Stormin' made a really offensive video about Affleck's substance problems... and posted it all the fuck over this board and Brian's board... which are owned, operated and perused by a lot of people who know and care about Ben, not as a celebrity, but as a regular human being.
Brian told him that doing this video of questionable taste was bad enough... but putting it up all over sites of Ben's friends was just over the top wrong. And that he should stop doing it.
Stormin' got indignant and, instead, ramped UP his promotion of the vid.
As per some bastard things Stormin's done in the past, a lot of people myself included, took it upon ourselves to expound on Brian's point of how heartless and stupid the video was.
Concurrent to this, Andy made an Ice Cream Fantastic video... one of his best, I think... parodying Stormin's videos as the props, sound effects and pointless shock cavalcades "Gallagher Too meets The Man Show" clusterfucks that they often are.
And betwixt this and that, a momentum of opinion formed against the Affleck video where everyone either said "Hey, man, that's fucked up" or politely tried to walk the line with a "oh, everyone's right"... and basically no one came down on the side of Stormin'.
So Stormin' tried to spin this all into a personal attack on him, focusing on Andy's send-up of his movies, instead of the far more salient point that mocking Ben Affleck's real world difficulties with alcohol on SITES OWNED BY BEN'S FRIENDS AND COLLEGUES is just an asshole thing to do.
Feud suggests... there being valid point on both sides... or at least a valid self-defense on each side... and quite frankly, Stormin has neither a valid point nor a valid self-defense in this matter. He just fucked up and fucks up huger and huger every day he doesn't step down.
I'd say it's more a "childish hissyfit that keeps getting smacked down" than a feud.
