Quoted from Andrew ...I don't collude with him in an Allen/Newcomer clique, I can't say for sure...

Ha...I totally missed this.

Like many of the old-timers, I only check this thread periodically.

As has been stated, many of us have heard this all before -- so we just work around what is a thread essentially singing the same old gospel to the faithful.

But as has also been stated, there are always new guys and gals that feel compelled to add their own voice to the conversation -- most often inviting harsh but thoughtful criticism of their own work -- either overt or implied -- hence the continued life on this thread, which is fine, really.

So there you go.

For the record, I am my own clique.  A clique of one.  So you may not join.

I started giggling at what Kev wrote... until I looked at it again and saw that he actually wrote the word clique.

I'm immature.  I know.

Quoted from Andrew You seem to be one of those blokes that can dish it out but not take it.

Cheers to Babz!  

Not sure who's being hypersensitive. These threads are really just a diversion for me while I take a break from work. I was irked by someone suggesting the discussion had run it's course. Sounded to me like the usual choir saying "shut up, we've heard it all before".

So choir, back to work, or whatever.

I don't think it's wrong to bring the topic up every now and then, but when the "discussion" starts to just go around and around...

Then eventually someone says something that irritates someone else and then we have arguments and some people start cussing in every sentence.

We even had a poll about critiques/reviewing styles.

I think we pretty much all can agree that constructive criticism does not involve personal insults. That was all.

I still blame the French.

No in the history of film cast better insults than the French K-nigget in Holy Grail.
