Your mom didn't breastfeed you long enough. *grin* I hope you still get that and haven't forgotten.
For the record, thought, I don't consider myself part of the mean vibe (do you now? Because that would probably turn my kids against me...if that guy with the cool Han Solo sand sculpture didn't like me.)
Jen :o)
: ...don't be so quick to run off in a huff. Honestly, there are, like, 20,000 registered posters.
: I think a grand total of 5 have said anything harsh to you, and one of them is that "Fletch" guy, so that does not count. (You need a full set of 23 chromosomes to count.) But I understand that it can seem like EVERYBODY hates you or is pouncing on you when those 5 post at the same time.
: You're here for the same reason everybody else is here; you honestly love the films that Kevin Smith writes. Don't cheat yourself out of having the chance to virtually "hang out" with the guy who has made you laugh & entertained you so much, just becuase some folks love to feel "in with the summary-reading-in-crowd."
: You have as much right to express ytourself here as anybody else does.
: I hate to see an enthusiastic fan squashed by the general mean-vibe on the board. I know that when I first posted here, I posed a relatively off-topic question for the VA staff, and the first response I got from anyone was something to the effect of "FUCK YOU AND DIE." I "went away" for a good two months after that. I checked back in on a day that Brian Lynch had posted something referencing the short-lived (but mcuh loved) 80s tv show AUTOMAN, and have been hooked ever since. (So blame Lynch for my verbal diarhea here.)
: I think folks don't realize that Banky was not the hero of Chasing Amy; it was only Lee's charisma that made him such a favorite. The character itself is a grade-A prick. And when folks try to be Banky-on-the-Board, without Lee's charm or any particular wit, it just makes things nasty.
: But don't give up on everybody just yet. Most folks here *are* of similar interest base, sense of humor, and generally nice. We all like the same 4 flicks, now don't we?
