Holy, shit! I know he isn't the nicest guy, but he managed to really piss someone off.
Some poor soul has posted a petition to actually kick Jim out of Destructoid. He/She hasn't had any success, though, as nobody has signed his stupid petition.
This is what was posted on the petition:
"
Honestly, I am just sick of his sarcastic remarks all the time and biased reviews. Destructoid was way better when this moron wasn't ruining the fun for all of us. Just go to the website and see what an ass he is. He thinks he is very funny, but I know he is causing followers like me flee from Destructoid and go to Kotaku and Joystiq."
Also, the link for the petition cracked me up, just look at it:

So what do you guys think?
The 'faceless ones' strike again!!
;)
'For Realz', I'm extremely intrigued what community 'member' started this petition.
I guess............ nah, I won't cause unnecessary conflict in this here blog, thanks for bringing this to my attention!! :)
I didn't know you had a Free Rape for the willing petition.
R3y Is_ghey: I support this petition, and I like men.
Oh that british humor gets me every time :D
The fuckhead can't even use proper grammar.
But yeah, about that petition. When was the last time an internet petition worked anyway?
The people at Kotaku are pretty much already Nazis with the way they ban.
That said, I signed it.

even tho its not there anymore
Hilariously, ironic for this petition-man.
When I see his name by a post now I will skim through until I find something that irritates the shit out of me, usually takes about 5 seconds then I will just skip his post.
Its one thing to be cocky or confident when you have some serious accomplishments under your belt, its another to be such a critic when you have done NOTHING.
lighten up sterling. you cunt
Also, signed ;]
Whoever posted this petition must be delirious or hilarious. Petitions aren't magically going to grant you your wishes, ultimately it is dtoid who would consider the outcome. If anybody thinks that the staff would take a petition seriously, like ANY petition, then they are kidding themselves. This site lives and dies by it's editors and to 'fire' one of the unpaid would be to betray a friend. Not happening, and thats another reason that I love destructoid.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
That's a shame, D-toid should a be a non fat fuck free zone.
Seriously, the guy's like a c-blog troll except HE'S THE GODDAMN REVIEWS EDITOR.
On any site worth their salt he would have been fired for that rant about L4D.
I hate chan-babies sometimes.
