I have a friend (bert from another board) that has been regularly following After Elton since the biginning - even though it's been bad for her blood pressure.  They have NOT been supportive of AFL at all. When they do cover him, the pictures are the worst they can find and thier commentary and yes, many of the readers comments, are always snarky. I've discussed this with her for 2+ years. :-/ She's recently sent a letter to the editor complaining about the coverage and lack thereof. He replied all innocent, claiming that they are pro-Adam. She sent back specific details.....no response. They did recently cover something in a positive light and she was thrilled. But, it looks like they've gone back to their old ways. Given the disclaimer at the beginning of this review, I'd say she's not the only one that's complained. It's really very upsetting; but they will HAVE to join the bandwagon soon. Out came around. When the rest of world is singing his praises, they're going to look pretty petty if they keep it up. js. It's just a matter of time. IMHO. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!  ETA: I don't think we should give them hits to their site. If your friend is Psychy I don't think she is doing Adam any favors. AfterElton has been by far THE SECOND MOST SUPPORTIVE of ALL the gay media sites. Only Autostraddle beats them. They were VERY supportive during the whole Aaron Hicklin OUT mag thing taking Adam's side and calling out Hicklin for his bullshit. Towleroad, Queerty and Gawker are the one's she should be having a cow about. Have you personally read the site? I have been reading AfterElton daily since Adam hit the scene and they are far more respectful of him than most of the other sites. They just don't fanboy over him and that's perfectly fine. I have seen many comments from Adam fans unfortunately that take offense WAY too easily. A while back someone got pissy with them because they didn't immediately mention something that happened with Adam but if that person had been paying attention they would have been able to understand that just at that time they were EXTREMELY shorthanded and many things just got left by the way side for a few days because one person was trying to keep up with 3 peoples work load. That was about the time that someone started this running theme of blasting them for supposedly not supporting Adam. I really would hate to see one of the few sites that covers him decently turned against him by a few overzealous fans. They were also one of the few sites that regularly defended his right to wait until Idol was over to officially say "I'm Gay" even though they did wish he would. They understood and laughed at anyone's idea that Adam was in any sort of "closet". My friend is NOT Psychy. She hasn't been able to post comments so that's why she wrote the letter to the editor. LOL Maybe you guys missed my ETA - that I'm not recommending clicks to the site. I should have added that ( I agree) - us Bert's arguing with them is counter-productive. And no, I don't visit the site often. But I have to say I've seen some pretty snarky stuff and very bad pictures from them and not much good at all. And if you say there are a lot of people complaining in comments, at least some folks agree with my friend. HOWEVER, you seem very knowledgeable about the site and I know you're a big fan of BB, so I'll take your word for it that they are big supporters. Hope you're right.  Maybe my friend is just over-protective. Go figure.  PLEASE - don't anyone get me wrong. I don't want to launch an attack on After Elton. I just saw that review and thought, well, consider the source. |

I kind of hesitate to ask this, but it may be the only way to get an answer, "Does anyone know why Mika left?" All his posts say "guest" now, and he is not listed as a member.  I've just managed to finish reading yesterdays thread and I was wondering the same thing. Odd or what? Very odd... |

I honestly hope he is not coming to Finland. No foreigner should be allowed to visit Finland when the weather is like it is now. Most Finns should leave too. And seriously I don't think this fits in his scedule now, I am expecting him on March during the promo tour. |
