Dave is a great mediator between parties and I'm glad he was the catalyst in remedying this 'misunderstanding'. All friends again :) @John, I did and I’m glad the matter has been cleared up.

It's a pointless argument, but no I didn't set out to slam chris for the sake of skewing my monthly stats! Anyway, I hope you also saw the follow up post after I'd spoken to Dave directly!

Panning people is such a cheap and easy way to drive traffic... I always find it sad when someone’s gargantuan ego gets in the way of writing an interesting post.

My only problem with it is that I wish people sent me free stuff to review ;) I hate it when online forums/blogs whatever just descend into petty insults! There's no point being mean in real life or on t'internets! Hi Jim,

Does he live in a cave or something? Does he not know life is full of this sort of thing... media get invited to gigs, first showings of movies, openings of restaurants, VIP suites at events all the time... what's so wrong with that? It is absolutely not spam... you know why, because people read it and people enjoy it... if people read it, hate it and think it is nonsense then they will leave and not come back... that is the definition of spam. Of course the blogger needs to have the integrity to say it is crap if it is crap, not just advertise for the sake of it, but those sort of events are always great fun, so everyone's a winner! Love your comment "Dude, girls rule.". You're so right... and I think if ever a guy in need of a woman's influence, it's young John O'Nolan :D Bloody hell, that guy needs to get… well… out more!

Sometimes bloggers could be accused of taking advantage of their online power but in this case, John has misjudged the situation and chosen a bad case study in which to make his point, leaving himself wide open to an offensive defensive onslaught from the blogosphere. “and the author of Eggrage has come out with egg on his face”, you couldn’t resist could you :)
