Quoted from SteveDiablo
I don't like sucking up to people...I joined long after Dustin but one of the reasons I joined was because he didn't take any shit from anyone when he first joined.


Surely you see what you've done there?

You accuse others of sycophantism, while you appear to do much the same in a single breath.

And that is why we should not run around tossing about blanket generalizations.

Dustin's response is golden.  Bravo, sir.  So am I sucking up to him now?  Who even cares?

I find this conversation a little silly, at best...if not a little self-serving.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Well, this thread certainly got off topic fast.  The Master-Sub thing is just - well, weird. I don't even began to understand the point.

On the bright side -  I no longer feel pissy.

It sure did. I was going to ask what one thing had to do with the other.
On ya, Dave!

If anyone wants to be popular here, just read a lot of other member's scripts and give helpful reviews.


Having a desire to be popular on an internet forum, is something I find to be... just sad

It was in response to someone saying SS was too cliquey. I did not say people should try to be popular on a forum...

I think if we swapped the word 'popular' for 'accepted' that strikes the right tone for me.

We all have good and bad days. Some scripts work, others bomb. Hey ho. We've all been there. Never  a nice feeling when a script doesn't work out.

But if we keep going, reading, reviewing, learning from others feedback - not blindly I would caveat - then just maybe we can improve. I know I have, and many others have likewise.

I rememeber joining around the same time as Dena, Pale Yellow. We both stumbled, but didn't give up. I dont know how many decent scripts she has had now had produced, but it's impressive.

Nothing's perfect, but we were never offered perfect when we all rolled up here. A tad like life really - some good, some bad some @&&@&!! days.

I think you are taking what I said out of context, you didn't include my entire sentence for a start.

I was inspired by someone breaking a clique that had existed. I felt that was awesome. Here is a chance for this forum or website or whatever you wannacallit, to be available again to writers who just want their voices heard ( or read).

I'm possibly a sycophantismistic person (had to look that word up,) but my point was responding to the with the PISSY post that began. "I'm fed up with people not responding to my posts..."
Man, get a life.

Yes, I kinda switched the direction of the topic, but I don't feel I said anything bad or that no one else has said elsewhere.
The MASTERS/ SUBS thing... I think it is a funny way of looking at it, but it is true.

Didn't say you did. You just merely pointed out the possibility of someone having a desire, which I found sad.

I read features on here all the time where the writer is nowhere to be found.  Sometimes I leave comments, sometimes I don't.  I can recall a time or two where the writer eventually made an appearance.  It never bothered me.  I like to read.  Each script you read, you learn something from it or even a bunch of things from it.  Speaking of which, if anyone has something they want me to take a look at, you can shoot me a PM.

Okay - here is the definition of bad form.  You start by saying that you think he took you out of context and then you go on to actually "quote" something out of context (actually you didn't quote it correctly at all).

I did not write:

"I'm fed up with people not responding to my posts..."

What I actually wrote was:

.... I already have a pet peeve. In far too many instances I'll see a thread where a writer posts their work - gets some comments and never comments back (e.g., thanks. or - I disagree because, etc.)....."

The pissy reference was my comment that I just might be feeling pissy today (i.e., due to nicotine withdrawal).

Anyway - thought I needed to clarify that.

In terms of "getting a life" - thank you very much for the concern - but I have quite a happy one. Not sure why this issue got your goat so much - (unless you are trying to quit smoking too in which case we are just kindred spirits). I was merely chatting about my preferences for the site.

Each script you read, you learn something from it...  


For me that's often the same thing over and over again... namely, that I should never have bothered opening it in the first place.

I gave up smoking cigarettes/tobacco 5 years ago. It was hard, but one of the best decisions I ever made. I used those patches for a month to break the psychological habit, then once I knew I was done and at worst would only go back to wearing the patches, I took the patches off and went through the physical withdrawal that lasted three days, and it was almost painful. Three horrible days... but during those days, I knew I would only go back to the patches anyway, and what's the point in wearing them?

Anyway, once the three days were up I was mostly fine again. I still had to resist but it was a lot easier.

Been using the gum - decreasing each day. Been smoking for 35 years so it is pretty ingrained into everything I do - I've been pretty much a prick to every one I know for the last week or so - but - at least I smell better

Pissy, and a prick. Now there's a combo.

In all seriousness, hang in there Dave.

And a great script title (it would be a bad cop - worse cop story)

Much thanks Libby -
