The Jabby Jabby of all Jabbies!

Image
Just to be clear on Pete Sinclair's stance on VACCINATION, out of his mouth specifically. He is 100% for  everyone getting the jab EXCEPT children. Even after having a very lengthy conversation on twitter with a pediatrician (you can see how that conversation went by clicking here ) which did not end with him defending his point of view well. Without having a medical background himself, or any credentials that tie him to the NIH, the CDC, or the FDA, he believes children shouldn't be vaccinated. And is completely FINE going after random grandmothers on twitter to SHAME them for such abuses to children! So does that make him half anti-vax or just anti-child-vax? Anti-child-covid-vax?? And he insists that the pandemic is now endemic, when the CDC and NIH have neither announced this nor  declared the United States free of Covid-19 hospitalizations. It's a really specific word, he's thrown it around a few times since November. "We are ENDEMIC" according to Pete. A...

Random Posts in Random Places

The number one problem about BotCon's handling of the social media questions on WHO is in charge brings up a greater problem that is surfacing after a year of no information. There actually WAS some information just not pushed out on their social media accounts. Or if it was on the website it was deleted for newer updates. (One report details something mailed to them.) But these reports are buried in forum posts spread on several different forums in the transformer online communities. And if you are a fan who isn't on the forums or does not have the time to frequent them often, you are missing all the important announcements. TFW2005 AllSpark Tformers If you aren't on each of these transformer news websites OR on the AllSpark News Discord server, then you are missing things that could have been reported but are most definitely NOT where their main social media accounts could easily advertise. Or their website. Our plea is to the fans then, please help us find posts where Bo...

Official BotCon Announcement - May 2021

On May 10th 2021- BotCon FINALLY posted to its Facebook page a statement giving detail to who is apart of "BC Productions" that owns the name "BotCon" and outlined who is who on board of trustees. One of whom is Pete Sinclair, confirming what fans had been stewing over for a year. Facebook post It was also then pushed out to their other media account on Twitter,  click here . BUT did BotCon ever NOT say Pete was involved? Did they lie? BotCon never said anything officially for or against it. Fans were actively talking online in public spaces and forums about it, and messaging on BotCon social media to "address" if Pete was working for the convention or not. BotCon simply said nothing. Silence. For over a year. Not confirming or denying. Plausible deniability could be the reason for saying nothing. Or it could have been a detail lost to them since a month after the February 2020 announcement the whole world went into lockdown because of the Covid-19 Corona ...

How it Started - Feb 2020

In February 2020 , on the allspark.com transformers news site, it was reported that Karl Hartman announced via Facebook the widely known transformer convention BotCon (once ran and owned by FunPub) would be making it's return and relaunch back into the world.  ( click to view announcement ) The forum went on to chatter and converse about the joy and trepidation of the returning Botcon. You can read about it HERE . The allspark.com website went on to announce that they would be hosting Botcon chatter on their forum, and in the frustration between fans on the forum on the announcement and between the ranks of the moderating staff... where they disagreed, several threads were locked and unlocked. And in the end, the upset between the staff itself, several members of the staff resigned. They published a very public letter. ( which you can read or download here ) Pete Sinclair, former employee (head of PR) of FunPub, who aided in running the previous era of BotCon, went on the forum ...
