I wouldn't say it was as much of a call out as it was a reality check....
If you really feel so passionate about something, I think you should do something to change it. I never said that I didn't have similar feelings that you did about the show, but that I thought how you expressed them was really dumb.
I have no problem with you at all...I wish you hadn't taken it so personally and taken it as some crack against being an American, because it certainly was not that.
I think what got me upset more than anything is that you didn't do that just cause you thought it was funny, there was some obvious mean spirit behind it. I'm not tight with Rich or anything and I know the show needs some work, but I was giving you insight into the other side of stuff. People are watching it, and some people like it. I don't think anyone outside of SPEED knew how it would be promoted or how much they've been working on it.
If anyone has ever trolled the forums on speedtv, they'd know that there are people there with more time on their hands than us....to have like 20,000 posts just criticizing a network is way too much time on your hands.
It's very obvious that you don't know me or know what kind of person I am. I would never just go after someone's posts because I didn't like them or anything like that... and to be quite honest, I think all of us on the mod/admin staff have better things to do than carry a grudge and go after people to make them miserable. I'm a mod cause I like to help something I love, not because its some power trip or something. I'm passionate about my hobby. So sue me.
So why do I work for SPEED? Because I love cars, I love people, so why not combine the two..... It's also so that I can step up and make a better show than the ones I've criticized in the past...I guess that's the difference between us. Rather than wasting my time emailing someone and being a turd to them, I'm trying to make my ideas and dreams reality. But any way you look at it, I've got no problem with you, just how you choose to act.
I guess my motiviation to do something is the other great part about being an American, except that I'm not trying to leverage my citizenship in an arguement on the internet to seem tough.
