How well have you "known" this guy? Because if it was just over the internet, you really can't say you know this guy, since obviously he isn't who he made himself out to be for so long.
The thing is though if you actually know and interact with the guy he will create a story or continue his role play regardless of whether the situation is necessary. His post could have been made to entertain and taking the totally wrong way. I'll have to see if I can catch him online right now and see what's up.
You do see the irony in trusting someone who says they shouldn't be trusted. Perhaps the wool is being pulled over your eyes. Just think about that.
Honestly I had no clue who this guy is, but reading his(or his wifes) quit post followed by reading his wowwiki page gives me some insight into who he is. An egomaniacal twit who enjoys rp and apparently the company(digital or otherwise) of several women other than his wife. The community deserves better MVP's than him and I hope his wife busted his ass and lots of pain and sorrow will be dealt upon the fools head.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"
No way in the nine layers of Hell is that Palehoof. Yes, he's a bit odd, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got hacked or, and I really hope not, his wife lost her top and posted it.
Even when it's not RP, Palehoof has a certain manner of speaking. That post is, in no way, constructed by him. I call shenanigans.
People stating to know Palehoof, when they clearly do not, is very dangerous territory to be in. It was posted from his account. Being an MVP and Blizzard lapdog, the likelihood of him having an authenticator is pretty high. I call not hacks.
I do see the irony. I can't trust the post, I can't trust you. The post is a bit oddly worded, but I'm not familiar enough with his known works to determine whether the style is truly his or if it was posted on his account by someone else. So here's my breakdown:
If it was his writing, and the account of infidelity is accurate, he's a creep.
If it was not his, and the account of infidelity is correct anyway, he's a creep.
If it was his writing, but the account of infidelity was wrong, I'm still a little bit creeped out by the post. Personal feeling there.
If it was not his writing, and the account of infidelity was wrong, then someone is clearly out to crap on his reputation.
This is another sign it's not him. He never referred to his wife as "Mrs Hoof". He always called her "Mrs Geargrinder". And his rooster was never "magical". And no, it wouldn't be the first time Pale's been hacked and as far as I know, he still doesn't have an authenticator.let Mrs Hoof
I don't know if he got hacked, the tone and manner used in the post is very much Palehoof-like tho. In any case, whether it's pathological lying or just begging for attention, or hell perhaps his wife/whatev posted instead, I call that going out with a bang.
So, who's the next MVP or blue to have a public breakdown?
So you don't trust anyone, but you're more than happy to start forming opinions about someone based on information you admit you don't trust. I'd hate for you to be on a jury.
Anyway, here is a thread that was just created on Palehoofs server forums where you'll probably find more people who have actually interracted with the guy.

What a sad petty bunch of posters in this thread.

i'm from EU too, but I never step in to EU forums either. Why bother, when MMO-champ has considerably lower levels of garbage and a moderation team which doesn't come over as a blindfolded SWAT squad?
back to the topic; A boring story of some nevaherdof. Moving rifght along.
