Things are a bit dry right now, although that's usually a sign of a big flood of stuff hitting. But that means for tonight, I don't have a review of my own. But I did put together a new feature titled "Why Michael is Wrong". Actually, the title is a bit misleading, but you'll see what I mean. The link is down under the title "Latest Feature". I did put up a guest review of the Medicom Venom Punisher, from Devin Lewis. You can find all the links at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading, and have a terrific Easter Weekend!

Interesting definition of spam. Actually, readers here had requested in the past that I post links to my reviews on a regular basis, but if it's no longer wanted, I have no issue with dropping posting entirely.

its not spam, dont listen to that fool. the reviews are welcome and interesting. if another thread disappears off the page because of them, then it couldnt have been very important to begin with.

I like hearing what you've reviewed, Michael. Please keep posting.

agreed!
Not to mention Michael often brings us the first reviews of new Buffy merch (well, back when there was merch) AND since he always posts a photo of reviewed figures with other figures, I often use his reviews to check the scale for customs.
Don't stop! Hopefully someone will get off their ass soon and make new Buffy stuff for you to review.

When you have a forum as quiet as this one it's unfair to people who make threads that get bumped out by ALL of these which get no replys anyway. FM, bite me.

Sounds like Hurricane is outvoted.
However, on Sunday when I have my next review go live, I'll start a new thread called "MWC's Review - XXX" where the XXX is the title of whatever the review is that night. Then on Tuesday night, I'll add a new post to the thread with the new review, and edit the title to reflect the new review. That should make everyone happy.

Thats all I said last time, I don't see why everyone jumped on my dick. I like your reviews, but the way you do it completely fills the board with topics just makes the forum look sloppy. And i could give a damn what anyone says to that.

Thats all I said last time, I don't see why everyone jumped on my dick. Okay, just saying here, hurricane, but I found this kind of an offensive statement. You posted your opinion, we posted ours. 'Nuff said.

There is such a thing as tact. How we say things is as important as what we are saying.
I really enjoy your reviews and I usually read them even if I am not interested in the figures or the line. As much as I don't mind a new thread for each review I actually like the idea of putting all your reviews in one thread with the titled changed to reflect the newest review only because it would make it that much easier to go back and find old reviews as they would all be in one place.

What hurricane said originally wasn't really rude or out of line. Jump on someone for expressing their opinion, and of course they're going to jump back. (You can disagree with someone's opinion, and express your own, without name-calling someone for expressing theirs.) It goes both ways.

Can I just ask why people keep saying "don't stop your reviews!!11!!"? I never said he should stop them.

Can I just ask why people keep saying "don't stop your reviews!!11!!"? I never said he should stop them. His response: Interesting definition of spam. Actually, readers here had requested in the past that I post links to my reviews on a regular basis, but if it's no longer wanted, I have no issue with dropping posting entirely. Having an opinion and stating an opinion is fine, but have some tact when you do it. Obviously the way in which you stated your opinion regarding Michaels posting his reviews, caused him to feel his reviews are unwanted here - which is not the case at all. No one has ever had a problem with the way he posts about his reviews, and he has been doing so for a long time on here. As well, this section is for talking about other figures outside the Buffyverse. Each time he posts a review, it's for a different figure or line of figures (and in fact he normally reviews several at once, but keeps it to one post), so it only makes sense that each of those lines has it's own thread. It's no different then if myself or any other member here purchased a new figure, and start a thread/posted a review about it if it does not already have one. He just happens to have his own website and regularly does so. And as I said before, this has meant we have gotten a first hand look and review of many Buffy/Angel figures before they were out. I've seen this happen on a lot of threads in the last little bit, but I haven't bothered to say anything since I figured it was just growing pains and readjusting to the forum. But, you keep doing it and always come back with the same response. It's not about people not respecting you expressing your opinion. It's people taking offense to the brass nature in which you express them. Often your comments do not express an opinion about the topic, but rather end up attacking the poster - like saying Michael is basically spamming the board, rather then just suggesting the reviews be put in one thread. You can have an opinion on a topic and express it tactfully without it end up attacking the member posting. The rest of us do it all the time!
