By now you may have figured out that I'm not the most popular guy with some posters on the GSN board. My loudest detractor sums up the case against me, but also takes a swipe at somebody else...
Other poster: You know you're wrong, so you have to run to your little blog and take cover. If it wasn't for the fact that you post the PDF's before Alex does, I don't think many would visit that blog of yours. All it is is you taking potshots at us, The Game Show Forum, and Buzzerblog. Seriously don't know why Carrie over at Ask.com likes your blog.
Just to pick up on this item, because I want to defend Carrie Grosvenor (not that she needs defending).
First, it's About.com, not Ask.com. Carrie runs a very good game show blog at the site. She also runs "Reader's Choice" awards for game shows. Both years that she's run the competition, my blog has been nominated as one of the five finalists in the best game show fansite category. The excellent Game Show Newsnet won the category both years, by the way, as the site notes with understandable pride at the top of their web page. My site lost badly both years, which will make some folks happy (wink).
But Carrie is not showing any unfair favoritism to my site with those nominations as a finalist. The nominations are decided by the votes of her readers. My site just happened to land in the top five each year. Carrie has told me that some people in the game show business seem to like my site. Some e-mails I've gotten support that idea. But Carrie doesn't pick the nominees. Her readers do. I'm very grateful that they've made my site a finalist both years.
Anyway, now you know the rest of that story.
