Helene2,
So nice to see you move your vendetta against me to another thread. And to continue your misrepresentations about what I have or haven't done.
I will reiterate what I've said to you before:
Your accusations against me have little to no basis in fact. Read the threads.
I've responded to only a handful of posts disparaging "The Addams Family" and almost exclusively without resorting to name-calling (except, admittedly, in your case and perhaps once or twice with Pgenre where I joined the chorus of others doing so).
My so-called "attacks" consist of the following:
I took issue with Pgenre some months ago (as did many others) because he hadn't seen the show and yet was vicious in his criticism of it and his mocking of anyone who didn't agree with him.
I recently took issue with MiracleElixir, not with his loathing of "Addams", but only when he assigned motivation to the people who created the show, which I found unwarranted and offensive.
I responded to "Mike3" with my own thoughts on the show, because they happened to be particular contrary to a number of his specific criticisms.
I took issue with Blaxx because she hasn't actually seen the show -- and still, after a bit of back and forth, we concluded our debate peacefully.
As for you, I originally took issue not with your opinion of the quality of "The Addams Family" but with your ranting about feeling cheated for seeing what you felt was an awful show that was still in development and for your representations about the show's ticket sales in Chicago which were unsupported and easily disproven.
Along the way, I've posted in a variety of other threads, often providing information which, by other posters' affirmations, has proven very useful to them.
You, on other hand, have posted a whopping 11 times. You joined the board on 1/9/10 and proceeded to post your original rant which received a number of negative replies (none from me, I would note). You then followed that up with a second post responding to the criticism. My first written word to you was on 1/12/10 and it was sympathetic to your feelings but took issue on two points. You replied in an attempt to dismiss one of my arguments and I replied in kind with facts to make my case.
I believe that was the sum total of our correspondence until you decided to use three of your remaining eight posts to initiate a crusade against me as a persecutor of anyone who thinks ill of "The Addams Family". And your insistence on doing so has brought out the name-caller in me. Again, not for any opinion you hold about the show, but solely for your persistence in painting me as something I am not and for inventing facts to justify your actions.
Quite simply, if you're not prepared to have people disagree with you, politely or otherwise, then I would suggest not posting. That's not intimidation or an attack on you -- that's simply a helpful piece of advice. But if you ARE going to post, be prepared to hear from those who agree AND disagree with you. And if you're going to call someone an "intimidator" and "attacker" and "disrespector" without justification for doing so (and especially when you are guilty of the latter two offenses yourself), you can expect a bit of name-calling right back at you as well.
