You're correct here, it's a matter of personal judgement. The rest should have been a matter of the validating process.
Definitely no need for a thread.

53 voter agree with my no vote, 4 voters agree with your submission. How can you (or anyone) look at those numbers and say I am trying to manipulate the online to match MY preferences?!?

Those of you out there who continuously buy into the "james and rick (and others) are against me, all I want is what's best for everyone" crap really should open your eyes.

The truth usually is.

FWIW my "focus" as you put it is enjoying the addictive hobby of collecting DVDs, nothing more. That's how I found this place, as did most everyone else I would guess.

You write nothing but insults and then preface it with "with all due respect" and you're "trying not to be insulting but you call it like you see it"? Basically you are saying if only I wasn't so stupid you wouldn't have to insult me?!?   

I have never claimed to be the smartest person in the world although I do consider myself above average. I have never had the need to belittle someone I thought wasn't as smart as I am as you continuously do. It's actually quite pathetic if you ask me. Those who truly are smarter and better than others typically don't have to profess it as it is usually obvious to anyone else involved. 

I have tried contributing, I don't like it. I find it monotonous, boring and not fun. Fortunately for me I also don't have to do it. It is not a requirement of the program. There are many who find it enjoyable. That doesn't make them better then me (or others who like me don't contribute profiles). If everyone stopped contributing then I would have to do the work myself or more likely move on to another software. For me it's about collecting and displaying my DVDs. Most of the information in the program I don't need or use.

I tried blocking you... have you ever tried to read a forum where one out of every four posts in the entire forum is blocked?!? And of those readable posts about half of them are "debating" with you. With the exception of the 'what have you bought', 'lolcats & dogs', and the joke thread the forum is unreadable.

I've tried avoiding the forum completely. Unfortunately I also began to loose contact with a very good friend of mine who's passion is movies and DVDs. I enjoy being to share our combined hobby even though I'm don't quite share his passion and, since he is here daily, so am I.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I guess it's back to reading every other post and looking at pictures of cats and dogs. It really sucks how one bully can run so free and ruin things for so many.

And, once and for all, I am NOT your "amigo". The day you attacked my wife and her illness here in these forums was the last day there was ever a chance of being "amigos" 


To any new people reading this dribble, get used to it. the Jubal vs. Somebody arguments are a daily occurrence around here. The "somebody"  changes frequently but the Jubal part is consistently on the other end of it.

If only more of us were as smart as he was maybe then all would be good again. Maybe then we could see how 53 - 4 is a vote for a personal preference.

Since I was one of the voters supporting your "No"-vote, I think this question is allowed:
What exactly was the purpose of this thread??
Originally I understood it as a question you had concerning a planned contribution of yours (just like many other users do if they are not sure what to do).
Soon I learned that it was the usual "Hey look, Skip's got something wrong ... AGAIN"-thread.

And if you're trying to deny your personal vendetta on Skip: Just check your postings on this forum, you'll have to go a long way back to find something that's not a direct (or barely hidden) attack on Skip (or one of his assumed supporters), I think I found something on page three.

Mind you: I'm not saying that you started it, because I don't know who started it and I really couldn't care less.
But [put in non-insulting deity here]-dammit, one of you should be man enough to stop this bickering.

We all are making this forum a barely bearable place, but there are four or five users here who really got a bit over the top.
At least I cannot stand this advanced kindergarden any longer and hereby announce that my red arrow moratorium has ended. Direct attacks no matter from whom on whom will now be followed by a red arrow and if enough users do so too, we'll probably clean this out.

As I said, originally I thought that this was a question concerning a planned contribution of Rick, because he might have been unsure how to handle this special problem.
While I think that this is exactly what the forum is for, I don't think that it's existing to pillory the possible faults of a single user.
This is what we have the evaluation process with it's ability to vote "No" for. If you disagree with a contribution vote "No", if you need more space to explain your "No"-vote send the contributor a PM.

Based on the first post, I assumed it was a voting question...turns out I was correct.  I had no idea this was a contribution from Skip.  In fact, there is no way anybody could have known...other than the people who own it...that it was a contribution from Skip.

Are there vendettas going on here?  Possibly, but if there are, they go both ways.  If you hammer one side, you have to hammer both.  Speaking for myself, I have decided to ignore all the personal crap and stick to the issues. 

Unicus:

I stayed out of it because I considered it a an utterly useless manipulation, but the I saw people start making comments like "We can probably guess who this is", so it wasn't quite a blind as you thought.

I have nothing against any user, despite what you might think, as I have said before I have neither the time, the enrgy or the desire to carry one. I feel sorry for those users that just feel they have to follow someone around and snipe at them, they must be very miserable people to carry around suh hatred for so long, and it is hatred. The only thing that I can feel, for any of these people is pitty for what must be truly a miserable existence and the instant of anger I feel when the assault me or someone else, fortunately for me I can let that go very quickly, so hatred will never be able to concume me the way I see it doing in some. You have my pity, but I willnot excuse the behavior.

The forum is the appropriate place for this type of question and poll. I often have questions and would hope that no one takes them personal.
