can I change the type face?
guess not

You did it!  

Yes, bullied.  They are blatently trying to force fans to join the club simply to be able to buy the pre-Barnabas eps, that's a plain as the nose on one's face.  If they weren't doing this, they'd be available to EVERYONE right away and not a year after the so-called CLUB members can buy them.

I think you mean that buying the DVDs when they're released requires joining MPI's club, which IS a bona fide DVD club that, to me, seems less restrictive than most.  I don't think it's such a hot marketing decision, but bullying implies intimidation, and when I hear upfront that I can purchase directly from them when they're released or wait an unknown period of time (I don't think they've said it would be a year, have they?) to buy them from someone else, I don't see any blatant force, intimidation, bullying, or coercion in that, but that's me.

Dumpster diving is but part of being in an entourage.  ...  Though we never got that trip to the strip club. 

Sister Judith,

Posters who indulge in such activities will be subject to blocking from participation.

Your last post has been removed.  If you make any further attempt to troll these Forums, your posting privileges will be removed.  Thanks.

I don't believe this is accurate.

An addendum:

I can't find a single negative public comment made by the author before the Fest report was written.  Unless you find some evidence supporting your suspicion, please drop it.

I have a gut feeling that RJ's presentation wasn't mentioned because she dared to speak her mind RE:
Shadowgram's publisher.

Thank you for making it clear that you are speculating; however, I don't believe this is accurate.  And note that Big Finish was also not mentioned in the report.

It's your call, Midnite, but I respectfully suggest that Shadowgram emails not be posted at this board until it STOPS playing favorites & STOPS pretending that gays do not exist in fandom.

David, this topic is about RJ's presentation and book.

In other words, Shadosgram, like ANY information publication, should start telling the truth.

More or less the same report appears on the Festival website.

I sent my email to ShadowGram.

I know for a fact from Craig the source material for this quote was the NY Times article Janet references.

Thank you for clearing that up!

It was also quoted by Craig on his Dark Shadows Online website.  As we all know he was a thorough researcher and wouldn't have published anything with fact or documentation.

Maybe I'm misreading you, but I want to explain that I've visited Craig's site often and honestly have no doubts about the veracity of the information in it.  I cited his B&C book because as a rule, the board admins hold print sources above information on the internet; in many cases, information on the net is unreliable, and it can be altered suddenly or even disappear.  We have to take liability issues very seriously, and we've chosen to not designate that DSOnline or DS Journal (as examples of sites whose integrity is not in question) are legit sources yet such-and-such a site is not.


To clarify something I said earlier in this topic, while information in print is acceptable, what posters heard someone say to them or to somebody else is considered gossip.  I'm not saying they didn't hear it; I'm saying that it's hearsay.  Also, since the issue of using real names has come up-- if readers know whom you're speaking about, it doesn't matter if you avoid naming the person or perhaps identify them with just a username; if the identity of the person can be inferred, it's legally the same as providing a name, and the comments can still be libelous.

Anyway, thanks again, John.  Shutting up now.
