Crate-O-Porn

Scand: bsu legato: No, but you did. one klump: He says that about anyone who can't weave a proper basket.

When have I flamed anyone except in retaliation? (by the way, did someone just call me a Nutsqueeze?) This thread was started to flame BoK in absentia. The thread title here is "The Fans Wanted It." And guess what? BoK was and is instrumental in making it happen.

How would I know? The basket weaving community is TIGHT. You Yamato toy loving freaks wouldn't understand. (actuallly, I'm just hoping that one of these days BoK will quote me from this board, just like everyone else on this thread.)

Jem, I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but you are a complete and total tool. Even I can figure that out, and I've never met you before online or offline. When did I ever say that? In addition to your detective skills sucking, your reading skills need some help too.

Who's 40+? And Jem, at what age do you consider someone to be a "sad old man"? I think you know very little about who you're ranting about so loudly. I'd blame that on youthful ignorance, but then I'd be a hypocrite. To be honest, I know very little about the ops of Harmony Gold, and pricing. I do know a little about entertainment industry business practices, though, and short of contracting with a MAJOR distributor, the cost of Robotech products will always be a little high. That is, until the demand enters the mainstream, and the bulk production and shipping costs can reasonably be lowered. OR quality of the product is dropped. As a fan, it is indeed your right and duty to complain about this, and you probably know much more about their history than I could ever fathom, but compared to every other production, development, and distribution company in Hollywood, HG is far from the evil enterprise you make them out to be. I commend them for taking a great stride and bringing a diehard fan onto their staff, especially to help assemble a fan outreach effort like Robocon 20. Not only does BoK have a passion for this sort of thing, you should also know that he put together the most financially successful fund raiser in his high school's history... a sci-fi convention, and he was only a junior. Besides that, he was already a bad ass basket weaver.

For the record, this is not Bank of Kev, although I do personally know him. Please notice the lack of typos, if you need evidence that I'm just a crate-o-porn, and not an entire bank. Anyway... I find this really ironic coming from a group of people who spend their time watching cartoons and put effort into discussion boards about them. I'm not knocking watching cartoons or discussion boards, but people in glass houses.... There are a few people above who got it right by acknowledging how lame it is to knock a guy who got a job somewhere he loves. His gloating is fair game, for sure. But I think any fan would agree that the best people to work at any company, at any level, should be fans of the company and its product. And BoK has been a diehard fan of Robotech much longer than he even got his degree in lighting design with a minor in basket weaving.

You know what's EVEN more ironic: You guys will go and check out his blog just to see what BoK has reposted, and report back here. BoK is only one man. And yet... he ruffles your feathers so. Evidently his opinion is enough to fuel an entire thread. At least he'll fess up to his megalomania.
