Hey Jerk Magnet :-)

Here’s another jerk magnet to join you—that’s actually a nicer term you have. I’ve been called worse…only because I SPEAK UP and try to demand restitution/corrective measures. One of the things positive I learned from Americans: the squeaky wheel gets oiled. Filipinos, part of charm and graciousness is really passive: puwede na, mediocrity. I could go on some more but might stir more hornet’s nests…I suppose it’s just a dragon’s trait (it doesn’t hurt that he roars..)

Right, you can’t please everyone. Kudos to you and your advocacy. And my, for an avocation you sure devote quite a chunk of your time to it! I have just recently discovered your site and I say I like it very much. =)

Editors of Mabuhay Mag should apologise and pay for use of the pictures! PAL on the otherhand shouldnt be blamed since Eastgate is a supplier to them only.

Hi Marketman!

Let’s make a survey on how many jerks you have attracted so far, I’m sure talong-talo ako! hahahaha, must be the two typhoon’s “Fujiwara effect”.

Susme. Some people just don’t get it. Really. Please MM, don’t change anything. Just keep doing whatever you’ve been doing all along. Maraming-maraming saya na ang idinulot mo compared to the rants (and you’re fully entitled to those!)–these people don’t seem to get that you’re just human. We’re all just human, we have good days and bad, and like the good blogger that MM is, we get to share in those daily moods. Geez (certain) people, lighten up. Krismas na anyway. :)

ayy MM, i’ll let you rant and rave all you want…. after all i am a guest here in your blog. That i am allowed to visit and comment to my heart’s content is enough. you are, and always have been, a gracious host. you have given us a glimpse of a part of your life, and an opportunity to become part of that life (charity, eyeballs,..) THIS IS YOUR SPACE!!! some people just couldn’t get it. must be something in the head, hehehehe…..

by the way, contrary to what others have been saying, you’ve always tried to settle your rants outside this blog, professionaly dealing with those errants. it is when they fail to recognize, and fail to atone (hehehe, what a word!) for their misdeeds that you resort to making public their shortcomings. and i find that what you rant about always strike a nerve in me…. i say go for it!!!! you put the right words into the feelings for disservices that i cannot quite put down.

Haven’t commented in a while, but been following this blog as best as I could.
Like some commenters above, I too, get irritated when you go off and rant and sometimes, in my opinion go overboard. But unlike them, I just gloss over the stuff I find irritating and move on. Besides, I value the 80% of other useful stuff I read here.
I don’t agree with everything you say, MM, especially with specific tastes in food, but so what? This is your blog, and you are king. I’m too chicken to contradict you here, I’d probably get mobbed and if I wanted to, I’d probably do it in my own blog.
Regarding this “oversight” in the Mabuhay article, I’m with you here MM. Having published in the scientific world myself, I demand to be cited when people are obviously using my data. I have a lot of respect for IPR, and I totally understand where you’re coming from. Buying pirated stuff is so mainstream, I think it’s so easy for many of us to dismiss things like this with “What’s the big deal?”
Personally, I wouldn’t have the guts to go as far as you did. Maybe that’s what irritates some Pinoys because I think the average Pinoy consumer succumbs to the “puwede na” mentality hence “palipasin mo na”.
But I admire the way you staunchly stand by your principles. I don’t think many of us can boast of the same.
