I never clicked this thread until just now because the title didn't really interest me that much. I didn't even catch on (stupid me) that WOW was World of Warcraft. But I saw how much traffic this was getting, and I was bored, so I stepped in and read this and had a really great time doing so. Quite funny. Alriiight! *cracks knuckles* Time for me to butt in to this conflict and attempt to play mediator. Since this is the Internet, nobody can shut me up! ^_~

I really don't see why anybody's getting all worked up. Maybe insulting someone's hard work could be considered a low blow, but you have to expect that anytime you publicly expose a good or service available to the general public. Some people are going to like it, some people are going to hate it, some people are going to make fun of it. That's simply the way it goes, and you're going to have to learn to develop a thicker skin if you plan to stay in the radio business.

That said, I really don't think HotRod was really wailing on World of Warcraft to begin with. Face it. You guys are nerds. You're geeks. You're dorks. World of Warcraft is a nerdy, geeky, dorky hobby. People who post on Star Wars message boards are nerds. They are geeks. They are dorks. We are nerds, geeks, and dorks. While some might take offense to that, I find it a banner I am very proud to fly. Yet I am aware of how the mainstream might see me, and I'm all into that, too. I'm aware I'm a geek, and I can make fun of myself. I can make fun of Star Wars, Firefly, Star Trek, Zelda, and all the fandoms and fans associated with it. It's par for the course for others to make fun of such a hobby, but it takes a bigger person to laugh at himself. Hell, you should be relieved that it's other dorks, who can relate to you, who are taking pot shots at you, rather than the "mainstream world" who may or may not just be having some fun.

So please take my words to heart and learn to have more fun with yourselves. But if you're just continuing to post here and keep this thread going simply to generate more free advertisements for yourselves, then I would suggest you quit it.

EDIT: "You guys are like the bloody nerd gestapo of the internet. Poor HotRod has been charged with thought crime for speaking out against the Nerd Party." By the way, I laughed my ass off at this! Thanks, C3PX!
