I have been know to boycott manufactures who don't produce what I want.

I have also purchased my toys from people who I don't agree with, but, they produce something I want.

Guess I'm just ethically challenged.

Badgamer, you would be wrong with your guess. The guys at Frothers can tell you about it, if you really want to know.

Ah. I've not been over there yet…can't deal with even more wargaming drama!

The denizens of that site dislikes Bill[and I ?!?!]. So anything you take from those types … is biased to say the least. But many here already know that … maybe too well. Too much drama, for sites about supposed adults(?) playing with toys, IMO …

Bill changed his mind anyway, after The Miniatures Page became the 4th highest rated page on Google – and not for good reasons.

I highly doubt that TMP ever became the 4th highest rated page on Google!

I'd hazard a guess it's to do with the fuss regarding the gender of the editor's that the chief editor hired. Some people get funny about such things…

Badgamer, you would be wrong with your guess.

Well, let's remember that the infamous topic at Frothers was begun by da Bish cyberstalking Editor Julia (and da Bish was later revealed to be another Khurasan sock puppet).

It was, for the right search term.
Of course Bill knows the story, so if he wished he could simply tell us.
"So anything you take from those types … is biased to say the least."
Well I was also there, so I know there was no bias. Just pointing to a source of information.

That's the place that thinks the TMP server is in my basement. evil grin

I am pretty sure the basement reference would have been a joke along the lines of the typical "gamers and geeks live in their mum's basement" trope

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian31 May 2017 5:31 a.m. PST

I wouldn't bet on it.

That is very disturbing, IMO. Creepy even for F … well maybe not … It seems many denizens there hit a new high in lows for adult behavior on the net, and probably elsewhere, etc., also …

What Frothers issues? Like their anti-LGBTQ campaign and blatant homophobia?

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP01 Jun 2017 4:30 p.m. PST

Deuce … here is what I know. I am frequently attacked on that site. So all I know is they are not my favorite "people". As for the rest of your posts to me … It has nothing to do with me as far as I can see. Anyone that defends those on that site holds no veracity with me, or Bill I'd imagine and some others here.

I only don't really like being a target. And IMO that has been discussed enough. And double standard ? Not in from my POV.

It seemed to me Deuce03 was a troll. Based on his comments, etc., … Bye, Bye … Don't let the door hit you in the Bleeped text

Khusrau02 Jun 2017 8:26 a.m. PST

Isn't calling someone a troll a DH offence? Or have I got that wrong?

"But don't assume that everyone who will boycott you (or even most of them) is going to tell you about it."

You should know VVV.
