Did not laugh.
he's since deleted the comment.
Haga's account has apparently been privatized and hidden away as well. MY FB search turns up nothing
Nevermind. Found it. https://www.facebook.com/chris.haga.9

It's probably some kind of photoshop or impersonation.
Even though I am not fan of development paradigm in D3, but such comments look like just too much, it is really hard to believe that JW and others could go so low.
It says a lot about a person when they react to criticism. Jay Wilson never looked so unprofessional.
I want to believe it's photoshop, but I can also imagine the incredible stress they're under. Not only did they make the game, but they've got negative fan reaction to try and address to help sell future Diablo / Blizzard products.
If anything the anguish they are going through has only increased since release. It is somewhat believable to think they'd snap.
2 words to Jay's reposonse, pot and kettle.
Brevik also made hellgate:london so I don't think if Brevik was the one who made the decision for D3 it would be any better and could have been worse. "Fuck that loser" lol That's a bit too much.
I'm going to re-open this for now but please guys no flaming, no insulting, and please bear in mind that we do not have an official statement and it could be fake, thanks!

A link to the thread on FB. Please note that the abrasive post has since been deleted.
If anyone's wondering about legitimacy (the possibility of fake profiles and whatnot), it's worth checking out the profiles of other posters, checking out how they have a relation to D3 and deciding whether or not the profile appears legit. For example, Jill Harrington, one of the posters. Her profile has activity going back to 2007 (enough to say it isn't fake?) and she's a technical artist for Diablo 3. That's from Diablo 3's credits, not her profile. Unless this was plotted 5 years in advance, I'd wager that there's a high likelyhood that it's the real deal.
Also, the countless threads on the D3 forums filled with people that witnessed the original post (via link to Facebook) seem like proof enough that this isn't a fabrication.

"Jay Wilson's" post has been removed apparently. Wonder if it was real or not haha

Another screenshot I took myself when it was up.
The post was made by user facebook.com/Angerbot (as you can see in the bottom left of my firefox window). If that isn't Jay Wilson then I'll be damned - it's a pretty elaborate fake.
Incgamers has the interview. I also believe there is a thread on it in this forum. Incgamers is currently experiencing a high amount of traffic though cause this story is on the front page and the site is getting hammered.
edit- here is the link to the original David Brevik interview on this forum.
