“Just general awesomeness, probably.” That phrase is like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just saying it makes you awesome!

Very interesting! I wondered why only sometimes you were a top critic……lol. I should have figured out that it was only on Film.com reviews.

Yeah. Plus, it’s not really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. The folks at Rotten Tomatoes are working on issues like genocidal violence in Darfur, mass starvation in Haiti and Somalia, and political instability in Afghanistan. Making sure that their Top Editor designation practices make sense in order to appease some spiteful idiot who sends angry letters to film critics is a low priority.

Working with bureaucracies sucks. Because most people are crazy everything’s so insulated from development that nothing ever gets fixed unless it’s an immediately evident problem. RT is already so slow and questionably-designed (50 pages for a “Top 50″ article? give me a break!) that I’m sure this isn’t even on their radar.
