I am apealing to all bother hobbyists and providers who have read my body of work. I am having a little trouble posting my lastest review. They say my general details , the story I usually write trying to be entertaing and humorous , does not apply to the review. Those of you who know my writing have often PM me saying how they enjoy the few minutes of humor I put into my reviews. Am I breaking the rules of reviewing? Am I offending anybody? Do you find it funny and want to continue to read on to see where I`m going with the review? What is the problem that I have to write this and edit and edit and edit to get a frigging review up. Please respond to this and let me and the staff know how you feel. If I am somehow wrong I will glad give you the bland, boring version of what happens when I try to get laid and have a little fun. I mean when we write a review , isn`t it supposed to be fun and tell it like it is, good or bad. We`re not curing fucking cancer here. Give me fucking break!!

interesting

I mean really.  If an original,  genuine NFK guy such as PW is having reviews rejected for being TOO INTERESTING FUNNY AND THOUGHT PROVOKING then let's just close Fight Club now. We can start a new board and call it something such as the Pussy-Whipped Inflated Review For Insensate Drones Club.  TER you've gotta step back and look  at why we're even here if a valuable voice such as PW's is going to be censored.

I've followed your reviews for 10 years. I always enjoy and look forward to them. I enjoy your comments regarding the angst of live worked into your reviews, keep it up.

He provides the best " content", a hot item in this era of big data. And, he does it for free. One of the reasons I have been a paid subscriber for 14 years  is to read his reviews.  
If his mood setting  background and stories are censored then,  the accepted reviews will look more similar and boring and less informative, consisting of  the basics ,i.e., I came, I saw ,I conquered.  ( Like my boring reviews).

Why should TER care how you want to write as long as you include the necessary details as well, which is something you always seem to do. So they have a problem with your creative writing while many reviews on this site read like the reviewers are guys that failed to finish high school?  Like anything else, if someone doesn't like how you write they can simply pass over the general details and skip to the Vips only section.  Or.....has the nanny state mentality now invaded even erotica

PW - your reviews are fantastic! Keep writing them!

that sucks!!! IMHO you PW set the bar for all TER reviews. One which none of us will ever attain. But hell its sure fun trying. I would much rather read your thorough reviews than many of the 2- 3 sentence reviews that I've read recently. How do those get approved and yours dont?? Thoroughly confused???

...that English is not their first language.  It's not my first language either but I learned it early enough that I'm more comfortable reading English than my native language.

However, the TER folks learned English later so they'll never be as comfortable as they are in their native tongue(s).

That's why they consider the non-sex related prose to be superfluous - it's work for them to read it.  The rest of us enjoy it.

It's like the missed field goal returned for a touchdown at the end of Alabama-Auburn.  I'd rather watch it and hear the description;  TER would prefer you just draw a diagram of the play with X's and O's.

Although I always wonder how much time you spend writing a review but still admirable.

your reviews are very fun to read, yet honest and precise, i dont understand why they make it difficult to post a damn review

This is supposed to be fun. As time consuming as it is, the editor in chief should be pleased that those of us that do post reviews try to make them entertaining. Keep it up loquacious one.

I've enjoyed your reviews over the years.  They have been one constant of being a VIP member.  Always thought of your style as a gonzo Mickey Spilane type.  Keep'm coming.

I believe in only a few precious things. Namely the power of the Universe, the laws of Quatum Physics, the constitution of the United States and the right to kick the shit out of Bigots, racists and especially bullies on any level. A long , long ,long time ago when I was a wet eared , stupid 22 year old jerk off kid with a jarhead mentality, it was Unit, Corps, God, Country. But look how I`ve grown.  
But anyway .... thanks to all of you who have responded and gave support, and I will continue if they let me. ( special shout to phunhog and texholdem and all the other old timer bros)  
Happy and safe holidays to all of you and to quote R Crumb " Keep on truckin"
Peace  out.
 PW

final result .... they said the review was "deferred". what does that mean.....

It might as well be entertaining fiction like yours Paulie Walnuts. Beats reading the 50th review of some guy who made a Kgirl orgasm seven times.  

Kind of sad where TER has gone. There is no questioning it's position in the hobby...but the soul has kind of been lost. The irony is that of all the bad things that were (rightfully) said about DE, few understood how important he and his mindset were to this place. In some respects, you remind me of the character Walter Gibbs/Dumont from "Tron"...albeit much quirkier.  

And of course you would be a Crumb devotee.

TER approves empty three line "reviews" but dares to reject the Walnutmeister's masterpieces?  I read 'em and love 'em. TER needs to lighten the fuck up!

TER has gone too far.  Never a dull moment when I'm reading a pauliewalnut review, I see no problem with throwing individual style and personality into one's prose.  Seems as though TER is trying to find every reason to reject reviews these days.

like Yelp does.  People can choose to label a review either useful, funny or cool.  Of course, Yelp does have some odd practices of labeling perfectly good reviews as being not helpful based on some algorithm, or so they say.

Absurd and clueless to censor PW

For a long time I thought you were the only one allowed literary license in the review "approval" process. It seems the cold bony fingers of corporate homogenization are now censoring even your entertaining prose into an unyielding, mechanical literary formula.

You should publish your writings... they are art in literature!!!!

I can only attribute you being jerked around possibly as a result of new TER employees who are following very narrow guidelines for reviews.

I wished I had your flare for writing. Keep writing the reviews your own way. We the customers enjoy reading the reviews you post

Let Paulie be Paulie.
Lighten up Francis.

Your reviews have always been at distinctive bar level above and also like a landmark of TER- LA history.

TER staff:  pls post PW's reviews as written.  He is a legend and one of the people that makes the site entertaining.

Paulie's reviews are not just hilarious, they are informative as well.  If they were devoid of useful information, I might understand (but still not agree with) TER's position.  However, that is not the case with Paulie's reviews.  In his reviews, I still get the information I need, plus the added bonus of some serious entertainment.  Further, having a feel for the personality of the reviewer is an additional piece of information that can help me get a clearer picture of the encounter.  If a funny guy says he had a great time, I'm more likely to believe him over some cold fish with a Joe Friday delivery.

It would be nice if a happy medium between profligate usurping and banal homogenization of the product could be found.
