I made an assumption (a very naughty thing to do I admit)...I was simply trying to see the logic in your statement.

I failed because there wasn't any. Sorry.

You gather incorrectly.

There you go. If you don't want "sound effects editors", you shouldn't come up with an approach to other credits which will encourage users to add them as well.

I'll decide for myself what I should and shouldn't do, thank you very much.

For the record: I actually do tend to abide by poll results, except, of course, the ones that are in conflict with the rules, or where there's an official statement from Invelos that trumps the poll numbers. So I've got no idea what you're talking about. I guess congratulations are in order: yet again, you've managed to throw in a completely unfounded and wholly unrelated attack for no reason whatsoever. It's exactly this behaviour that makes these forums such a nasty place. 

Here is a poll, about ADR as cast, where a clear majority, 54 to 18, decided that they were not cast.  You don't agree, so found a reason, and it wasn't one of the reasons you listed above, to discount that poll.

Here is a poll, about how to count TV credits, where a small majority, 20 yo 32, decided to count per season.  While not a clear concensus, because you agree with it, you cite it as a clear decision.

I am sorry, but it sure seems like you agree with the majority when it suits you, and ignore them when it doesn't.

I guess I could have avoided this little side trip by simply replying with, "I'll decide for myself what reasoning I will and won't apply, thank you very much.

Wow, nice out of nowhere insult.  And to think, I had recently told another user what a nice guy you were.  Seems I was mistaken.

I didn't insult you. 

Maybe my wording was a little off...I'll rephrase... "I failed because I couldn't find any logic" or "Our logic works differently" or "Our logic took us in different directions".
I meant to say that because of your reply I was way off with my assumption - and that my sense of logic wasn't a factor in your decision to allow one option and disallow the other.

I see how you could have misinterpreted what I wrote...but, then, the inclusion of 'Sorry', to me indicates that I was making an apology.

Oh well.

Not to worry: this is just how he works. As I said earlier: it's sad, really, and it's exactly this behaviour that makes these forums such a nasty place, but there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it besides trying to ignore him. I'll try to do just that...

It might be a cultural thing as the inclusion of the word 'sorry', at least here in the states, doesn't always indicate an apology.  It is not uncommon for somone to say something like, "You're just a moron.  I'm sorry, but you are."  As you can see, the inclusion of the word 'sorry' doesn't make it any less of an insult.

As I indicated, I was rather surprised as I didn't expect it from you.  From T!M, yes...because he believes my opinion to be inferior due to my low contribution count...but not from you.  I will take you at your word that you didn't mean it as an insult and move on.
