Yeah I seen that trainwreck of a thread.

My passion for writing is greater then my passion too debate.  So I write.    

Okay as you were...going back to ghosting.

Quoted from Heretic
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.


I'm actually agreeing with Heretic here in a small way. Its funny, because me and him/her have been into on the boards before. I think I called him/her a practicing film critic. Not a writer, or maybe that was Clorox. Either way, I think name calling should be deleted immediately. As stupid as I've been and even my fights with SR, I don't think i've ever called him an outright offensive name.

Anyone who uses retard, asshole, pedophile seems like they've lost their cool and can't think of more powerful words to get their point across. Its supposed to be a site full of writers.

Dres, that's pretty naughty, man. Allow the man his anonymity beyond the boards.

I locked it when it seemed like it was InquiringMind's script and he was just going to argue with everyone's comments.   I thought that was particularly unproductive.  I unlocked it when my mistake about the author was brought to my attention.  

Then I was going to try and keep things on topic but I got really bored with it and fell asleep.  Someone else locked it later and Don unlocked it this morning.  I'm not going to lock it again if Don unlocked it.  And I'm most certainly not going to clean that mess.   So you're on your own.  Just don't post on it an it will fall off the portal.

I've managed to clean alot of it up. I.E the flame war shit and what not. However, I'm tempted to wipe it all and literally erase every post. He's not here to listen, just to start fights with those who don't like the script. The way I look at it, his script doesn't deserve any comments because he's just going to use the good ones to inflate his ego and the bad ones he'll cast aside. Why give him any attention?

There's nothing positive that can come out of that thread.

I locked it -- and Don unlocked it this evening to the those of us not in Australia.

Everything else Cornetto said goes ditto for me.  I'm done there.  You guys should quit screwing around with it.

It isn't fair to expect us to babysit that kind of stuff then come back and bitch at us for not doing exactly what you think we ought to do.

Then I think Don should explain himself if he's not only going against the wishes of the more avid board members, but even the pretty godamm level headed mods you have working for you...

The script is not a fight picker but it is absolutely horrendous.

It wasn't unlocked. It was reposted. Varshawn had submitted another draft of his "satire". That's why I deleted everything. It's evident that he's not interested in using this community as it should be, but rather, wants to start flame wars.

Please, no one post there. It's not worth it.

It looks like the thread was just brought back to square one.   Someone (not sure who) deleted all the comments.   So everyone should be able to relax now and get back to their normal business.


EDIT:  Ah! That was who.

Yeah I figured why should he get any comments when he's only going to use the positive ones to fan his ego and his negative to spark flame wars.

It's best just send it to zero and let it disappear. No comments, no flames or flattery, you know.

I am reading this like you thought my my post was aimed at Don.  

I better clarify.  In no way or form was it.

I never second-guess the man -- and neither should anyone -- there but for the grace of Don and all that...

I am pretty sure Don unlocked it for much the same reason I did not want to lock it in the first place.

Thats sounds logical Bert. I praise you guys, and Don, for all you have to put up with here.
