I have no problems or issues with topics changing, because ultimately they usually do get back on topic. The only problems or issues I have are when it goes off-topic and turns into a fight or mudslinging contest, ya know?

That's happened to a number of threads in the movie forum...

Oh - obviously you haven't had a chance to look at the 1 YEAR HISTORY of BB's posts to know what had been going on here. How long have you been back? One month? And YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON? Give me a break. Read BB's posts. Read his constant bashing. I'm tired of it and I will state my opinions whether anyone likes it or not. If anyone wants to see all the things I have said beside the hack comments - look at my 2 YEARS worth of posts.

As for the review thread - there were only a couple of off topic posts and I was talking to Bropous - go into the FotR threads BEFORE you were even here. Bropous and I used to get into heated arguments - he made a post that surprised me about him hating the movies. I responded to him and joked around with him - he was VERY MUCH like BB is. If you find that offensive or out of line that is fine - but it is the truth. It then went back on topic.

As for the review topic - sorry - but questioning the review and making comments about it is STILL on topic even if it negative to the review. Were we expected to just accept the review when the reviewer gets all these benefits from Jackson?

Get off your high-horse for christ's sake. Just because I wasn't posting for a while or have only been registered for about a year doesn't mean I haven't read things. I have no problem with people voiceing their opinions whether they are negative or positive, but it does get annoying when the SAME negative comments are made over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and well you get the point. It's happened in a number of threads. Don't believe me? Then I suggest YOU go read them.

Get over yourself...

Dúnedain · 12-05-2003, 09:43 PM

And for the record once again.

I am not only talking about people who don't like the movies. BB pisses me off too. I'm sick of him saying the same sh1t over and over again as well. Harldy any discussion or thread is safe here anymore, because we are either gonna hear the same thing from BB or the same thing from JD.

How about this for a compromise?

Make one thread and title it "Over and Over again, a Hobbits tale"

Why don't you get off yourself. Yes - your not being here does have a bearing on whether your opinions are valid concerning the current blowup. You haven't been here and you haven't seen all that has been going on. It would be good if you got off your damn high horse.

Yes - things do get repeated over and over and over again. It is also because if you see - a lot of time the person who is being responded to is a movie newbie with less than 10 posts. Or it's with BB going on and on and on and on about how Jackson is king. As I said before - you don't like what I have to say - put me on damn ignore.

Enough! I am posting some new posting guidelines for this forum soon. Apparently the rules that exist for the rest of Enmoot aren't good enough for this forum, and it needs its own set so that the babysitting isn't as difficult.

This thread is closed.

Ironic that the 'peace treaty' thread got closed for fighting.
