Seth Green voice) Why don't you check out Load's tribute to you above, under his 'gee Lynch' post...hmmm, "beating a dead horse" sounds familiar as I have would have to say it applies here.
: ...don't be so quick to run off in a huff. Honestly, there are, like, 20,000 registered posters.
And to think I thought you were blonde...you can actually count
: 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.
The only ones 'pouncing' on her are the hard ons who feel the need to defend her (Soley because she posted some picture that gives you guys a stiffy)...and the ones trying to strike up a conv w/ her in hopes of losing the dreaded 'hands of the jacker' syndrome. I've never seen Darth (Again in the Seth Green voice) come to any other newcomer's aid here so consider yourself Special (Church Lady voice)
: 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."
Few to many in's there Darth (Seth Green voice)...and some folks feel like they are "in" with Kevin because they play spiderman on playstation
: You have as much right to express ytourself here as anybody else does.
Alright, so you now purposefully misspelling words for her in back to back paragraphs...How sweet
: 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.)
How you can even consider "FUCK YOU AND DIE" and these posts in the same breath goes way beyond the normal realm of thinking...
: 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.
No, what makes things nasty can be one's own misinterpretation of what was said (Which is very common on the net, you don't hear the tone of the person here)...that and a lack of thick skin
: 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?
"Most folks" in here didn't chime in on this thread either...
