Well something tells me that this is a big no-no for a big time Microsoft executive to do. It's understandable, cause I'd want to rip the head off of someone who badmouthed me like this, but when you have a position that high, you just suck it up and punch a wall or something. You certainly aren't making friends this way.
This is a new one. Earlier today, NeoGAF message board poster "a Master Ninja" wondered aloud if a private message from user "bell801" could actually be from Jeff Bell, Microsoft's Corporate VP of Global Marketing for their interactive entertainment division, who endured Internet mockery for his wooden performance on-stage at the Microsoft press conference at E3 last week. The poster was especially critical of Bell during the press conference, which Bell didn't take kindly to, as his private message read:
"And your contribution to society is...what?"
Wait, wait, wait. It's one thing to insinuate a high-ranking Microsoft executive has effectively called you out, but the connections grew as more people started watching the train wreck. Another user discovered Bell mentioned his GamerTag is "BigDaddy801" in a YouTube video, establishing the 801 connection between the two 'net names.
