I did my best to mod out extraneous and pointless post in that thread. So it's not a failure on my part.  I say we just ignore him for now. Let the thread die down. Essentially, it's use and him who are promoting and keeping it going. Let's boost up other threads and focus on doing that.

Quoted from bert
I still contend "the lock" is not fair when everybody is gathered around the author constantly poking him with pointy sticks -- and that is exactly what is going on here.


Are you saying that you don't want to lock the thread because you want us to make fun of him?  Nothing good will come of the thread... and this guy is too stupid to be insulted.

Actually, that's not what's going on here. We're joking now knowing the futility our any earnest endeavors, however, before hand I did make several efforts to maintain and offer constructive advice.

Ha...imagine such a thing.  Yes, I think you might be right.

And yeah, the thread will be locked eventually anyways...as it must be...I was just kind of trying to make a point before the hammer goes down...pissing in the wind, so to speak.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Damn.  1500 views in a little over a day.  After the thread gets locked, everybody's invited to continue the discussion at the threads for any of my scripts.  (I know people won't be there for my story, but I'm pretty good at fooling myself and the views and high number of posts'll boost my confidence anyway.)

OK, agreed.  I'm done there.  It is entertaining though...

Part of the reason that thread is not locked yet is that I do not like feeling as if I am being bullied into taking action I do not necessarily agree with.

Close thread-watchers will recognize a few posters "stepping up" the level of offensiveness -- so that I have no choice but to lock it.

That upsets me a bit, when they could have so easily just left well enough alone.

It was entertaining but there's no point wasting time on there anymore. I did find his flawed word association mildly amusing and easily debunkable.

I think that calling someone a pedophile is the pinnacle of offensiveness.  But guess what?  The thread continued!

Pardon me for not poring over every word of his senseless drivel and perhaps missing something.

For the most part, I was more interested in what fresh provocations other members that in theory should know better might be foisting upon his ridiculous thread to help keep it alive.

Keeping it up and now locked, that baseless accusation as well as horrendous grammar is there to stick and it's for him to own. Now one is going to take him serious with post like that, and I doubt he'll be around much longer if that's how he goes about on these boards. He looks like an ass, Phil looks justified in his retaliation. That's a pretty good way to end it.

Without wishing to take sides against my good friends on SS...I'm with Bert.

What business do talented 40 year + writers have arguing like kids in the schooldyard?

This crap happens too often.

Yes, it did.  Specifically, it continued with this:


Quoted from dogglebe

Quiet Jeff.  The retard will think you're serious.


Quoted from dogglebe

You're too F**king stupid to be in the Illuminati... or the Special Olympics.


And then, with this...


Quoted from dogglebe
The mods are failing big time, here.


Assuming you mean "failing" in the context of maintaining the civility of the thread and keeping it on topic, I think you, Phil, in this specific case, and many other regulars, in past cases, are much more to blame than the mods, and just as much to blame as Varshawn or whatever his name is.  This behaviour makes us all, and the site in general, look bad to filmmakers and potential discussion board members alike, and I don't understand why it has to be like this so consistently.
