That guy seems a lot more level-headed, and not nearly as miffed, as you are. I might add, also, that you brought the fight here. You should have taken his advice.
When someone slanders your work, it is the natural reaction to go and mount a defense. Since the original post was so mindnumbingly retarded, especially from a supposed father and I quote 'The saddest thing ever!'.
Yeah you see my staff are actually allowed to be open-minded and express their own opinions. They can disagree with my point of view all they like and react as they wish, either way they don't resort to slandering someone elses hard-work so it's all good in my book.
Then again, it's apparently your radio station, so a personal, emotional response is to be expected. I'm sure we can expect more in regards to this post as well, all hidden behind the "more attention for me and my website" charade. Here's a tip: get a puppy.
Irrelevant blitherings and nothing practical I see, unfortunate. Just points out the flaws in trying to justify flaming other people's work.
And "Little ones"? LOL. So much for dropping stereotypes. Too bad we can't live in a world where people can have a difference of opinion - oops, except for Cadwallion, that is. I hope he doesn't lose his posting privileges for that breach of solidarity.
Oh please. Don't try and pretend that you actually know how the structure of our organisation operates. No-one is forcing anyone on my staff to think in any particular way. Unsurprisingly, other staff members who also put a lot of effort into putting out free entertainment for people at the cost of their own time and money, were rather upset about the whole thing. They don't particularly like to see people slandering their good name, as would anyone IRL. How you can possibly justify that is beyond me. However they have chosen not to post and let me take all the flak as per usual. Which is fine by me, if I can protect my staff, and hold the moral highground in this purile example of hypocrisy from posters on your forum then I'm all for it.

Limited Edition Framed Film Cell from Star Wars: A New Hope
Manufacturer: Rye by Post
Release Date: 01 Apr 2005
MSRP: 69.99 USD
Country: United States
Description:
Capture a moment in cinematic history with a limited edition set of film cells from Star Wars: A New Hope. Each strip of 35mm film features four uncut frames from an anamorphic print of A New Hope , complete with sprocket holes and optical sound strip. Each film cell is unique--no two are exactly alike--and comes in a limited edition size of 1000.
Paired with the striking Star Wars Style "D" poster artwork, each film cell is mounted with a transparent back to allow for illumination from behind. Display in front of a window or simply hold it up to a light source to bring the film cell imagery to life. Both poster artwork and film cell are matted in an 8x10 inch frame, with title and edition number denoted on a metallic plaque. Comes with certificate of authenticity. Link
I'd hate to see someone going around making clear their ignorance of Star Wars and theatrical terms in general, and on your own boards, no less.

I'll point out his mistake. Though I do not see even him rubbishing your site as 'the saddest thing ever!', or various other childish remarks involving copious use of the word 'nerd'.
And to answer the point of how we even found you guys. This thread gave us a good number of referrals which our advertising tracker picked up on. All publicity is good publicity after all, despite how many insults are hurled in the process.
TB.
