: Dude, you just want to be "right". If you want a pat on the head from Kevin Smith that bad then just say so.
I'm gonna let that one slide because you're new.
: Buddy, had you read my messages you might have clued into the fact that this is my *first* day here. For fuck sakes.
You come across as somebody who's been here longer, but that's a good thing. However, it's even worse to come to a place and start trying to dictate new policies with even having the decency to be there long enough to get used to the old ones.
: That "post" you refer to was linked directly from viewaskew.com. I don't understand what vast technological knowledge one must own in order to figure out that I can see one message without perusing half the board.
Well, for starters, how 'bout the fact that I had no idea the post was being publicly displayed, hmm? I know that it's hard for you to believe that those of us who post here are not all obsessed with the site, but the fact is, I'm strictly a boardgoer and only when I'm bored. [Lest you read between the lines wrongly, no, I'm not saying you're obsessed either.]
: : : Refute all you want, but jumping on anyone with a different view point isn't only incredibly insulting your own intelligence, it also deviates other possibly great conversations for the sake of your own dumbass remarks.
: : What great conversation? Has there ever in the history of the world been a 'great conversation' about Jennifer Lopez? Post about something worth talking about and people will talk to you.
: Another strong generalization. ANY conversation! Where did I indicate strictly J.Lo conversations? Never.
Okay, now to say what I said again, "Post about something worth talking about and people will talk to you." You tried to start a conversation about Jennifer Lopez and are now complaining that it isn't a great conversation. If it's a generalization, you've done nothing to disprove it yet.
: This board just *might* be repetitive because no one is allowed to post anything without formal approval.
No, the board is repetitive because of fuckwits who start posts about how much they hate Jennifer Lopez, regardless of the fact that people are trying to stop those posts from happening. You want a good reason? Howsabout the fact that Kevin, in the very post you cited, said that he has been avoiding the boards because of all the idiotic posts about J.Lo? You should try lurking for a few days -- which, I believe, is suggested when you register -- before you start making generalizations, because yours are all ones that can be disproven.
: Fuck guy, it takes you less time to convince a girl to blow your horn than it does to research and then post on this board. And you know for yourself that's sad.
Ooooo. Good one. Hey, next, why not call us all virgins? That'll get the goats of people who are virgins (you'll be able to tell by their steadfast denials).
: : : I'm sure Kevin has no problem with constructive criticism.
: : I know for a fact that he doesn't. You didn't provide him with one whiff, not even one hint, of constructive criticism.
: Well, it's good your speaking for him. Wouldn't want anyone to have their own brain on anything.
That's a pretty stupid thing to say. Sure, I'm answering for him, because he's not here, but I still maintain that 'if you cast her, your real fans will not go to see your movie' is not constructive, nor truly fair criticism. Accusing me of trying to 'speak for Kevin' is stupid, since I have, indeed, been here long enough to know, from experience (aka 'fact') that he doesn't generally mind constructive criticism. Sorry if that bothers you, but I can't change the facts as well as you seem to like to.
: I think my point was clear. Had it not have been, you wouldn't of cited my many posts clearly relating to J.Lo. I could sit here and write a paragraph of behaviour modifications for you to make, but I really shouldn't have to.
No, but you had time to make a stupid blowjob joke. Good one. You're really winning people over here.
: You ARE getting upset over this thread, otherwise a reply wouldn't be needed.
How can you say a reply 'wouldn't have been needed'? You changed the subject to my name and then tried to bitch me out for a response. That still doesn't make me upset. Believe you me, I won't be at this computer at 5:01 posting responses. If I did that, then you'd maybe have a case for being 'upset'. As it is, at best, you've got 'bored at work'.
And coming from a person who claims to want good conversation, complaining about replies is just retarded.
: In that sense, it can be said that I may be upset. I wouldn't say upset, rather disturbed.
You shouldn't get disturbed over things on a webboard. Maybe you're already taking it to seriously after only a day.
: Reply all you want, to get that rewarding pat on the head.
There's that joke again. You act as if you know anything about me based on one post but get all pissed off when I do the same to you. Hypocrisy, or just another example of you being an idiot? I'll let everybody else decide.
: But don't expect a reply from me. I think its obvious I've wasted far too much time arguing, instead of discussing -- the original purpose of a message board.
I still have yet to see you post anything remotely intelligent, especially anything designed to start a 'discussion'. If you didn't want an argument, then why would you come to the man's own web-board and publicly bitch him out over something of which you have little knowledge? Which is to say, you haven't read the script, you haven't met J. Lo, and you have no idea whether she can play the part, but you feel the need to come here and express the idea that all of his original fans [later amended to include 'not me'] will leave him if he does it. Of course people are going to argue against you.
