Sorry, I just couldn't resist the title. You guys can lock this thread whenever you want.

but, while I'm here....please don't gather from the other thread that the reviewers are closed minded. The problem was that the comments taken were more of an attack and there was little or no sign of appreciation. The reviewers here do it more as a service. The only payment we receive is some of the actual DVDs and the occasional compliment. Most of us would be willing to go into more detail for a specific DVD if requested. And we appreciate your input. The changes you may suggest will be considered and sometimes even implemented. Keep in mind however that we cannot please everyone and we consider it more of a friendly service.

To me, a outright attack on my reviewing for not be detailed enough by someone other than Steph or Drew is kinda like having someone come over to your house, ask for some food that you paid for then bitch because you didn't bother to buy potato chips to go along with it.

I feel it is fair to offer opinions of the reviews, since after all our reviews consist of us placing opinions on DVDs and sometimes quite nasty ones at that(not me of course). But, then again we ain't charging ya.

Since I got off track....Bottom line: Feel free to tell us what ya want.

I couldn't agree more E, you just said it so much better than I could. Frank just really seemed to be gunning for HD, and
I'm sure it had to be some kind of vendetta - maybe Frank is
really Ed Powers alter ego. Speaking of, where's your banana
this morning?

Endo, as always, your words of wisdom far exceed those of certain others here. ADT is probably the most fan friendly porn site and the noise to signal problem is far less significant than any other such forum I've run across. Most of that is because, as I have stated before, we are a group of friends that treat each other like family (most of the time). Anyone new to the internet will quickly find how unusual that is...

I liken the other thread as more of a knock on the door, request for free food, and then complaining that the truffles aren't just right or that the champagne is a few degree's above perfect.

Smartblonde, I'm sure you have guessed what I think about the "delurk to attack" methods used a few times in the recent past. I wonder where the last one went (nudge nudge, wink wink) and what their real agenda is/was...

Of all the people who review here, I am the one who wants input from people the most. I can easily spend an extra 20 minutes per review to blather on endlessly with a bunch of psuedo-intellectual BS but it makes no sense to do so. People that have read a number of reviews here understand this...

That said, wanna make a bet?
1:1 odds that it was some fan of a crappy movie, Deep Throat, who felt miffed that I didn't worship it deeply enough.
1:2 odds that it was someone who is still mad from a previous dressing down.
1:4 odds it's someone working for a production company that figures an indirect attack will cover them in an attempt to discredit me-a constant source of pain for some of them.
1:10 odds it's someone at a non-affiliated etailer who doesn't like my non shill reviews.
1:25 odds that it's another site's reviewer that felt upset when I disagreed with their analysis of a title.

Okay, time to give it a rest, folks... I don't think it's appropriate or necessary to "fight fire with fire" by dressing down the poster. Suffice to say that the point has been made, right?

Saki, agreed. I think you may have missed the intention of the post though. I just couldn't resist the title. It just sounded so fun.(a mischeivious intention) Second, I just wanted to let others know that they can feel comfortable offering critisms.(a good intention)
Blondie and HD haven't had the cooling off time I had. I think the alter ego is under wraps(I actually did keep him under control beleive it or not). As I said before, I take no offense if you lock the thread....I just had to create the title.

One final note...Blondie, definitely not Ed Powers. Believe me , if it were I would have taken the brunt of the critism.

Couldn't resist your title either. By the way everyone this is the first forum/chat site I have ever been on so I really don't have anything to compare it to but I have found all of you to be helpful and for the most part well informed (where one of you is a little behind the curve in an area another makes up for it). You can't please everyone but to date you have made a very good impression with me. Thank you.

No, lee. Thank you. As a reviewer it's a pretty thankless job. You rarely hear from people who enjoy the reviews (although it does happen and thank you to those of you out there who have) and you normally only hear the complainers, most of who never even offer a suggestion as to what they'd like to see improved or how they'd improve it. It's nice to know that you're enjoying your time here at Adult DVD Talk.

2dvd, I'm not sure I understand either one of your comments
here, or am I missing something?

Blondie,
That is a term like "can't we all get along"

I just notice all the critism going around and I figure i say that.
