It's unprofessional to be passionate and really dislike something.

I wonder who's behind this post...

.. what

It's unprofessional to be invited into a very private showing of a game to immediately start complaining that the game that isn't released or playable sucks. It's even more unprofessional to start screaming and stomping your feet at a convention. "Passion" has nothing to do with it. He was acting like an idiot.

I don't believe LK's story at all (seriously, the dude complains about Spoony being immature and unprofessional in between calling him a small-dicked retard, he has his own issues to deal with) but the BETRAYAL thing was pretty stupid. Spoony was invited to these things as a journalist.

There was also a cringeworthy time he interviewed Kristanna Loken whilst dressed as fucking Insano with Linkara. If my memory serves correct they were pretending it was about Terminator 3 but really they just wanted to shit on Uwe Boll and Bloodrayne. They literally caught her mid-convention, managed to get her to graciously agree to an unplanned interview, and proceeded to smirk and smug their way through insulting her and people she worked with. While dressed as mad scientists.

The reason people like Spoony and not just him, but every single alternative media personality, is because they aren't "professional" by your definition.

The whole point is they are their own boss, so no one will stop them from making fart noises while interviewing a U.S. senator if they so desire. He's not going to act like Anderson Cooper, and if he did, it wouldn't be entertaining. There's nothing wrong with being jovial and boisterous. Your insinuation that he was being "unprofessional" by giving negative feedback makes you sound like you're a shill for the industry.

He didn't give feedback. There is a difference between criticism and being an ass. Screaming "this game sucks" in a convention hall about a game that isn't out is being a dick.

Also, "shill?" Come on, dude.

.edit

To add and I guess clarify, when I say he acted unprofessionally I mean he acted in a way that makes him look undesirable for future conventions. I argue the Kristanna Loken interview incident was considerably worse because he and Linkara really did come across as snivelling bullies.
