I'm very happy with Moze's RP response to the attack, however.

But no, I don't like reading certain criticism. Fair criticism that takes into account the full context of a given story, or admits to the context within the readers mind, is something I love. But when you consistently read criticisms about how what you're doing isn't what everyone else does, about how it doesn't make sense, about how daring to challenge certain paradigms just isn't done... it gets tiresome. I'm still a little sore for all the negative criticism leading up to the Buried Alive match a few months back. It was getting panned before the match even took place... we even had to work with a long hiatus, the cool down of memories on what events took place, and a whole shake up of the roster and we STILL pulled off a great match.

@Flouzemaker: I specifically used this timing to bring in Yllana because Craven did decide to threaten her and the boy again. Actually, for the first time ever, he actually blatantly threatened them at T6 in order to get Cole to agree to a rematch at Boiling Point. Up till that point, all of Cravens' actions were veiled threats and innuendo.

I don't read PVW. I have to ask this question, how long has it been since Ylana Cole has been used or seen? I remember her, considering the time frame being 10 plus years ago, being a very physical character and inserting herself into the Cole/Retro feud a lot.

I understand my familiarity with the character versus someone else just being introduced is a big gap. I'd suggest maybe an RP where this history is brought to light.

Ah! Yes, I remember that, now.
With Craven being beaten so decisively, it felt to me as if he no longer posed a direct threat. My bad. It still doesn't feel quite right to me yet, but we all know that's on me.
Morons like me would probably have needed for Chip to remind them of Craven's unambiguous threats.

People still shouldn't take my thoughts so seriously, anyways, especially since I flip-flop so darn often over the course of a cycle. For instance, I thought the initial Cole fears Craven idea couldn't possibly lead to anything worthwhile, and was proven wrong by End Game 2. That happens all the time.

EDIT: ...And let's not forget that I criticize stuff I like as much as stuff I don't like!

Picky dislikes the stuff I write, and Katie won't even stoop so low as to read it. No character is unanimously loved, and every one gets some flack at some point or another.

I like some of the stuff but cancer girl was overly sentimental tripe and I'm someone who's lost quite a few folks to cancer. In looking to Black in the future, he kind of has to go on a baby killing spree to top how poorly he's behaved. Neat idea but in the long view it kind of raises the bar on acting like an ass.

I make no secret of what I like (very little) nor do I make a secret at not giving one rip what anyone thinks about me or what I do. Never have, never will. Some folks dig what I do while others don't.

Yeah, but no one liked Josie.

Also...more people need to tell other people when they suck so everyone can learn and grow or something.

If Curtis had run with the British Yakuza thing he could have had a hit!
