Perfectly willing to accept I am being overly harsh. But I work in media and when someone feels the need to so explain how important and senior they are as opposed to actually actively engaging the communities' concerns I tend to be unimpressed.Archon said:*Pet peeve: Josh and I are not "new management". I wrote the Escapist's original business plan, raised the money to launch it, came up with name, and hired and managed all of its EICs. Josh, the new EIC, has worked for Themis-Alloy-Defy since 2004. So, yeah.
You will notice he never even mentioned Bob's name or wish him luck even though this thread is about Bob. He really came in to settle down everyone who is talking about leaving or cancelling pub club accounts by talking about new pitches, new content, mobile sites and other things that are irrelevant to the the concerns raised in this thread. Putting a lid on it is all that post felt like to me.
The "So, yeah" came across combative because it assumes I should be impressed or automatically give him the same credit I would give to Susan, Russ or Greg. I am not impressed by titles or corporate speak.
Not meaning any personal offence.
