Wow.. chill out folks. I can’t believe you’re more upset with Mark’s comments than even Bazaar themselves!

Thanks for your comments Truth and I assure you my criticisms ARE my personal opinion and not facts. There is no hidden agenda and I dont have anything personal with the magazine. Everyone knows Bazaar is the best magazine in Kuwait but many people including me believe it could be much better.

Mark,

It wasn’t clear from your original post that Bazaar sought out your opinion in the first place.

In this instance, I was wrong to criticize you. However, judging, by the related entries at the top of the page, Bazaar must be a glutton for punishment.

I stand by my comments that your critcism is sometimes just personal opinion, not fact.

I never said anything was ‘personal” It’s just that your complaints and the manner in which they are written sometimes make one question what your real agenda is.

Please keep up the good work.. IMO you have the best blog in Q8.

Bazaar is still one of the best magazines in the Kuwait market.Its developing month by month. I think their website, with time, will be just as good.I do agree that the design of the website should be done by a more specialized company. and not a department in a compnay that is not up to date with modern web technology.

Mark’s right. If you can’t deal with criticism, you shouldn’t open yourself up for it in the first place (which includes having a web presence, let alone asking for opinions on it). Or alternatively, you can simply ignore it (which is what I do on my blog when someone rudely disagrees).

We read Mark’s blog because he says things are good when he thinks they’re good, and crap when he thinks they’re crap. If he only put in stuff he liked all the time it would be dull. Likewise, please credit all his readers (well, most) for having a brain… we don’t always agree when he criticises, likewise we don’t always agree when he sucks up to some brand he likes.

If you can’t stand the heat - get out of the kitchen. Don’t stand next to a boiling kettle moaning that it’s too hot for you.

Truth, how does saying a website has potential to be better or that a website is crap because of a certain thing make it personal?

Bazaar asked me for my opinion and I posted it. They want to hear feedback by readers on their site so they know what they can do to improve it.

:) Ha Ha. Your gonna get your ass kicked and stoons thrown at you!

Mark, your “criticism” is very transparent. The people who read your blog for its informative value in Q8, not the PC clique that always defend you, right or wrong, see right through your “criticism”. Your complaints about bad customer service are valued by all, but your complaints that are really just personal opinion about other designers smack of some sort of hidden agenda or jealousy.

To be frank, its all a bit childish and one day it is going to land you in hot water, be it legal or personal! Word are words, and some words once spoken, cannot be taken back and have consequence affixed to them once uttered.

Come on dude, if you don’t like the websites content, just don’t press enter on the keyboard. You’ve been blessed and have developed a strong reader base and are to be commended for that, but to use that base to slag off others is just tacky and speaks to a general lack of class on your part. I’d come to expect more out of you!

dfineline: hmmm… should i stop listening to music on my pc so i can turn the sound off to view your site? OH! here’s an idea - just don’t look at the site.

Flash ain’t the problem, it’s the flash designer who takes the blame. It’s the lightest way of animating stuff as far as bandwidth is concerned. You can have an entire Intro measuring up as much as a good jpeg image. I just had a look at bazaar site, all I can saw is give the job to someone who can do the job right or else, slick a Wordpress page.

Meaning they are either the same people or using the same connection at their office.
