Comments on: It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough… http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/ottertorials/2008/01/13/its-closer-to-the-truth-to-say-you-cant-get-enough/ Jason Geyer has been part of the online toy world for over 10 years, having founded some of the very first toy sites on the web including Raving Toy Maniac, ToyOtter, and now Action Figure Insider. He is also a former toy designer who is now a marketing genius. If he does say so himself. And he does.

I've honestly never gotten what the deal is with all these whiny fanboys. I mean, there's presenting your hopes, your fears and your opinions, and then there's the obsessive update tracking. Granted, I've got all the major toy news sites in my RSS feeds, but other than that, my info tracking is pretty passive. When news comes in, I read it. If it's something I'm interested in, it gets added to my wishlist, then I move on. When something merits a recording of thoughts, well, I have a blog for that. I'm as avid a fan as any, but jeez, there are other things that are more important! I loved this article, by the way, and you just made your way to my RSS feeds.

How dare you! Seriously though, excellent piece. A nice reminder for when fans (and I include myself) lose perspective. Now you’ve done it–you’ve spoken common sense, TO. How dare you!
