(For the record, I strongly disagree with the idea of a constant internet connection to play simply because of poor residental QOS that exists in the US -- but its not stopping me from buying it).

You can gets your facts right and look smart, or post factually incorrect shit and think you're clever by taking the piss, but then of course, you're really not.
There was some dude on here that had a personal boycott against it because the multiplayer restricted him to one area of the world, so he couldn't play with people in other regions
I never used the word at all, I complained about it, others bandied the word about, not me, I was however pissed of course - that was clear.
You as an American obviously don't understand what being stuck on a single shitty server in Australia - with 1/10'th the playerbase AND STILL BAD PINGS BECAUSE IT'S HOSTED IN ASIA is like - I still can't play with all my friends in the EU region, go and ask Moshman what he thinks about the region locking, he's a respected member of the shack - he'll likely tell you to get fucked as well.
Made a big fuss with many posts, and then turns out he was trying to cheat his way through single player by using a glitch in the guest pass system.
What does that have to do with region complaints in any way?
I wasn't trying to 'cheat' my way through, I found a loophole they left open.
I found that if you are given a guest key for the game and didn't quit it (iirc) you can keep playing. So I did. I got about half way through it I think and then had to re-boot.
Then people accused me of theft or some such bullshit, because I "stole" by not quitting the game or something ridiculous, more inane shackpiling ensued. How this diminishes my original complaint is beyond me. I think this is called a straw man argument but don't quote me, I don't bother with the semantics of a debate.
I think he then had someone buy it for him so he could play it and still stand by his boycott of not paying Blizz money for the game.
and here is where your derp goes to 11, you 'think' wrong
I'd completely forgotten about the game and hadn't even posted about it in a while, a friend who I loaned $10,000 got me a copy of the game because he knew I loved starcraft. I didn't 'ask him to buy me a copy' he got me a gift.
I made that quite clear in the fucking thread where I announced I now had the game.
