H I appreciate your input , candor , and experience . However you are walking in in the middle - there is a group of people on here some old timers some hanger on’s, who criticize and jump on every review and the OP , not just me , others too - it’s the same 7-8 mongers every time - they chime in with criticism of the reviews picking at the authenticity- it doesn’t end with my reviews it’s every other post or thread - you had to shut one down of late - all the same guys carrying on
I’ll end this right now - I’m putting all these guys in the ignore list and.
you’re all right it’s Anna Tang - that concludes our business - if I write a review or a thread I will not be able to see what you write nor will I respond -
I think H I’ll take the high road - I’m certainly not looking to stir any pots .
thanks for weighing in
A few things...first of all, this isn't a review thread, and not even a thread you started...it's about G vs. C. vs A. You're the one who actually brought up AT in the first place, and at a considerable higher price point than all 3 aforementioned providers.
Second, the discussion about AT started off quite innocuously...one member thought he had seen a video, and provided a link. Your immediate reaction to it was denial...that it isn't her, and you were quite adamant about it. Clearly, you were wrong.
Did that mean one of the members can call you delusional? Perhaps not, and maybe he could have chosen a better word, but I don't feel that it was a personal attack. Maybe he wasn't being soft and cuddly, but your strong and immediate denial, along with some statements that you made ("she's never done a video" "the girl in the video is white and not Asian", as a member who saw her in person, kind of welcomed it. Then you retaliated by calling a member a loser.
One of the members replied to a comment about AT that you started, and you refused to accept it, and when presented with the video, it was clear to me that you either didn't watch it, or put on rose-tinted glasses and just outright rejected, in the face of overwhelmingly solid proof. So what kind of reaction were you expecting??
If I'm being 100% frank, as a hobbyist myself, you just lost some credibility in my eyes...and that will cause me (and I'm sure other members) to take your reviews with a grain of salt. Also as a hobbyist, the result is that you forced ME to come to the opinion that you were a)white knighting for AT, b)not very accurate in your portrayals, and c)clearly don't want, nor can handle the opinion of any member if they differ from YOURS.
Here's the thing...you say it's the same 7-8 members, but nearly every review or post that you make, you run into "problems" with other members. And it's not just the same 7-8 guys...it's with quite a few of them, and even with myself as a mod, in the past. So I don't believe it's a recurring problem with the same 7-8 guys...if I were you, I'd reflect on what the common denominator here is? I don't think it's intentional on your part, but you stir the pot with your posts, and maybe your style/language/misconstrued perception of comments.
This is a site for men...sometimes, conversations and discussions will get heated. If you can't handle a bit of heat, especially when you were clearly in the wrong, perhaps the site isn't for you...not every discussion will give everyone the warm and fuzzies. Also, you're a grown ass adult, and at least 45 years old at that (since you're prepping for a colonoscopy), and you were wrong here about AT...I think you need to apologize to the guys here (again, not speaking from my mod point of view), and eat some humble pie, instead of complaining that it's not your fault and blaming others. Take it like a man...you made a mistake, admit it, accept it, and apologize for it, and then move on...and certainly not whine that other kids are bullying you.
Maybe in the first place, when first presented with the video, this conversation would have take a MUCH different turn had you said something like "oh, I didn't know about it...let me take a look (and actually take a look)" or "I think we should take it down to protect her privacy" or something similar. Think about that.
