As for the TGP head, I'm not fond of that guy either but i cannot comment much since i have not encountered him personally nor do i follow his writings, however from his day 1 in TGP I already saw some negative vibes in his writing style.
    RE: JD, same here, I used to buy both C! and TGP and during JD's time I found that I enjoyed reading C! more. But today there's no comparison. ************ is worth mentioning too. The reviews feel like they are from the point of view of a potential buyer. And Uly isn't squeamish when it comes to writing about the negatives.

    It's hard to change your spots I suppose. Still, I don't think TGP should suffer for what a single person did. I wonder if the issue will affect sales or advertising revenue.

    TGP still perpetuated the misinformation and due to exposure to its much wider audience probably did a lot more damage than the other sites. Not having a case against you prosper is one thing, but repairing the damage caused and being a responsible, decent person is another. Kudos to VBS for owning up to it, but a lot more should be done on his part. I realize the parties might be in the negotiation stage, but I am really curious at what steps VBS will do to make up for this.

    Ikaw na lang kasi ang mag EIC.

    Are you sure you would want Niky as EIC? Magiging car of the year forever ang Crosswind and Ford Lynx.

    I subscribe to your view about ************. I like this guy Ulyses Ang. I read his reviews. He is not the kind who sugarcoats nor minces words on the negatives.

    Yes, Niky, you're the man. I like your coiffure as much as your writing style.
