I respect K for what he's achieved in life. I also applaud him for having the courage and ability to create hundreds of hours of pinball content. He was entertaining and on-point with many valid opinions. I could relate on many levels because we are the same age, so we grew up on the same things. I also share some of his business / customer-first views.
HOWEVER...
1) He was kicked out of a pinball event. In my opinion, that's like getting hit by a parked car. This is the most laid back hobby with the coolest mofos. What does this tell you?
2) K reminds me of a certain U.S. President. He would whine about how unfair it was when he was "attacked" on Pinside ("attack" = someone expressing their opinion of him). He would tell these people to come on his show or to email/FB him to clear whatever air, yet he never practiced what he preached. He put several people in his scope (including myself) and fired away without engaging them first. He'd then stick his Pinside fanboys on them to defend him (for example, Rascal_H, who came at me out of nowhere via PM like Damien Thorn's Rottweiler in "The Omen").
Hypocritical much? He basically used his "forum" to go after people, but he didn't like when it was done back to him.
Let's be real. His podcast was often an outlet for childish tantrums, which was definitely his right. He shouldn't fault people for being defensive about his commentary.
3) Imagine having the President/CEO of your company listen to an audio clip of your work that begins with the Muppet Babies theme song.
Yikes!
I would bow my head in shame and immediately commit hara-kiri right on the spot.
