They told you something as an official source, it turned out to be false and inaccurate. At the end of the day they still lied, regardless of why they did (misinformation). Does not the change the fact that it was, it was corrected however, but regardless the act still stands in the history of CM's as a lie.
It's their job to get the shit straight, they failed to do it. Oh well? Throwing out a ban over an apple being called an apple is just idiotic. This is why I dont participate on blizz forums, it's full of trolls and bad blues. I get my info from this site and reddit It's near impossible to have a real discussion on blizz forums.
You're not missing out on anything from the blizzard forums, I promise you that.
lie
Noun: 1. afalsestatementmadewithdeliberateintenttodeceive; an intentionaluntruth; a falsehood.
trying to sound smart without knowing the definition of a word is the only idiotic thing i noticed.
Anyone with half a brain knows that a lie connotates some sort of malicious intent. I would not consider an inaccurate statement to automatically be a lie.
OP, get over it. It's not a big deal at all. They should ban more people from the forum. I can pretty much assume that you deserved the ban given the fact that you came to another forum to tell a bunch of people who don't give a shit about you that you were banned from Blizzard's forum.
Anyone with half a brain would ask if the evaluative meaning was intended, and at least try to give the Op the benefit of the doubt. It was poor word choice, but the definition of "lie" is debated to this day as it is. I don't think he was slandering CMs, and simply has a different idea of what a lie is. Maybe he thinks a lie is simply promulgating falsehood. That's one of the proponents of the argument over the meaning of the word lie. There's no need to ruthlessly attack someone on the basis of what could easily just be a misunderstanding.
Oh but there is...this here is the internets. If you don't think alike, then hell shall fall from the skys on you with pskfry at the front launching the attack.
Guys, I'll make this short, sweet, and to the point. We're mad that even before the game has been released we cannot get every single achievement in this game. You may say "This is a FoS, not an achievement." I'm aware of that, but if you look at my account with 100% achievements and 6 FoS and you look at someone else's with 100% achievements and 7 FoS, you know I'm not done.
DON'T even mention that I could have tried harder for Diablo beta. I could have, but that's a ridiculous thing to say.
Edit: I'd wager 90% of the people in this thread saying that this is good were in beta and got it.
Exactly. FoS has nothing to do with completion. Obtaining a FoS is often outside the control of the user. Saying "they're done" implies that they were working for completion, but they really can't always work for an unobtainable FoS.

90% of life is stupid bullshit. If you tolerate it, sometimes it tolerates you.
"The key to happiness is low expectations."
I also have to spend a lot of time telling myself I am the only sane person left on earth otherwise I will suffer a complete mental breakdown.
I don't really understand what the question is that you're asking, but I'll assume it's whether the phrase you quoted is accurate or not. Really, it's not so much having low expectations, it's being in control of your sense of entitlement. Being happy is only wrongfully inhibited by actually caring about stuff that you really have no control over.
If you have control over something bad in your life, you can work to change it and that at least brings you some peace of mind. Being happy is learning to not give a shit about all the things you can't control, and accepting your little lot in life.
You can have high expectations for that lot if you want, and it may not work out as well as having low expectations, but I'd say the real issue is people worrying too much about things they can't control.
EDIT: Oh, wow. That wasn't even the Op. My bad. What keeps me going is the ideal of cultivating my little lot in life into something that I can feel proud of. Being accomplished in my education, having people I trust and love, and having a decent quality of life in other areas like entertainment (DIABLO 3 :D)
I have Aspergers and OCD, and sometimes the challenges those present suck to have to deal with, but I can't control that. I can only really work to live with it, and I do feel accomplished if I can successfully deal with those things. What keeps me going if the prospect of being happy, and being a better person, really.

Been said. Also; how pedantic. Exercising the principle of charity, I'd say he wasn't condemning the CMs as liars, but rather just saying that their word has been unreliable in the past for one reason or another. People overreact and take everything literally : /
At first, I was miffed because I didn't get in the beta and it was more goodies that weren't coming my way. And then I realized that the actual goodies don't really mean anything, and I don't really care about a sigil or FoS that's a reward for getting lucky. Big deal, you can wear it with pride all you want, but I don't even really want it. It's just the overdeveloped sense of entitlement that pervades the masses these days that stops people from realizing it's just a friggin FoS and sigil that says "I got lucky," not "I'm better than you."
EDIT:
I do think Blizzard underestimated how petty people can be though, and I don't think this was a good move on their part. No one was cheated because they didn't get in a closed beta that was advertised as such, and no one should feel cheated because the people lucky enough to get a random invite also get a FoS and sigil that only shows that they were LUCKY.
