227. Kev McGann pontificating like a barstool philosopher after multiple pints in "The Typical FSMer...Ruminating Over Lost Love":
"I don't know what an FSMer is.
It's just a site we visit to check out soundtrack news and opinions.
I doubt any two FSMers are truly alike.
Sure, some of us will share certain similarities (married, kids, loners, basement dwellers, Goldsmith fans) and friendships are struck that go beyond the site, but when you (Jim) imagine groups or clans of Trek or Star Wars or GOT or Marvel/comic bookers sitting off, in their respective camps, planning raids and attacks on rival factions and suffering heavy losses... 
Also, some people are private minded and prefer to keep their personal lives somewhat shrouded (I know, hard to believe in this manufactured FakeBook world).
I tend to say little cos my life is pretty boring and humdrum (go to work, sit on the couch watching telly with the missus, go on holidays, look after the Gkids, eat out with friends, play footie - still, as I fast approach 54).
It's hard for me to see it beyond the random."

229. solium's evolutionary process in "Stupid Questions--No Answer Required", May 2019:
"I never understood the "take a stand against Walmart" thing over any other mega corporation. Unless you take a stand against Disney, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, retail store chain, restaurant chain, hotel chain, service company, gas company, every war profiteering corp, all of Hollywood, etc, taking a stand against Walmart shouldn't make you sleep any better at night."
https://mail.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=39322&forumID=7&archive=0&pageID=32&r=516#bottom
solium, from the "Amazon Rage!" thread January 2017:
"I have a total ban on Amazon. Shipping rates ruin good deals. Not going to be forced into becoming a paying member for free shipping. I was a loyal customer for 15 years. They can go "F**k" themselves."

Yeah, but that's a ban for selfish reasons, not a faux I'm improving peoples lives ban.
How do you dig this stuff up?!

232. Thor finally understanding and using humor in "Star Wars, Tarantino, Top Gun, Ferrari" in which he and ado debate something about that Opie Han Solo film and one's opinions:
"First of all, is it a 'wild claim'? As mentioned, the film has received 'mixed positive' reviews. That someone rates it a fair bit higher than that is not that 'wild', is it? Second, I have no problem being 'pulled on it' if someone could phrase the disagreement in a constructive fashion, as in 'I disagree with that. I rather think it is..." or "I disagree with that. Why do you think so?", or a more tongue-in-cheek disagreement, instead of "Shut up! You're WRONG! You're a troll" or whatever venom Ado spouted out here. Third, I did elaborate a bit on why I rated it that high.
"But I've learnt my lesson, no worries. Next time I'm enthusiastic about a film, so much so that I rate it among the year's best, I'll make sure to first consult Ado, solium and Bill in case the opinion is wrong. Then I'll consult the general reviews. If it's anything less than 'mixed positive' overall, I will not be allowed to use adjectives such as 'great' or 'superb'. We must conform.
Yours sincerely,
The Borg"

Phelpsie continues to shine is his pointed dissection of Thor and his ' Nordic sense of' f humor!
It's like watching a brilliant brain surgeon do his thing.
