Wow a sample size of 26 without duplicates removed. Here’s my survey I just took 26 times in a row: I’ve never heard of probrewer.com. 100% of those surveyed agree.

Haven’t we been on their radar before, a few years back?
Yeah...Jamie Fulton from The Covey...the original whiny bitch.
http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/2929562 I only read through about 2 replies over there and it is still pretty civil...so Frank, I give it 3 hours before a bunch of pissants get angry over here and it gets up to page 5.

Yes, I love the complaints of the sites being condescending and self-righteous being immediately followed by:
I would like to see a site where only certified beer judges can rate beers. Still would be crappy but at least it would weed out most of those who have no business writing about beer.
I do get the first guy’s frustration with some of the over-the-top criticisms that inevitably arise, particularly when you know/admire the very brewer that’s being blasted because his third batch of a beer we loved was too dry and higher in price than we’d like.
"This thread has more to do with the reaction from BA and RB. It seems that over the years contributors to both websites are increasingly negative and self-righteous."
Says the guy starting a negative and self-righteous thread.
I also enjoyed the dig at how we are all still living in our mom’s basement and have never dated. You would think with the large number of successful professionals here (PhDs, lawyers, engineers, world travelers) that one of us would have moved out by now!
Any time you have an open-door policy on the internet, you’re going to get all kinds. That includes whiney bitches, pontificating snobs, and also a bunch of really cool people that are fun to talk to and learn from.
Apparently that rule applies to Ratebeer, BeerAdvocate and ProBrewer.
