re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

You want him banned because he merely posed a difficult question against your beloved show??

You need to grow the @$#* up, Princess Mimichica!!

Thanks for asking Sally! I am always missing the good stuff.

But really, not even so much that he said something negative about RENT. It's that it's obvious he's trying to create a point that's thin and kind of silly just to rile people up. If you read what he said, his argument made little sense, IMO.

Awwwww. Whatever happened to Princess "Who is Vanessa Redgrave?" Mimichica?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Agreed, but being a dolt isn't the same as being a troll.

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Everyone, just let his thread die and stop arguing, it's useless. He's got identical threads on the IMDb and CB boards, plus has apparently started a number of similar ones. People on those boards simply end up fighting with each other, like is starting to happen here. Here's what some people wrote on IMDb:

"I looked at some of arthurs past posts, and on the brokeback mountain board he complains about the movie being tagged as a gay cowboy movie. He says it pigeonholes the movie."

(responding to past art complaints)
"lets clear something up:
1) HITCH is not a homophobic movie
2) DUKES OF HAZZARD sporting women in bikinis but not men in speedos does not mean it is a homophobic movie.
3) the today show DOES let homosexual couples enter the marriage contest. you were just basing your hate on assumption
4) Showing a naked female in a movie but no male nude figure does not mean that the filmmakers are homophobic. it means they are concerned about movie ratings, or simply being realistic.
5) BASIC INSTINCT 2 is not going to be a homophobic movie if it doesnt have a gay male sex scene. it will just have a plot."

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Personally, I tried to submit Art2's thread to fandom_wank. I'm waiting to see if anyone will pick it up and post it.

But I'm a jerk like that, soooo... Yeah. He's just trying to cause problems. It's ridiculous.

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

JRB, I don't know who Princess mimichica is, but I DO know who Vanessa Redgrave is, and I don't know what any of that has to do with Art2. I don't want him banned because he doesn't like RENT, I'm upset because he made a thin, unsupported argument that demeans something that means a lot to me, and he is nothing but a broken record. That's all. I dIdn't realize people actually agreed with that trolls rantings, but, to each his own. I guess I made this thread for nothing :shrug:::

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Furthermore, regardless of how much or at all we agree with art, your request is childish.

And you may not agree with his opinion, but he has every right to express it.

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

LOL well I don't know what a doppelager is, but fine, my request was wrong. Art2 can continue to make the same unsubstantiated rant all he wants and i'll just have him on block re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2 Now can we be friends, JRB?

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Suggestion: Just ignore the person and block them from your PM if they are bothering you privately.

There are lots of people on internet boards that don't know when to quit on a topic or that are looking for attention by refusing to give up until you agree with them. I had one such fellow recently send me a PM several times to try to reinforce the point he had already made on the thread, in an effort to change my mind. I pointed out that we were both entitled to our opinions and eventually he went away.

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Granted, that is a pretty outrageous thread he started.

I don't know much about the situation, but if this guy really did make the thread just to cause people to fume up, then we don't really need him on the boards, yes?

But I haven't read the thread entirely so I'm only judging by the first post really..

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

What this poerson is doing is pretty mild on the scale of trollishness. And if RodneyK managed to last here for months, I really don't see why art2 should be banned. Pity the poor soul; (s)he seems to have the world's worst case of tunnel vision and an axe that won't be sharp no matter how much (s)he grinds it.

re: Mods: PLEASE ban Art2

Just walk away folks...

Nothing to see here.
