Well "Anonymous" that is...
Amusing as his increasingly pathetic antics are, the way Maverick_LSC responds to the criticism you level at him can tell us a lot about the kind of person he is. It's been a while since the psych courses I took in college, but hey, I'll go ahead and take a stab at it...
Overall, I get the impression that Maverick_LSC is a very insecure person. Not only does he let his wife run his life and belittle his hobbies, he seems to lack the courage necessary to confront you over the criticisms you've blasted him on your podcast. Instead of being able to talk to you like an adult and explain the reasons behind many of the unethical and controversial decisions he's made, his insecurities motivate him to cyber-stalk those who criticize him in hopes of intimidating them into silence and taking the occasional immature pseudo-anonymous potshot at them. To me, these behaviors indicate a man frustrated with a life of subordination to higher authorities that don't respect him, and is lashing out to protect the illusory authority and empty respect he receives as a Robotech.com moderator from being diminished by those who have earned their positions as authorities in the fanbase and the respect of the fans.
In short, the reason Maverick is acting like this is because he feels you're threatening his credibility (as if he had any) and his perceived authority. It's the same reason he lashed out at, and banned, me for publicly shaming him over on Robotech.com.

JT, you have way too much pent up anger in your podcasts. Mav is not bad at all, and your responses to him is smaking you look more like the fool every time I listen. He helped to bring Robotech to the Space channel up here in Canada. Many canadians respect him for that. Cut him some slack, he knows what he's talking about.
That Maverick has so little in the way of fan support that he has to resort to trying to defend himself from behind a perceived (but ultimately illusory) veil of anonymity speaks volumes about how his views are received by the fans. You'd think such unpopularity would prompt him to modify his behavior, but doing so would undermine the illusion of crusader-like confidence in his own moral and intellectual superiority he thinks he's presenting to us all, so he'll likely never do it.

Exactly why Maverick, and for that matter... Harmony Gold, think that getting
Robotech on Canada's Space channel is an accomplishment worthy of celebration. After all, the Space channel is a nosebleed network that only exists because the Canadian telecommunications commission needed a way to block the importation of the Sci-Fi channel by Canadian cable companies. Kind of a failure, really... since a great deal of Sci-Fi original programming still ends up on Space.
As you no doubt already know, Harmony Gold's supposed achievements often become much less impressive when you know all the facts surrounding them, and this is no exception. The important part that both Maverick_LSC and Kevin McKeever conveniently forget to bring up when they start patting themselves on the back for getting the old
Robotech series on Space is the time slot it was given. Far from being a prime time program,
Robotech spent the duration of its run on Space in the sort of time slot most networks reserve for infomercials they're sure nobody wants to see... Saturday morning at 7:00am. The feeling of achievement that results from
Robotech being back on the air in North America loses a bit of its oomph when you take stock of the situation and note that even before the show went to air, the network had singled
Robotech out as the weakest title in its lineup and unceremoniously dumped it into a time slot that practically guaranteed low ratings and an abbreviated run for the series. True to form,
Robotech's run on Space was a brief one and the show has been removed from their schedule.
(Amusingly enough, the show's page on Space's website has only two comments, one of which is by Maverick, where he proclaims that the show is "EPIC!" and "classic sci-fi at its best". Clearly the network executives and the audience don't agree...)

So how many cocks did you suck to get this standing on Macrossworld. Dumb ass!!!
At this point, I'm forced to wonder what the LSC in his name really stands for... could it possibly be:
Maverick_
L(oves)
S(ucking)
C(ock)? It would certainly fit with his new, bendo-esque penis fixation where you're concerned.
