A beware of the Cimmerian sign should suffice.

Beware of the midget Japanese detective!

Perhaps a fundamental difference of opinion on the role of PR is the root cause of our disagreement, then. "Relating with the public" is not done on a direct basis by almost any company out there, there are channels by which information is passed.


Not entirely true, with the spreading of social network influence, more and more companies are trying more direct levels of interaction. Maybe not on a 1to1 basis, no, but many are trying to get a more direct channel through to their customers. (been doing my dissertation on the internet as a marketing tool :P)

I completely disagree with your terminology then, and I think to use it in that way clouds the issue. Twitter/Facebook etc are deceptively old fashioned forms of mass-PR. It is not direct (where you go to the customer), it is the ultimate form of "put stuff out there > allow customer to come to you".

I would be interested to read more of your dissertation, though!

Also the level of "naivete" that you are showing by thinking that "being wrong" would shut anyone up on the internet... :p

Ha! Perhaps "shut up" was a poor choice of words; "make anything they say after that point an exercise in pissing into the wind" might have been better.

Well, hopefully, yes. :)

But if you lurk (or indeed post) on some gaming forums you do see some cases of members of development teams addressing and consulting with the fans. Sure, most of them are mostly there on a personal basis

This can not be dismissed with a blithe "sure", since this is my point entirely. They do not do it as part of their "job".

Either way, if they can handle it just fine I can't see why a dedicated spokespeople would struggle to keep a cool head on a forum. And if they can't, well then they should get a better spokesperson, surely? Obviously no one has to go on forums and directly address the passionate minority, but it's a sign that they really are passionate about what they do, and they would probably benefit from it as long as they could conduct themselves in an affable and professional manner (the opposite of manga's twitter).

Well, you could argue that it's just a sign that Jerome is too passionate about what he does, that he couldn't take reading the drivel that is posted in here and other forums at times. So it's at best a fine line, imo.

You never have given much indication that you enjoy a joke, Conan.

I dunno, I get a few yucks out of Manga's distribution efforts.

I have been meaning to ask Conan... why is your userpic so pixellated? It's been driving me mad for years :P

For real, It used to drive me mad as well. Now I've kinda accepted it and tend to imagine Conan with a pixellated face in real life...but maybe if we got him a smoother avatar he might mellow down too? It's having to look at that avatar every time he logs on that makes him so angry :P
