I've noticed some harsh anti-VP posts in this neck of the woods, and I'm not personally a huge visitor to this board: I have to give a big "buck-up kiddo" to my personal fave ViewAskewer, Vincent.
One quick thought: recently some visitors to the website I run stole a portion of my update list and spammed all the members: I was outraged at the disrespect for all the shit I try to do (http://www.musicianassist.com, shameless plug, shameless plug)
But the I realized: nobody gives a fuck. Seriously. My dad used to always tell me about how you should always go in on your day off and pull people's asses out of the fire because they will remember you: that's a lie.
The only reason to do what you do is because you enjoy it. There are tons of us kids out here who actually care that you took the time to find out why the Chasing Amy Dvd was framed wrong (although I would guess 99% of the regualr posters would have never noticed nor cared), but as much as we appreciate it- you need to do what you're going to do to make YOU happy. And if you enjoy putting out great shit (mallrats DVD, Dogma DVD, Vugarathon, etc), then that should be its own biggest reward- and your personal satisfaction should allow the shit slinging of some kids slide right off your back...
There are folks out here (and of course, in the Askew offices too) who really appreciate all that you do: but even if there wasn't, I'd hope it would be something you'd fucking do anyway.
Hoping I cheered you up, maybe just a little: and fuck em if they can't take a joke- and break their window...
