Glad to read a negative DeeJ review (Destiny)

DeeJ is a cool guy. I think he does the best he can with what he has to work with, which sometimes isn't much.

He gets a hard time online and doesn't deserve most of it, but cmon... "cool"???

I have disliked the tone of his writing for some time. I'm not sure when my feelings changed, but now everything he writes sounds condescending to me. This quote from the article sums up my feelings pretty well:
"Personally, I’m bugged more by DeeJ’s subsequent responses than I was by Smith’s initial comments. DeeJ is probably a perfectly charming man in real life, but he has always come off as a smarmy presence on Destiny’s various message boards, often responding to widespread player concerns with a jokey, condescending tone that feels out of touch with the community. His second response in particular stands out to me—how he’s sure to start by telling the person to whom he’s responding that the collector’s edition has sold out, before noting “but that’s not the point. Right?” The way he begins his promise of better rewards by telling us what “the real conversation here is,” as if the players who started this conversation need to be reminded what it is."
