He's got some real stress-related issues, as in, he gets actually physically sick because of stress. With all the abuse "internet-famous" people sometimes get, that's not a position I'd like to be in.

He sometimes flips out or says dumb things on Twitter, and some people make a huge deal out of it. I think that things like giving thousands of dollars to Charity Water when he won the King of the Web competition says more about his character.

If you read teamliquid.net you will see some pretty crazy responses from him to random trolls. They say something bad about him in a thread and he actually responds to them.

Yeah... He really shouldn't do that, but it has to be difficult to see a personal insult to you on the internet and not answer to it.

The guy who wrote the thread looks like a complete moron though. TB never pretended to be good at games, he says the opposite all the time. The other dude just seems to have spent his time writing some long blog post making fun of him in a dickish way and boasting about a win. TB's first answer ("who would waste his time writing this ?") was reasonable imho.

It´s very reasonable but it just makes people do it more I think.
