Was this a big screw-up? It sure as hell was and as I said before, I will come back and give the full story when I know it. But believe me, I have never been more disappointed in our readers and fan base than I am today.
It seems like you’re more upset about the negative response you’ve gotten here, than you are in the reason for the response itself. That’s a shame.
I can only speak for myself, but if I’m coming off as “bitching, moaning, and complaining,” well, then so be it. I’m disappointed that this is the second time in three years that this has happened. I like this site, I like it a lot, and I think it’s pretty much the best SW-based forum out there. That’s why I think it absolutely sucks when other sites can get their coverage up, and JD can’t. I know that this site is better than that.
I don't want you here if you are going to have that kind of attitude. I will go so far as to say you are not welcome here if you can not accept the fact that Toy Fair coverage didn't go through.
I’m not leaving just because you can’t handle a little bit of criticism. If you want to ban me, because you don’t like what I’ve got to say--hey, it’s your site, go right on ahead. It still won’t change the fact that the site **** the bed on Toy Fair this year.
I really hope that this isn’t turning into a Rebelscum situation, where we’re free to say whatever we want around here, just as long as it isn’t anything remotely critical of the site itself. I’m not bitching just to hear myself bitch—I’m bitching because I’m genuinely disappointed in how things have turned out around here in the past few days.
