How do I end membership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

After daring to stand up for Will Smith, and his cute son, I no longer feel welcome here, and therefore would like to end my membership.

I read stuff or reactions from others towards Will Smith, that turned my stomache...
And have since been given the cold shoulder...which has effected my enthusiam I originally came here with.

I still do not feel the things I read on that thread were movie related, but were rather a display of social commentary instead. For none of it dealt with the performance of his son, rather remarks or dislikes against, well...I'll just leave it at that....

And if sticking up for Will and his son makes me a 'bad' person to those on this forum.. well, that tells me all I need to know...and thus I would like to end my membership...

Problem is I don't know how...
So if a moderater could tell me how to end my membership, I'd appreciate it...

Well, first off, I don't know what you're talking about, so I doubt numerous members have anything against you, since they weren't even in that thread. I will need to go look at it before I can give any other opinion than that one. I will say that we are all going to have different opinions, and it's best not to get too upset when someone disagrees with you. Personally I could care less what anyone thinks about what I like. It's too trivial to worry about.

As far as canceling your account goes, you simply stop posting. They don't get deleted, if that's what you're asking about.

Again, I wouldn't leave over a difference of opinion. I'll go look at the thread now.

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

I see that it wasn't others getting upset with your opinion, but you getting upset with their's. We all have the right to say what we like and do not like. Also, it is to be expected on a message board. When you join these things, you need to know/be aware that not everyone will share your opinion, but that it's their right. I will second what Sedai said in that thread. You went about this in the wrong way, and yes, neg repping over opinion isn't the best choice to make.

The best thing you can do, if you'd like to give the board another chance, is simply move on from that situation, and try not to take other's opinions so personally anymore. There is no way on earth you will ever agree with everyone on here.

Again, if you do decide to leave the board, we don't normally go around deleting posts and accounts, simply because you want to leave. Normally the person just leaves.

Without making a scene... That's not even completely true, I just wanted to say I think this thread is pointless. It's like a person yelling "I'M LEAVING!" and then slamming the door on the way out. Just creep out the back man, we'll live.

Is this your first time on a forum?

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

You really ought to read The Karate Kid thread again. Nobody's taking shots at Will Smith (or you, for that matter). They're taking shots at what they think is going to be a bad movie whose very existence is sort of cynical. I daresay you should be prepared for that sort of sentiment when posting on a movie forum.

And, frankly, your trying-to-be-subtle-but-isn't-at-all insinuation of prejudice factoring into this is very serious, and doesn't seem to have much evidence to support it. Particularly among regulars here. I think that's a pretty cheap card to play when there's a far more likely explanation available: movies like this usually aren't very good.

Anyway, only you can decide what to take umbrage at, I suppose, but I can't fathom why this would be so bothersome, or why you would decide to take it personally. And I seriously doubt anyone else took enough notice of that discussion to give you the "cold shoulder." I think that's in your head, frankly. If you feel you actually have to leave over this, that's your call, though I think you ought to reconsider.

If you decide to go anyway, there's no need to "end" your membership, because it's free. You can simply stop using it.

Attention

I agree. Just don't do what I did and make and A-hole out of yourself by announcing you are leaving over and over. Especially for reasons that are idiotic. :laugh:

This is all incredibly silly.

Stay :yup: you may learn a lot from many knowledgeable people here :yup:

Do we not have an 'I'm leaving/I'm coming back' thread for this kind of post?

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Starlite, you're overreacting. Just cos someone disagrees with you don't get a cob on and leave. Will Smith is a decent bloke and if you felt like you were defending his kid then good for you. Remakes are always a contentious subject specially if the original forms part of someones childhood memories, but tbh most of the time it's just a nostalgia thang rather than the original was an absolute work of art , so just chill out and stay cos this is a nice place :)

What is a moderator?

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Someone who helps run the site; they have the ability to add/edit/move/delete threads and posts, ban spammers, etc.

I believe you have to fill out a form for that, and....well....you've already posted so....

Now this is the story all about how my forum got flip-turned upside down...

Seriously, though, reckon he/she is going to come back?

Thats awesome Iro im sure I will be using that from time to time haha

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Sorry Starlite, if you went back a second time to read my post, read a different user's post (again), yet still can't figure out it wasn't me who posted the comment, I just can't help you.

Are you talking about Smith's real son (if he has one) or the kid who played his son in that movie? If it's the movie role, the kid's an actor and as opened to pans as to praise.

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

He is all the above. He is his son in real life, and in that movie. However, they were discussing The Karate Kid remake, which Will Smith produces, or some ****. His son stars in it with Jackie Chan. I love Jackie Chan probably more than anyone here, with Pyro running a close second. However, I'm not giving a crap about this movie, either. Freaking remakes.

See, I'm totally out of touch with this. I was grown when I took my kids to see the original and I thought it was kinda lame. Like you, I like Jackie Chan's silliness and the fact he doesn't pretend kung fu is too holy to laugh at.

Sounds like fans of Smith and his family will go see the film and most others will not. Oh, well, safer than buying the kid a car for his birthday. I just hope they don't do that stupid one-legged Praying Pelican or whatever they called that stance again. Going into a fight standing unsteadily on one foot is just asking to get your clock cleaned!

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Ruf must not have seen the second flick, where Daniel tries to stand on one foot in a fight again. The other guy catches his foot and sends him ass over teakettle. ;)

After that, everyone takes out toy drums, which win the fight for Daniel....or something like that. :|

WHACK THIS = WIN

Every time I see this thread I start humming....


Just slip out the back, Jack... make a new plan, Stan...
No need to be coy, Roy... just listen to me...
Hop on the bus, Gus... no need to discuss much...
Just drop off the key....

So Starlite, you need to grow a thicker skin. No one was even rude to you on that thread though your responses bordered on rudeness.

In short:
Quit whining!

If only Starlite was named Lee, he can set himself free. :p

You choose to be here Starlite, it`s not even a real place.

I actually found a way to end membership here on this site.
But, when I told this to the moderators,
the next day, I found a horse's head in my bed & a bunny rabbit boiling in my kitchen.
So, for the sake of the animals in the petting zoo near where I live,
I'm still here.

*Zen-mode* Sometimes some people mistake a cry for help for a battlecry and vice versa. *Zen-mode-off*

And personally I can`t stand people who can`t stand me, only because I don´t like them.

:laugh:

Of course it's a real place!

Don't you have the address? According to your post count you've managed to find your way here over 700 times.

Matter of fact, I paid an old wineo outside the theater to take my kids to see the sequel just so I wouldn't have to sit through that blecchh again! :)

What is a movie forum?

Being a non-moderator and all round not generally politically correct guy I feel no amount of pressure to be nice and not call you an attention seeking cry baby. This is not movieandholdhandswhiledancinginthedaisychainsunderarainbow.com this is movieforums.com. In which people will have an opinion some times, that opinion will even differ from yours. Its very easy to cancel your membership without the need to create an entire thread not only on while your being a sook but why your leaving. Just dont come back. It really is that easy.

No one in the thread called you a moron or an idiot for example. So without the need to be nice Ill just say something that will help you in soooo many area's of your life Just....Get...Over....it

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

DOUBLE POST RAGE! You could of used the IM function of the website instead of publically whinging

A meeting place held together by codes, where numerous people from all over the world discuss movies . . . and other stuff.

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Maybe we should just sticky this thread as a preventative measure against this kind of thing.

I forgot to pay my dues this month, am I still good to post?

Speaking of paying dues, does any Movie Forum member belong to this organization, once very popular in some parts of the Hollywood community? (You don't have to answer on the grounds it may...)

Re: How do I end memebership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Ill stick up for Will and I don't give a hoot what anyone else says. He's the Fresh Prince yo.What the heck happened to DJ Jazzy Jeff?

I think of internet-forums as viritual energy fields, with the unholy power of backlashing into the real reality.

Re: How do I end membership? (I dared to stick up for Will Smith)
 

Ask the Union Rep he will know how to cancel your membership.
