websites, especially bigger ones. He didn't bother to do any research on who he was interacting with, he just threw stuff out there. And there's rumors he has 'roid rage (someone found his email used on an account in roid forums, posting about how he had done roids before). Anything that increases rage and temper is another bad thing for PR reps.
