2/ Neo has had articles mentioning other conventions; The cosplay article most frequently, but on occasion other articles, talk about Ame, and Minami amongst others.

And some opinions:
I think everyone is best served if people avoid attacking these, amongst other companies. Most notably to Mike: Neo featured Pwanda, the flagship title from your partner and until recently from the alliance. The feedback to this was pretty illuminating, and you may want to be sucking up to them not attacking them if you want any favours or good relations in the future.

UKAG: I have not the words. You may have had some good points but everything came out so venom and bile filled that it’s difficult to take you seriously, and your anonymity takes even more weight from your words. I’d suggest you try and compose yourself in the future if you want to convince anyone of anything.

Jason: Try to be more professional, everything you post in this kind of a situation can and will be taken as a corporate line, pretty much. You should be careful with what you say and don’t be afraid to be the big man and step out of an argument. Also, this sounds bad, but please, spellcheck posts, I know you have dyslexia, but so do I, it makes it a lot easier for everyone to read and looks more professional.

You can still post, but comments are moderated. Your comment will appear if and only if you have new information to bring to this discussion, no vague accusations, no “this is what I heard” from anonymous posters, no more whining. Just stop.

PROOF, people. CITATION NEEDED. Pics, else it didn’t happen. Until then, ACCEPT the representative’s damn word. You all need to go back to your fucking schoolyard and punch each other or something, this is getting BORING. Get a hobby, go to the gym, GET OUT FROM THE NET.

For the record, internet is here and is usually the way cons are spoken about, via word of mouth and forwarded links or forum posts. It’s just so happened to be that way since forever, so don’t even think about using this as part of your arguments.

I never said you were part of manga alliance is was a blanket quote and one that also covered what mike towers was saying that basically the people who have denied exclusive contracts so far are either worng in what they are saying or down right liars.

It is quite something when more people are now being attacked

I agree with what you are saying, though I felt I had to say something in light of what Colin had posted.
Since I now it not to be true I felt the need to comment.

I can’t believe people are still on about this when there a far more interesting posts in this blog.

As with most of my post I’ve been balanced in my arguments but in this case I felt I had to put something forward. I honestly (I know that sound strange given the blog thus far) can say I’ve had dialog with Colin where by he stayed on more that one occassion he has an exclusivity contract with expo, preventing him from working with other PROFIT making events in the London area.

so yes am I

Way to go, just along the same lines as mike towers rubbishing the sweatdrop people and the ddr people and of course clearly the neo magazine.

Oh what a mess this has turned into for the ex or should i say current manga alliance commitee as it proves that you have not changed at all

I tried to help you in the past or in another way work with you but i got screwed, this is something that again has happened to a number of people in the scifi/movie world in many ways but not yet in the manga anime world as they do not know you or the way you play the game and they are more than willing as many were over the years to give you the benefit of the doubt before they were screwed also.

I am not saying a load of untruths just stating facts and as has been highlighted on here again by some of the people you and your friend mike towers troubled enough to post an answer.

So how does that make what i am saying fiction?

I dont need to prove things because other people have themselves

Not for one moment am i against anyone working together as i am aware that many of the anime conventions and the like do work together very happily so did people in the scifi world until you decided to twist many things, but it should be for the right reasons and you do not come into that category and niether does mike towers which again is everywhere over the internet not posted by me but many others.
