: ULTIMATELY it's "his" nickel and "his" Board... if He wants to run it this way, who the HELL are you to tell the man otherwise? \
**I hope it was obvious that I completely agree w/ this statement. My point was that based on my 4th-wall-knowledge of Kevin, he seems like the kind of guy who would listen if a vast majority of posters were of one mind regarding this board. He may not agree, but I think he'd consider it under those circumstances. He's made cuts in his movies based on the opinions of those he respects, and I'd like to think that he holds his movies to a higher stick than this board. And hell, if I was Kevin, I don't know if I could wade through all these posts to even figure out that anyone had even started a petition. OF course, I'm not Kevin, nor to I speak for (or to) him.
: SOME PEOPLE still think blacks are "inferior" to whites...
**WHOA! Come on down off that horse, Captain... Last time I checked, the Summaries still stated that OT posts are for the "Other Board," ergo, the old rules are still posted. Don't go all fallible logic on me ans all...
:And being a 'newbie' doesn't exempt you from signing the petition if you think it is right... I just thought it was wrong and spoke my mind. But now that I think about it all, this is really off topic....
**I haven't signed b/c I don't agree w/ it. I understand some of its inspiration, but I don't care what anyone posts at all. I just hate having to wade through hundreds of replies to get to threads I want to read. I have made suggestions as to how to adjust the layout of this board w/out touching the content. Again, Kevin or Ming may read my suggestions and take them to heart, maybe not. Maybe I'll have a legion of posters rally behind me. Who knows?
: Christ, any idiot with a soapbox can say whatever he wants [well, almost] in this country. I seem to recall someone explaining 'the internet' to Jay and Silent Bob in the last movie... might we need to view that again?
**Hey man, Lynch was being a pissant, that's all.
:I would trust LYNCH if I were you... isn't he the Vader to the Emporer on this board?
**I come here b/c I really appreciate Kevin's work. I honestly never know a thing about Lynch before I came here, and since I don't think he writes Kevin's movies, I don't consider him Vader at all. Over time I might get to know and appreciate his stuff better, but as far as this board goes, I've seen him be unnecessarily pissy and egg on fights that "Red Letter Leaders" really should be above (three letters, starts w/ "H" ends w/ "L"). Sorry guys.
:Popularity is over rated...
**I keep telling myself that...
