LMAO! To those who are upset with Vatutin:

How is it you all are angry at Vatutin? Are you really so ignorant as to suggest that Vatutin has the power to force you to click on his Posts and Read them??? Holy crap...you guys are hilarious! Vatutin must be strong in the Force to get such a response for something so ridiculous. You don't have to read his posts or respond to them. SURPRISE!!!! You should be angry with yourselves for reading his posts.

While I think the PM you got was childish and spiteful, this is a great community filled with (for the most part) likeminded and friendly people.For someone to do this to you means you should examine your Trollish behavior. Your own actions over the last few days brought this on, not some "character flaw"'of the community.

So long as you don't go counter to the circlejerk, this community is great. If you dare to be different, then the pack quickly turns on you. It's like people on here don't know how to disagree with someone without calling them names and insulting them.

Funny because I often go against the majority and don't experience this, sure people may disagree but it's only a tiny minority that resort to that and the mods soon sort them.

Emperorpalpatine here has a history of doing this he's done it twice before, first a thread saying headhunters were rubbish when people shot him down debunking his entire argument he got very nasty, then he begged forgiveness blaming a personal tragedy for his actions.

He got banned quite rightly, then he makes a new account and did the same again.

No one's fooled this time his apologies are empty he's just looking for sympathy now but he's done this dance before and those of us around back then are not going to fall for it, he'll turn nasty again soon as per his modus operandi.

Which is why his threads have been breakfasted as all troll threads must be.

I'm just going to point out that while intentionally spoiling a movie, book, TV show, or whatever for someone is a **** move, it is not, in fact, harmful.

Breakfast? Hmmmmm....

I skipped breakfast.

.....then had pancakes for lunch.

It was clearly labeled spoiler****

I wasn't standoffish at all. I conceded that I was wrong after a few hours, dropped the topic, and apologized in all three posts made over just a few hours.

@bo: The comments were made over a period of hours not days and none of my other posts except those three warranted any mistreatment. And by the comments here, clearly this is NOT a community of friendly and nice people as you so claim as there are clearly plenty that agree with the retaliation and have questionable morals and ethics. .

------

Nothing could ever rise to this sort of retaliation. I didn't attack that guy or anything. I disagreed with a business practice. I was 11 when I saw the first movie and to have someone ruin it. Hurting someone because you disagree with someone just proves why this is not a place for me. Time to grab my surf board and hit the waves and try to forget about this whole affair. Any type of person who would think it is ok is likely also the type of person who would not stop when a women clearly says NO because she "apparently led you on" or wantever you conceive as being an ok reason to justify bent ethics and corrupt morals. Maybe it was her short skirt...or she got too drunk...or ....you get the point. Frat boy ethics--too harsh as I am sure that is a small percentage of Frat boys we hear about...making the rest look bad, but you get my point. But clearly there is a small percentage of people without ethics here. Yes hive of scum and villainy. Ethics and morals don't have all these special caveats unless the situation is war or stuff very complex. You just don't treat people who disagree with you that way. Anyone thinking like that has bankrupt morals and vices that can't be appealed to here on an Internet forum. I made the anology because I feel violated and thank god my 12 year boy won't have it spoiled for him.

Now I am not equatign the few who thought his revenge was ok to rapists. What I am saying is that those of you with these sort of bankrupt morals (vindictive nature) are just a step or two away (predisposed) from doing other crazy justifications....a little booze in you and the next thing you know you "might" be blurring that line of right and wrong a little further. Many are considered "good" people but the right circumstances and then it is those other people's fault, etc. questionable morals and ethics quickly turn to justifications for other actions. I don't know how many steps it would take some of you to get behind the wheel drunk, blame a girl for turning you on and not delivering, etc, but what I do know is that when you have this sort of questionable morals that it is ok to ruin a passion that started over 38 year ago because you don't like their ideas, it probably won't take much for some of those people with these types of ethics do accept, endorse, and justify other questionable actions. Let's just say, I wouldn't want you in my unit if a war broke out and we are about to take a defenseless city after your wife or son was killed in a bombing by the military of these civilians. I have talked to the veterans that knew ahead of time who the bad people in their units would be from the good. War, drunkeness, etc, will blur those lines very early for those who already posses a vindictive nature like clearly many of you have.

I lost all my Star Wars toys when my first wife was killed too young and my kid from my second wife would be playing with them right now if other person with questionable ethics didn't refuse me into my storage unit after being thirty days late with a payment. Even in grief, I got that payment out, but because it was either lost in the mail, or he lost it, I lost all my stuff. Despite appealing to his better angels, explaining my wife was killed from a drunk driver on Christmas Eve, he was I not phased and I had to sit there and bid on my own photos etc. Soinds to me like like a lot of people here would say the say thing, "sorry policy, is policy...read the sign dude." Well dudes, being a decent human being doesn't usually cost you much.

@dewbie: I am sorry you though I am a d-bag but I won't be coming back. To all others who where somehow offended by what I wrote, sorry to.

Mahalo and Happy Holidays to the few nice people on his forum who can disagree and still be civil. And to those how have the questionable morals and ethics...happy holidays to you...don't drink and drive and kill someone please. It's a real spoiler.

Hardly. I dislike a few people here for various reasons, but I can still interact civilly with them. I can't remembre if it's ParaGoomba or ficklegreendice that's always complaining about "Acewing," but as much as I want them to just shut up about it already I've never said so much as an unkind word about it until just now. Vatutin is blatantly a troll and being the bigger man isn't going to make him admit that. He won't respond to guilt trips or rational arguments, so I'm not going to try those.

Maybe the OP is trying to tap into the dark side. Anyone see any suspicious bolts of lightning while using the forum?

That was a significant part of my motive, yes. I allowed the hate to flow through me and gave in to my anger. My journey to the Dark Side is now complete. Still getting the hang of that Force Lightning, though. Very tricky.

Also, apologies to anyone that may have seen that spoiler as a result of Vatutin reposting it but I'll be honest. I'm not sorry I sent it to him. He's an obnoxious whiner and I have no sympathy for him.

Vatutin, don't compare this to ****. First off that's incredibly out of proportion and disrespectful to people who have actually suffered trauma like that. Secondly, don't make insist that you aren't equating me with a rapist right after you blatantly did just that (and right before you continue to act like deliberately spoiling a movie is evidence that I'm secretly the devil).

Also, if you would stop talking about leaving and actually just left the forum you wouldn't have this problem. If you're leaving, then leave. I think it's safe to say none of us will miss you.

Doesn't matter how much you disagree with Vatutin. I thought most of what he said was complete garbage, but he's every right to say it, and others have every right to discuss with him in public forum. You made it private and personal. Not cool.

Not that I expect you to care, but I've reported and ignored you because I think you crossed the line.

I think the decision for and the execution of punishment against a member must never be done by another member but a moderator of the board only.

If members take over that task it opens doors for arbitrary lynching, which is dangerous for the health of discussion culture, especially if it's done only for the reason that someone doesn't like the opinion or attitude of his discussion-partner.

(I also read his stuff. It's containing lots of words. And they usually stay behind the screen if you switch it off once in a while...!]

If we were sitting in a pub...

Anyways, that other guy was right. Where the hell are the mods, drop an ban on this Vatootie fool! You don't get to call everyone a rapist and still be allowed to post your stupid drivel.

He hasn't posted in a while...... if we stop posting here, it'll drop off the front page.

Yes he is, no it won't and no he won't. So you hit the report button and exercise adult patience until the mods ban him, you don't stoop to his level and act like a spoiled and petulant child, thus giving him more ammunition to troll the rest of us.

I have no interest in ever posting again. You have my word. I have requested my account be removed. That was even before the most recent pm of dozens...however this one was special ...saying "my wife is better off dead so she doesn't have to listen to me."

'cept that one...

and the next one to justify that one, and maybe another apology?

Still waiting for that public apology you owe us for your spiteful comments regarding **** culture.

Made a liar out of me. Thanks for that.

Yeah, the moderators have done such a great job handling it so far. Really cracked down on EmperorPalpatine 3 here.

I didn't read this thread because i haven't seen the film yet. But i didn't go to the other thread either because i was suspecting something like this to happen. How would you talk this much about a movie when you can't spoil anything.

Seems that was the right decision...

Yeah, the moderators have done such a great job handling it so far. Really cracked down on EmperorPalpatine 3 here.

It still isn't your job to do so. You can criticize him, report him in and leave it at that. Everything else goes technically beyond your jurisdiction and is simply put hubris.

Don't klick links unless you are prepared for the consequences. Everybody who has been to a certain lemon related site will tell you that...

I actually made the spoiler the subject specifically so that the only way to avoid it would be to ignore the PM completely. If you've never gotten a PM, it puts a red 1 next to that little envelope just like the one that goes by that other symbol when someone likes one of your posts. He'd have to have ignored that in order to avoid the spoiler completely. Sent you a non-spoiler PM to demonstrate.

Ah I see.

It's not nice to spoil, guys!

I am usually a nice person. But "usually" means that on some occasions, I am not.
