According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live… Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they’ve already made the deal on compensation.

          So do I, and I find it insulting. Have I ever replied to someone with an emotionally driven impulse making things worse for myself? Absolutely, but that’s something I did when I was 18 or 19.

          I’ve learned how not to be so reactive. If something really infuriates me, I give myself some time to connect my thoughts and reflect on the situation.

          I’m almost the same age as Linus Sebastian (about a year and a half difference). He should have learned how to conduct himself a long time ago. Especially if he knows he has ADHD.

          ADHD is not an excuse.

      I am so sick of people using disabilities to deflect responsibility for shitty behavior.

      So what if he has ADHD?

      If that truly is the cause, he knows his disability and has a responsibility to make an effort to not let the effects of it have a negative impact on others.

      An explanation is not an excuse.

      I have battled ADHD since second grade, been medicated and in therapy many times. I’m a successful chemical engineer now and I can promise you, that’s not an excuse for this behavior. I’m also by chance friends with multiple people with diagnosed ADHD, and not a single one of them acts this way when someone points out they are wrong.

      So I’m not really fine with ADHD being used to explain shitty behavior. It’s not an excuse, ever

      I have ADHD and my response would be to apologise so hard that there’s an indent in my head.

      How he responded to the situation was not ADHD.

      Get off the internet if you use ADHD/autism as an excuse to be an intentional asshole. I have met pricks like you. Pricks like you should be disallowed from getting an internet connection until rehabilitation improves that behaviour.
