It's okay if he's not interested in the genre, but the comment is sort of condescending. And how can anyone know they're idiotic unless you've seen them?


Fair enough, but I took the comment tongue-in-cheek--and WA had already set the parameters of what was acceptable, even if Jim's comment was a little off the rails.
At any rate, Jim is certainly capable of defending himself. I'm just not fond of when the goalposts are placed, and then they get moved. Otherwise, I gots no doggie in this race.

I can PROUDLY say that I've never seen ANY of these idiotic films... no interest in them whatsoever!

No one cares...and that's not what the topic's about.
I'm sorry Jim but this has to be one of the most useless posts I've seen on FSM. Somebody had a bad day and wants to whine.



?????
Did you even read your own first post?
Saying you respect what others like means that you also have to respect what others don't like.
Otherwise it's a thread with no purpose other than seeing your own words.
And remember, in your first post you invited opinions.
You can't cry foul when you get them just because they don't necessarily jibe with yours or they meander in their point a little.


His comment was completely unnecessary, obviously condescending, and useless. Why even post on this topic if you have nothing useful (or even funny) to say?

Defend your friend, I respect that. Anyone can see he was simply trolling. There isn't a soul outside this forum whom wouldn't see that as trolling.

All respect to your friendship with Jim (I still respect the man's score opinions btw). But a troll needs to be marked as such.

I get the feeling Jim himself knew what he did wasn't exactly useful, and it inspired some resentment from more than one person here. I do regret starting a topic no one cared about, I completely cop to that.

And that's it. I'm out of here; I only answered these defensive posts because I would have looked like a coward otherwise. You all know he was in the wrong...but ultimately it really isn't a big deal is it?

Flame away if you will, I have no mercy on obvious trolling. If you don't like it, tough!

Like I said, I don't really care.
But your own defensiveness is pretty funny.
Like I said, you set the parameters in your first post.
Unfortunately, not all comments will always be what you perceive to be "useful or even funny".
One should expect the odd goofy remark in a place like this.
It's full of silliness like what you are railling against.

And for what it's worth, I don't know Jim from Adam.
I would have said the same thing if it was anyone.

One needs to grow a thicker skin and just ignore the extraneous comments. If you step in it, you are just prolonging the comment that got to you. This type of comment is nothing new here and I think the moderator position is currently filled.

My theory would revolve around the question of who was ripping who off.

DC and Marvel were locked in a degree of mortal combat for a long time. One would create a character, the other would create a mimick/counterpart. Jack Kirby worked for one then the other, and I am always astounded at the parallels between the Thanos and Darkseid material.

Some fans may just be bothered by that, even if they don't entirely understand it.

Why are FSM members so toxic?
