Random fact!  Mike Kalley has responded to only 10 threads on RRC in
the past year.  5 of which have been nothing but bashing Theme Park
Review and Robb Alvey.

I think I have contributed quite a bit more "on topic" content in the
last year than this.

But yet you continue to say how *I* spam and offer nothing to the
newsgroup?

Point taken. I don't have time to travel to parks now, and I don't
have anything new to say about coasters. Such is this point in my time
-- busy business and growing family. I'm glad you take the time to
video, capture, edit, and upload the content of your trips. I do enjoy
a bunch of it. Even more if you'd pack a freakin' tripod once in a
while. I acknowledge that I'm more of a consumer these days than a
provider or active participant on this forum.

What I don't enjoy is all of the negative goodwill you've accrued over
the years in this forum, your ignorance of that, and your blatant f
you to the throng of people you've pissed off in that time with your
spam posts, your drive-by contributions, and your arrogant/self-
righteous attitude when you get any feedback other than unadulterated
praise. If you want to do some analytics on your contributions to this
forum, I'm betting that it's about 25% link backs to your site, 25%
spam of for-profit items, and 50% defense of active issues surrounding
your treatment of this place, your site, things you've done, and
things you've said.

You don't really contribute directly to this group. You contribute to
your site, and you come here to link back to it. Even this video
wasn't contributed to this site. You put it on YouTube. I know you
can't contribute it here, technically. But the point remains that you
don't come here and post trip reports. You don't come here for active
discussion. You come here to *** URL's to your site and wait for the
praise, and when you don't get it, you hijack the thread to make it
all about you, and more curiously, comment on the amount of time being
spent on said threads in an effort to stoke your ego. Wasn't this your
opening thought in this thread? "Wow I haven't logged on here in days
and you guys are STILL discussing me?" And, weren't you on a fucking
trip to Asia when you logged on to comment on your appearance in this
thread? Why the *** would you care on any day of the week what is
being said on this forum, and especially when you are fucking vacation
with your friends & family across the world? I wouldn't even check e-
mail on vacation let alone monitor threads on a forum that I don't
give two shits about. You are certainly a different cat. Again,
mention *narcissism* to your therapist next time you visit.

If you really have a large contingent of RRCers actively on your site,
then why are you posting links here? They already know where to find
you. You come here to hawk tours and to hawk dvd's. This offends me
because I still don't believe you are a tax paying licensed business.
You've never linked to any evidence of it, even though it would be
public information if it existed. Why do I not believe that you're a
tax paying licensed business? Maybe because of all the years of
selling dvd's with unlicensed music (full disclosure, I have bought
some over the years, but I'm certainly not ok with it. Much like
buying anything from China -- you really don't have a choice in the
matter other than complete abstinence). That doesn't exactly paint an
exterior of trust. I am offended because as a retailer of wine/food/
beer in this state, I have to collect, account for, report, and
forward money for a *** ton of cash to the various authorities, and I
would be mad at any peer not doing the same. I play by the rules, and
if you don't, you suck. And, you've still never lifted a finger to
prove any of it. All I know is that all of the authorities to whom you
are to report have zero information on you, your wife, or your address
which tells me you have uncollected/remitted sales tax, unreported
income, etc. etc.

My interpretation on the matter is that everything you do is all about
ego. Anything you do or say here is steeped in ego. It's almost as if
you won't sleep until everybody from RRC moves from here to your site.
That's not going to happen. People have already outlined why they
prefer Usenet to moderated forums. Additionally, I wouldn't want to
participate on your site because it's full of a bunch of kids with
limited experience & a whole lot of groupthink -- there's good peeps
to be sure, but the noise far outweighs the good. The people with
opinions I want to spend my precious free time reading are all here. I
can learn more about European parks in one post from Sandborg than on
your entire site.

If you have all of the users at TPR that you boast to have (most
recently boasted about in this thread), then why are you posting
ANYTHING here? It's either because of insecurity or ego, or maybe
both. And, I'm telling you, it's as obvious as a virgin at the prom.
You've always sought the respect & adoration of this, the original
wild west coaster forum, and you were run out of town.

Finally, the truly sad thing is that some of the people doing your
bidding are some of the people that you have said some of the most
hurtful things about, and I hope they never hear it. Paging Mr.
'Burger & Mr. Mullet.
