View Full Version : IMDB Assimilation
A lot of people would blame him too, she is very popular here and rightfully so.

Yeah, I'm not into harassing people. But I will speak my mind, which seems to be allowed in here.

Oh, by the way, I'm an IMDB refugee. I spent 15 freakin' years there. Glad I found y'all.
What did she do?
Want to point out that post of mine you repped earlier was a joke, i thought you took it as a joke but obviously not since you have her on ignore haha.
I'm honestly not sure what post it was--there was something you said that made me laugh.
As for what she did? I put her on ignore because I found her obnoxious, overbearing and someone who tried to police my forum activities even down to the point of getting on my case for having spaces in my posts.
I don't like people like that so I slapped her on ignore quickly. Haven't regretted my decision since.

That's fine i just think he was whether deliberately or not giving off the impression that she is widely hated and unpopular here and that is not the case.

Yeah, I gathered that as well which is part of the reason I placed her on ignore. I'd rather not rock that boat and deal with all the drama that would ensue. Personalities like hers just aren't my cup of tea.
But, that's fine--I don't see what she's doing so I don't really care. :yup:

I jokingly said she is terrible and should be banned so i think you were agreeing with me thinking i'm serious. Anyway i didn't see those posts so i don't know what happened but yeah she is not a bad or unpopular member.

Actually, I wasn't fully aware of the love/hate ratio but was aware that some people get along with her (some of my friends here do, for example) but also knew that many shared my sentiments.
In any case--I wouldn't ever harass her over this which is why I put her on ignore--some personalities just aren't meant to jive. This way, she continues doing her own thing and I can do mine. It's a win-win for both sides, really.

to be frank, you don't even know her. you don't know any of us yet. i get that people can grate on your nerves, and first impressions are important blah blah... but... it seems really weird to me to just slap someone on ignore if they just slightly annoy you, and then go around talking about how awful they are and how no one likes them. especially the queen of mofo who can do no wrong.
(jk with that last sentence. sorta)
Cool, now i think pretty much everything that possibly could be has been addressed so this should die until it comes up again in another few weeks IMO.

That IS what I thought you were doing when I agreed with you, yes.
Understood. Fine by me. I'm choosing to ignore her and some of you are carrying on with her--all good. Everyone gets what they want and no one gets hurt--as it should be. :yup:

when i first started on Mofo, over 12 years ago, i couldn't stand Sedai. oh my god i hated him lol. i thought he was arrogant and rude. then we started talking one-on-one and i was like, wow, this guy is smart, and cool, and interesting. now he's my homie. and yeah, he can be kinda arrogant sometimes, but he's way more than that.
ok, there's my old-timer wisdom, whippersnappers.
and then go around talking about how awful they are and how no one likes them.
This part definitely annoys me and it's not just IMDB people so don't think this is Round 12 of US vs THEM. TONGO (who is my boy now you know i'm not trying to drag up old stuff but it's relevant ;) ) used to do this all the time to me when i was on his ignore and it was so annoying. Knowing that they could say whatever they want about you and not have to see your response, i think it should be a given that when you have someone on ignore you don't continue to badmouth them. It's just bad form IMO.

I dont think we met over there. As a coffee addict I would remember that name. Hi!

i guess my point of saying that is, if i had just immediately ignored him the first time he pissed me off then i never would have gotten to know him and found out he's a cool guy. and i know that Missy Vicky is an asset to this board, so immediately when a new member just blocks her i'm like HEY C MON NOW

No, I don't know her, nor do I want to.
It was much more than just "slapping her on ignore because she slightly annoyed me". She did more than slightly annoy me. On the other site, I ignored 10 people over the course of ELEVEN years. In other words--it takes a lot for me to place someone on ignore. So, on that same token--YOU guys don't know ME either.
Uh, never once said that no one likes her. Never once. And my observation (which was decidedly flawed and inaccurate) was based more on how people around her talk about her and I'm NOT talking about my "IMDB pals". So, I was wrong in my assessment, apparently. Oh, well. It happens. But, since I don't know you and you don't know me, it would be premature of you to just write me off as someone who ignores at the drop of a hate or was "slightly" annoyed by her. That's only fair.

Have nothing but good things to say about Sedai. Very friendly and easy to dialogue with [and has excellent taste in music too].
Can't say anything about Miss Vicky [the "bitch" underneath her avatar made me :rolleyes:,] Was friendly towards me from the get go and that's all that matters to me personally.
Sadly can't say the same thing about everyone [but the majority seem nice enough]

I often disagree with people, and think that some people are just WUM's and understand that there are some that I will agree with about very little, yet I can't think of a time when I have been overly bothered by what a stranger on an internet forum says to me.
I have never placed anyone on ignore. I find diversity character building and it helps me learn tolerance.

Nope. Some of my best female poster friends are self-proclaimed bitches (their words, not mine)--my own wife calls herself a bitch--I'm no stranger to aggressive posters, male or female. I admire aggressive attitudes more often than not. There you go, guys--you just learned something about me. Take from that what you will...
There were other aspects of her attitude and views that told me right off the bat: "This is someone that would take a lot of effort to deal with" and that's not what I'm here for.
I'll lay it out right now. This is me in a nutshell: 90% of my forum posting time is done while I'm at work (the flow of things allows me to do so) and I come to the forum to relax, unwind and enjoy myself. I'm neither here for serious friendships nor do I view this place as anything remotely resembling real life.
If some of you found a rapport with her--great! Swell. Doesn't matter to me. Some of you had to "work at it" to get to like her? Swell! More power to you. That's admirable. I've no doubt that I, too, probably could put forth that same effort (I did before when I was younger and more invested in forums, taking them more seriously back then) but I'm just not that sort of person online anymore. I don't WANT to get to know someone that has that sort of "gotta grow used to them to eventually like them" baggage. Why? Because I don't come here for anything other than my own entertainment. I've made some fantastic friends along the way so this isn't one of those "push everyone away" attitudes. I'm just not here for serious business. She put me off so I put her on ignore. Does neither me nor her any favors to persist in an effort that I don't want to persist in. Why? Again--this isn't serious stuff to me.
This is why I put Omni on ignore--if this is going to turn into arguing then it's not worth it, hence my eventual ignoring of that poster.
I love arguing in the form of debates (that's the nature of the beast with forums) but not personal pissing matches.
So, maybe it's a matter of different perceptions/different reasons for being here. This place isn't important business to me. I'm here for leisure. Simple as that.
If that aspect of my personality puts anyone off then oh well--that's who I am. Why do you think that most of my posts here are goofy? That's what I'm here for--to unwind and talk about sht. That's why I get extra annoyed when people start aiming crap my way--that's not what I'm here for. You'd be amazed by the number of online buddies I've made over the years and how many of them who are not members of this site could and would vouch for me if they were members.
I guess my reasoning for being here makes me come off as looking/sounding careless. That's not at all true...I'm just here to unwind. That's all I want, ultimately. As I've told Yoda many times, any aggression from me only came as a result of some form of provocation, one way or another, whether aimed at me or my pals.
My point? I'm not here for a fight.

If I'm going to join a "discussion forum" site, using an ignore feature seems antithetical. But then I'm somebody who likes to be disagreed with - I enjoy debate, it's one of the reasons I come to a site like this (that, and the movie talk of course).
I don't know, I just think the ignore feature is kind of immature. It's kind of like going to a townhall meeting, but then when certain people get up to speak you put your fingers in your ears and go "LA-LA-LA!" until they sit down.
If somebody is spamming the site or spewing unwarranted hatred, they'll be dealt with by moderation. But if one person just doesn't like hearing someone else's opinion or has a problem expressing a counter one, maybe they should be doing something outside rather than engaging with an open forum discussion board on a computer.
Just my opinion - ignore it if you like! ;)

I came here when IMDb closed its forums, and it's kind of slow at times, but I like it so far. I try not to get too emotionally invested in a message board, though I might get emotional about stuff happening in them if I'm sick of some jerk's behavior towards me, but I just want to discuss movies, and those who make them. If I do that, I'm happy. Hey, discussing the films I made is fun, too. I'm not great, but I enjoy piecing together films.

FYI, there should be an option to report something under the little More Options cog on the top right of each post. And it really is worth the trouble, because sometimes it only takes a couple of members (there's a weighted points system based on post count and tenure) to have something removed. If you report spam when you see it, there's a pretty good chance your report will be the one that automatically removes it.

No one joins a forum to be jumped on, seek out to have arguements with nor to be insulted. Unless that someone is a glutton for punishment.
If the Ignore function is there, it is there for a reason. And it was there before we came to this site.

No, because you did it behind a veil. Veils are for wimps, right? You said it yourself--putting people on ignore is wimpy. Ignore feature is a veil.

This post, the one you're reading (whoever you are), is the cutoff point: please, no more personal insults or name calling.
Feel free to disagree, criticize, etc. I've given everyone more latitude than usual because emotions are probably running a little high, almost everyone is getting and giving it, and this is an unusual situation, but the last few pages are a bit too far.

Yea you know how friends or co-workers might tell each other to go f**k themselves, but it's in a good natured way? A lot of us are like that here. Maybe some of us should be more sensitive towards newer members until a relationship is built and we understand each other's boundaries, sure, but those newer members should never butt into other member's exchanges and take offense when it's just friends playing.
From my experience here anyway, 99.99% of the time, nothing malicious is ever intended. I'm just a sarcastic prick amongst other sarcastic pricks. But even then, they only when we're teasing each other, which isn't that often.

This brand of humor is nothing new and nothing pedestrian to me (I use it all the time in my offline life). But online it can be difficult to read sometimes....Especially here on MoFo. Here on MoFo it's sometimes so subtle that you'd have to be an "in the know" member here to even recognize it. This isn't easy for us newcomers to get used to. Maybe we will eventually but for right now, I can barely decipher some of it.

A uni student and I were discussing 'gaijin' learning japanese business culture. He said Japan is traditionally a rice cultivating culture. Change a farming method and you can all starve to death. The west is hunter gatherer culture. Fossick around for berries then go spear a woolly mammoth. Change the tool and no probs, get your old tool back and carry on. When the two cultures merge they have a period of learning what works best to keep everyone fed and happy.

Dude, you're the Detective. Do your work then. Because as it stands, you just being silly.
Not an argument.
No, that was stating a fact with half the story in hand. Which makes it a fallible supposition.It's not a supposition. You may argue that it is a presupposition, but whatever happened prior to the exchange I've quoted is beside the point I was making anyway. You've presented no counter-narrative that reduces to anything other than "educate yourself".
Its just "Iroquois was before, therefor I'm entirely justified to take petty exception to this."
it is clear you have an agenda from the get go,. Which makes you a dubious person to take a fact from.
Facts are facts, regardless of their source.
given that you even came forth suggesting I do the same with you, your agenda is becoming clear.
My "agenda" should have been clear from the start when I explained it. You've given an opinion and I'm criticizing it.
So being honest and cordial is being vindictive?Well at least you think you're being nice.
Only to those who are untrustworthy themselves, maybe?See that's the third time in this post you've needlessly attempted to impugn my motives. Not a very intellectually [I]honest approach to discussion.
I also having a blast watching you twitch and turn,That "honest and cordial" bit didn't last long.
It'0s all for naught tho. You realize that?
Well, not everyone is willing to admit to personal faults.
You aren't making a point
except a bad one for yourself,
which you already did once,
but not towards me
That doesn't make any sense.

I think this is what Little Devil is talking about when he says "Iroquois already attacked me once". From the "when is it okay to change race/gender" thread (with the relevant parts bolded):
I fully agree with everything you said. There's a lot of "social politics" in Hollywood. The example you just gave of Alien Covenant is really glaring.
It makes no sense whatsoever to have a gay couple as colonists. They can maybe reproduce by donating sperm to the females, but logistically it's way too cumbersome.
[to be honest, the "human vegetation" and "who planted it" made no sense whatsoever as well; again it's Prometheus level of bad writing]
Female Ghostbusters is also a glaring example of SJW catering.
As a control group? Now that I think about, the whole thing reads like one of those doomed-to-fail social experiments that Vault-Tec liked to pull in the Fallout series. I would expect nothing less of Weyland-Yutani.
As for the rest of the thread - yeah, I'm not bothered by such alterations. Adaptations have been taking liberties with their sources for a long time already so I figure it's acceptable if they try punching up for a change. I'll notice if the choices seem too contrived (with Fant4stic being a prominent example), but thinking that it's done solely to appease some SJW/PC crowd just sounds foolish at best.
That's less to do with Little Devil personally and more to do with the fact that I find this line of thinking objectionable no matter who it comes from. You could be here for one month or fifteen years and I'll still take you to task over it - just check the thread and see that multiple people (including Little Devil) try and pull the "black JFK" card even when the OP explicitly disqualified it. Little Devil never called me out on this "attack" until it came time to the "I'm blocking you forever" post referenced earlier, hence why his outburst took me by surprise. Also, again, how am I the instigator for disagreeing with a negatively-themed thread that he started? Hell, would I even have noticed that I'd been put on ignore if he hadn't gone on this whole scorched-earth tangent against me in multiple threads? For someone who claims to hate "instigators" so much, Little Devil has done more than his fair share already and then tries to make me out like I'm the pot-stirring bad guy in all this. The constant "he's NEVER coming off ignore!" thing isn't helping either and just makes him look petulant more than anything.
Still, at the end of the day I just feel sorry for Little Devil. It's clear that his time dealing with more belligerent users on the IMDb boards have turned him into an extremely defensive individual that takes any significant level of disagreement as a personal attack and has to institute this unflinching code of conduct that is ironically more likely to make him seem unreasonable than reasonable. For all I know, he could take me off ignore (if he hasn't already) but won't publicly admit to it for fear of losing face after all this controversy.

Rodent is actually onto something here. Like I said before, there's a good chance I wouldn't have even known I was put on ignore if Little Devil hadn't made such a big deal of it - he might not be the first person to hit ignore on me, but he's the first I found out about precisely because he tried to be all dramatic about it. His continued engagement (insofar as you can call it engagement) shows it was never really about ignoring me.

No one jumped down your throat about Vicky. We pointed out that she is very much well liked here because whether intentionally or not your post implied she wasn't.
Anyway i think this thread should be closed it's just going through all the same crap as yesterday.
Just do what I do and ignore people.
Not like use the ignore function, just ignore the person.
The great thing with the internet, is that arguing will simply get you nowhere.
Ignoring someone, they eventually just ignore you too.
The POINT I'm trying to make here is that I STOPPED arguing and I STOPPED bringing IMDB and what happened? That's right--a MoFo member started bringing it up themselves as well as kicking the argument back up. It's a double standard and why should I sit by silently in the face of that hypocrisy?
If you guys want us "n00bs" to be a part of this community, adhere to your rules, brand of humor, etc, then this double standard ***** needs to STOP. Otherwise, I see no reason why myself or other new posters should have ANY reason whatsoever to respect this site or the community. What's fair is fair.

Yeah, ash called it: time to close this thread. Really wanted to avoid doing that, for obvious reasons, but I think most people would agree that whatever constructive conversation could be had from it, has already been had.
I'm not averse to trying to talk about all this again, but at minimum, I think we'd need a cool-down period. Maybe talking to each other directly would help, too, but that's up to the people involved.
when i first started on Mofo, over 12 years ago, i couldn't stand Sedai. oh my god i hated him lol. i thought he was arrogant and rude. then we started talking one-on-one and i was like, wow, this guy is smart, and cool, and interesting. now he's my homie. and yeah, he can be kinda arrogant sometimes, but he's way more than that.
ok, there's my old-timer wisdom, whippersnappers.
Yea, I didn't have much patience back then, and I was pretty opinionated, if I recall. I used to take things much more personally, as well. I have mellowed in my old age!
