Quoted from Higgonaitor Wait, I'm sorry Alan, what were you saying?

Cool poster!  The kind of people who need to learn the lessons which the movie CAN teach are enticed by that poster to see the movie.  It's kind of like how the first seven minutes of the anime ELFIN LIED are about a hot naked girl killing twenty-three people in a spectacular splatter-fest.  The sexy splatter-fest hooks people to that show which later has scenes which teach the exact moral lessons which the types of people whom the hook hooked might need to learn.  It's manipulative, but it's also curative.  It's why even though Japan has some of the goriest shows, it also has very well-mannered citizens.

Quoted from Old Time Wesley The only annoying debate is why you keep posting.

Not quite the "welcome back" I was hoping for.  I've been very busy with acting in a movie lately, and I haven't been posting as often as I'd like to.

Quoted from Old Time Wesley The mature and responsible thing for you to do is to become a member or delete your account and make us all happy.

I'm not a member?  And how would deleting my account make anyone happy?

*smiles and whistles*

Quoted from Old Time Wesley It is obvious to the regulars that you do not care about anything or anyone but yourself and the feeling is mutual.

It's unfortunate that you've imagined that inaccurate assumption about my character.  I like you, Wesley; I always have, and this doesn't change that.  

Quoted from Old Time Wesley You only come around when you need reads on your rewrites that shadow in comparison to the originals and in return you never do anything for those people. You send out chain letters and tell us it is our honor to read your work... I feel sorry for you.

"That shadow in comparison to the originals."  WHEN the show is produced, you will be mad at me for adjusting after the draft that you enjoyed.  I don't care.  It's my story, and the draft that you enjoyed the most, isn't the draft that I enjoy the most.  Just be happy that you read it when it was enjoyable to you.  And since I provided you with that level of enjoyment, your negative attitude is unappreciated.

Quoted from dogglebe I recall my honesty really pissing you off.  Do you remember your responses when I reviewed Banana Chan?

My spin-doctor says that I don't remember ever making those comments ... so no.

Quoted from Alan_Holman My spin-doctor says that I don't remember ever making those comments ... so no.

Well, my mailbox remembers them, which isn't hard to do since I never deleted them.

This discussion has nothing to do with the rules which is the topic of this post. Alan, if you have something to say, take it to General Chat, and for the love of God, don't reply to this thread.

Quoted from George Willson This discussion has nothing to do with the rules which is the topic of this post. Alan, if you have something to say, take it to General Chat, and for the love of God, don't reply to this thread.

Looking back at this thread -- in all fairness -- it is not just Alan "feeding the beast" here.

But George is right.  This thread is supposed to be about the rules.

It's one of the most important threads on the board, you know?

To continue this debate -- which admittedly I do find amusing -- well, that's what Don gave us General Chat for.  Or better yet, consider PMs.

This thread is on notice -- expect your off-topic posts to be deleted from this point forward.

Quoted from bert But George is right.  This thread is supposed to be about the rules.

I believe there is a rule against being abusive to others.

Yep.  Them's the ones!

Thanks for the help Don!
