Innsomnia. It's 3 o'clock at night  and I have nothing else to do at the moment.

Ever since christmas vacation i've been going to be at 3 o'clock in the day and getting up at 8 o'clock at night. At least I'm not late for school anymore, huh? :P

You guys don't mind do you? Haven't posted anything stupid!... I think.

Post quality.  Not quantity.  Review scripts instead of every movie you ever saw.

Hey, Daniel, I started to watch movies when I was 3 years old becuase my dear father was a cinema (theather) manager. I envied my old brother because he had born inside a cinema.

So I don't know how many movies I watched in all my f**k life! Which director I love?...Hummm Maybe Akira Kurosawa, Sergei Eisenstein, Vittorio Di Sica, Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Wood Allen, Fernando Meireles and Quentin Taratino...Oh, Wim Wenders. There are more directors but my prefered were they.

Because what you said wasn't right.

Ol' Daniel did need to stop posting like a runaway train -- what was it -- 30+ posts in, like, two hours?

He seems to have stopped.  All is well.  It was nothing personal.

Am I to understand that if something I say is against an opinion of another, it will get deleted?  That doesn't make any sense. Please explain how this is right. As far as I remember, my post wasn't breaking any rules. It was my opinion. Why delete it?

Well, it does feel personal. Why not just post what you posted in response to my quote? Why censor me? I don't understand. It didn't seem like a big deal, not until now. I understand that this guy was posting a lot, more than I was aware of. However, he was breaking the rules. Not me. Deleting my post was wrong.

Oh, for pete’s sake, DDP -- how could it be personal?

I don’t remember exactly what you wrote, but I do recall that it was a single sentence that I interpreted as egging him on.

I deleted it as I feared he would interpret your post as tacit approval, regardless of anything I said in response.

Moderating is an imperfect science, DDP.  If you are really, really upset about it, and really, really feel censored, then I apologize and will hope that is enough to bring this matter to a close.

I don’t like people to feel censored and hope you understand my logic even if you choose not to agree with it.

Censorship is a matter for a dictatorial situation, so I don't believe that Bert is a type of guy that submits himself to this role!

Apology accepted and I will also apologize if I took this too personally and made this into a big deal, which was not my intention at all.

Look, I'm a new member so I guess looking back on this whole thing, I can see how my post could have set off a mod's alarm. However, I was not trying to egg anyone on. With that said, I do understand that there are people out there who like to create chaos in forums just for the sake of boredom. I do understand that moderators are instructed to act on these attempts immediately. So, maybe it wasn't the best decision to make, but I understand that it was made to avoid further upsets, which is fine with me.
