Thought I would chime in myself!<br /><br />When it regards to the subject of MEMO1DOMINION, what I take issue with is his trying to distort what i am doing with The Protoculture Times. His apparent sense of entitlement within the Robotech community gives him some sort of licensing to twist here and omit there on the &quot;miscreants&quot; that don&#39;t follow his way. To me I feel he creates this little world thinking it wins him favor with H.G. To their credit, i honestly don&#39;t belive H.G. that delusional in their thinking. <br /><br />And honestly I truly believe Memo feels that the Robotech fandom OWES him for &quot;all the stuff&quot; he does. To those who do not wish to pay tribute to him, he dances around them condescendingly in the hopes to bait them by having them go off on him and then he lifts the victim flag crying; &quot;See they&#39;re the bad people!&quot;<br /><br />The old BTD game...Bait, Then Discredit...<br /><br />And even more recently, Memo claims that I asked his consultation of what to put or not put on my show. Distortion is not enough, he now needs to INVENT things....it&#39;s something that does bother me immensely and eventually I will address it...<br /><br />MEMO&#39;s view of the Robotech fandom is that they are sheep needing to be guided by the shepherd...him.<br /><br />I see them as fellow Robotech fan&#39;s who can think for themselves and can form their own conclusions...because it IS about the diversity of opinion.<br /><br />Anonymous...thank you for chiming in and i&#39;m glad you enjoy the show...just a Robotech fan here doing his thing!<br /><br />REVIVE FOR 25!<br /><br />-JTJThttp://www.protoculturetimes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-86852694013965627812009-10-08T10:50:19.414-05:002009-10-08T10:50:19.414-05:00HMMM. Yes, I picked up a copy of the Shadow Chronicles. I made a review on Amazon. Not a very good review. I feel a little cheated. They didn&#39;t even have the courtesy to kill off the old characters so fans like me can move on. Don&#39;t get me wrong if a new story line comes out and I like it, I&#39;ll watch it. But I see no evidence of this.<br /><br />They left the ending to Shadow Chronicles on a cliff hanger and teased us with the possibility of our old characters. I don&#39;t think I&#39;m falling for it next time. I won&#39;t be buying the next release. It just feels like a cheap marketing ploy. <br /><br />And SERIOUSLY, why should fans like me care about what a couple of forum moderators and staff at HG say. I think somebody thinks a bit highly of themselves. I&#39;m referring to them and not you. <br /><br />I&#39;m laughing as I type this. I doubt the higher level execs would really appreciate the name of their company being dragged through the mud. It just sounds like overzealous low level staffers and a couple of fans taking it upon themselves to represent the company without their knowledge. I work in the business world. Appearance is everything. It&#39;s best to appear above the fray. Unless a product stinks that bad and you need to do damage control. Which one is it?<br /><br />Oh by the way, what is your site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-66197961620781274942009-10-07T20:24:42.893-05:002009-10-07T20:24:42.893-05:00Yeah the conflict in the fandom is the main problem, and reason why fans are divided. People like MEMO and Mav believe that anyone who doesn&#39;t like the direction HG is going with robotech, aren&#39;t real fans. They believe that if you&#39;re a robotech fan, YOU have to be a fan of the shadow chronicles too. And if you&#39;re not, you&#39;re a hater, or a macross purist.<br /><br />The whole thing is just pathetic, especially when such people try to enforce censorship. You can&#39;t say anything negative about HG and TSC or else, you&#39;re a nazi and MEMO will tell you so. Also it doesn&#39;t matter if its something said on another site, he will still notify the staff and tell them what you&#39;ve been saying.<br /><br />After all that&#39;s happened, like you I really don&#39;t want any part of the fandom, but I realized that it would be better to stand up to these people and support others who hate the censorship too. Which is why I run my own personal robotech community site, which caters to fanworks and discussion regarding the robotech universe without censorship. There&#39;s even a section for criticizing HG, and that section alone has earned my community the bastard of the year award.Lynn J Williamshttp://atlantispalooza.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-58216260890093564212009-10-07T18:28:03.854-05:002009-10-07T18:28:03.854-05:00Thanks Lynn. I don&#39;t follow the Robtech world that closely. Just a passive fan from the 80&#39;s. I saw a youtube AMV and felt a little nostalgic. It sounds like there is a lot of conflict within the Robotech world. I love Robotech also. But in the end it is a scifi anime. Meant to entertain. But I guess that&#39;s just me. If the two mentioned above represent robotech.com, then I&#39;m not so certain I want to be associated with that part of Robotech.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-70100460410920561532009-10-06T21:34:44.161-05:002009-10-06T21:34:44.161-05:00MEMO is a moderator on robotech.com and the owner/admin of robotech XLynn J Williamshttp://atlantispalooza.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-70647967503906720252009-10-06T16:41:10.528-05:002009-10-06T16:41:10.528-05:00Who&#39;s MEMO??

Nicely done!<br /><br />As far as the MEMO issue is concerned, I was appalled that the entire idea of the show WASN&#39;T to pander to MEMO&#39;s needs, wishes, desires, and whatnot... You mean this podcast ISN&#39;T all about MEMO!?!?<br /><br />Gosh...<br /><br />(Just kidding, folks!)<br /><br />In all seriousness, an excellent job, man.<br /><br />The &#39;Word of the Show&#39; segment was GREAT!!! Nice use of sound-effect editing there, man.<br /><br />Also, Atlantech has exposure, now!!

I feel that he wasn&#39;t even giving you a chance, and instead just being an ass about it. *sigh*<br />but like I said, its good you arent going to let their remarks ruin your fun, so just keep up the good work and do it for the fun of it.<br /><br />-Lynn-Lynn J Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
