I haven't seen a moderator in some time now.  I think that experiment is over.

If so, Invelos, please give us back the bad reputation voting with some (but IMO too little) consequences.

Rho:

Is this not a personal attack from YOU. You pontificate all whilst attacking another user because he dares to express his opinions. I am entitled to my opiniions, the Froum Rules do not prohibit what i have said in any manner, I attacked no one by name, I did not even identify the credit only the format. Your comment alone validates my comments.

Only pontification is now allowed in these forums by Rho. Shall I kiss your ring. INCREDIBLE, sheesh

Well, well, well,

@Skip, the thread title is not really ok, calling someone an idiot is inappropiate.

I am wondering why it cannot be discussed in a civil and friendly way, if a NO vote is justified or not.
Why does this always lead into personal attacks ?

cheers
Donnie


Lead?

Fixed that for you.

Cliff:

What personal attack did it start with? I ahve looked at the OP yet again, no persoanl slams there. Donnie used the correct verb. I often ask myself the same question Donnie,

So what you are saying is it's not an insult if I am the only one that knows I'm being insulted? 

No, what I'm saying is that many people reading the OP did not know to whom Skip was referring.  By your response, you provided information that many did not have -- and exposed the insult far beyond those who were already in the know.

Quote:
One more time, just to be clear. You are defending the Skip, who insulted me, because I was the only one who knew he was talking to me. So as long as nobody else knows who is being insulted it is OK to fire away according to you.

All I'm saying is that it was you who brought your name into the discussion, not Skip.  And no, it's not OK to insult someone -- and I agree that the wording subject of this thread is in poor taste.

Ken:

What would you suggest, my friend. I consider the behaviors outlined...and MORE to be in poor taste at the very best, and that is making a gentlemanly judgement. When I was writing the OP I was not in a gentlemanly mood, I call it like I SEE it. Maybe i should call myself Howard Cossell.

This is Howard Cossell live from the Forums of DVDProfiler.....

Unless your definition of "some users" is the equivalent of the mathematical empty set Ø you called at least two users ("some") "idiots". If that isn't a personal slam I don't know what is.

Did I name anyone, Karsten? NO, I did not. Trust me I could go on. Let's talk about users who go around a cast valid No votes, but when the Profile is fixed, they don't bother to cast a Yes vote...can you say personally insulting agenda. Sure you can.... Trust me, my friend, you have no idea. Actually that line would be more appropriate to a different comment but it works.

Hour and hours of endless entertainment.

Anyone who tries to submit scans with unmatched UPCs should be voted down, but I don't see what name-calling accomplishes. I fidn this ironic as Skip has in the past argued that we should trust that he knows what he's doing, i.e. vote on personality and where I come from (the Midwest), calling people idiots is generally considered contrary to the adult behavior he calls for.

I really don't have a bone in this fight, but that was pretty lame.  I mean, I could sit here and say that any users with Walt Disney as an avatar are morons and then turn around and claim I didn't name anybody specific.  I'm guessing you'd still be kind of ticked off though.

midnit:

I can understabnd what you are saying andAce as well. I will respond thusly, try walking in my shoes and perhaps you will begin to understand> ITRY to understand every user, sometimes I fail at this. Show me how many indications in this thread, just for example, that users have demonstrated any kind of an attempt to walk in another man's shoes, I can coun themm on one hand. Instead I get the usual ad hominem attacks and insults, which essentially only validates the title of the thread.

Walk in the shoes of another man FIRST. I will additionally say that the majority of users  posting to this thread are so filled with hatred and venom that they completely missed the point of the thread to begin with. OR even why I titled the thread as I did....yes there was a reason for it. But because few try and see it, they miss it completely, and that also tells me much about the uesrs who choose to respond.

This begins to remind me of a song. Hold your ears gang.
God is great
Beer is good
And people are crazy

For Hal, you can act like a petulant child with blocks if you wish, that is after all your choice, it's not my fault you can't create an argument but then if i have to point something out anonymously in public which i would prefer to deal with privately, then you can't complain can you. That choice is obne that you make and with every choice there are consequences. While i have zero tolerance for the behaviors i have described, they are also ALL issues I would prefer to handle privately, like pointing out the error in a vote on a Cover or whatever. I stomach this kind of garbage for awhile and then I have enough and it comes out here. You tell me nothing by making communication difficult other than that you cannot argue my points so you take your toys and go home.

It has nothing to do with my ability to form a cogent argument, and everything to do with the abuse and insults which you apparently think are quite acceptable in PMs where they are not moderated.

Nobody who follows these forums is confused about why you are blocked by some....except you.

ROFL you never will get it, Hal and that is a shame, my friend. I will not apologize to anyone  about the passion with which I aproach profiler and want it to be the very BEST.. PM's is we can have a one on one debate, and where when you can't stand up to my argument you run into a corner and hide. Sorry, hal that is not an adult method of dealing with things. You can't deal with either the argument nor the passion I come with, THAT is the problem. I could apply some names to it but I really don't think it necessary.

You might want to pay closer attention to your votes on images.

Hmmmm....haven't we all heard this one before?

Kinda like the "I'm through with these forums" declarations.

Your credibility is zilch, I'm afraid.  In fact, it's comical!

No, hal the comical one is you. The same you that casts votes for Image sets that don't match the profile, the same you that casts a vote and then walks completely away from it. To be fair, my initial pass at the particular image set had me scratching my head about significant improvement and a pink UPC box, for which i voted No, but another user picked up on the UPC not matching the profile, did you revisit and change NOOOOO! A bad image set was perfectly Ok with you, hal, coukld I even send tyou a poliet PM suggesting you revisit it, NOPE, because you can't handle the heat.

So, Hal, the comical one is YOU, and will entertain me for years just like STIV being a comedy still entertains. You come at me with a self-righteous attitude, and you do no wrong ever....BULL don't EVEN.
