    It’s your posts like this below.

    In fact, I thanked you for your views and told you it helped me do my job. Why the seemingly extreme reaction?
    You repeatedly shouting “…helped me do my job…” is fairly bullying in tone and placement in this thread. How exactly do a few people debating storm coverage on a toy collectors community help you do your job? You just keep on saying that over and over like some robotic response to a perceived threat made by anyone daring to simple think words such as “the media.”

    Which also makes me curious- if don't watch TV I'm not sure how you knew TV was over-hyping the storm. Or are you saying the sources you did use were the ones over-hyping the information. If so, I can't really comment on those sources.
    From the non-TV sources as well as brushes with TV sources I observed while going about my daily life including visiting neighbors and local bars and restaurants. And while the specifics of reports indicate that indeed the storm would be a tad weaker when hitting NYC the general tone of EVERY report from EVERYONE was panicky nonsense that made it seem as if the world was going to end.

    It doesn’t matter how much commercial time was sacrificed due to coverage. For events like this it all comes down to ratings and the big picture. And when the next ad ad buying season hits, the numbers generated for Irene will help defray any lost ad revenue from the coverage. You’re telling me the coverage of Irene won’t be included in some ad buying presentation that emphasizes how many viewers “trusted” your coverage above the competition?

    News nowadays is truly a business nowadays. Not a service.

    If you are wondering where else I got the idea you are "hellbent on smacking down anyone who dares say anything," it’s stuff like this saying you need to “vent a bit.” Nobody is attacking you personally and nobody criticized you directly or your work, but you come into a thread in a toy collector’s community and behave like this why exactly?

      I said this helped me do my job twice and did not remember "repeatedly shouting". This type of exaggerating in both fact and tone seems like an attack (and I say seems because it may be just how I receive it. I am not so arrogant to claim it is your intention).

      People here have actually suggested stories and coverage before that I have taken advantage of. Its good to hear from people outside the business and I appreciate the input.

      The fact that you find this "bullying" is just something I do not understand.

      I also don't understand how saying I need to vent equates to smacking anyone down. It was not my intent. I've been coming to this toy community for almost 10 years and most have been happy to listen to me vent, vent themselves and enjoy all kinds of conversation. I fear, however, no matter what I say you will take it as bullying.

          Will PM you to spare the rest a derailing/debating since this thread is clearly dead. But it is utterly baffling how you are pointing to that thread as an understanding of what? How I understand the origin and history of the Micronauts?
