I find it amusing that she claims I have a "hardon" for ADT. If she said a "limp dick for ADT", I would have to concede the point though. I've been extremely generous in my remarks about them in recent years but apparently the thread, something I wrote, or the fact that Gene picked it up for his website as news struck a chord. If you get the chance, ask her how once upon a time the movies from Sin City started magically getting better ratings on technical values after they direct shipped titles to a particular reviewer, markedly different from what others saw.
Then ask why were reviews allowed to be altered over the politics behind a company owner not firing an editor and/or posting in their forum when he left in disgust over the perceived blackmail attempt.
Or perhaps how much praise was heaped on Extreme Associates titles by Tom Byron immediately after he joined the ADT forum; despite just about everyone up until that point offering evidence to the contrary. Want more???
As far as bumping up old threads, perhaps she should keep in mind that I just signed up on XPT and the questions posed in the original post are timeless. Consumers have a right to know if they are being hosed, especially if the reviews are the result of something other than the product like petty politics, if a friendship is involved between the reviewer and someone associated with the product, or if the reviewer is being compensated. I wasn't suggesting all of their reviewers were paid off or made shitty reviews (at least when I left, there were a number of entertaining reviews written there by writers that cared-even some that would occasionally cross the line were usually pretty good; but your mileage will vary as with all review websites).
I'm even enough of a sport to let her actionable comment slide since it was obviously made in haste by someone out of character (she always hated confrontation, letting hubbie do the dirty work for her).
