  I doubt, very seriously, that Ken intended to prevent the entry of credits we have been entering for years...OCB and OMB.


You doubt that Ken intended to write what he wrote when you don't like the concerned rule. When other users don't like another rule, you are the first to explain them that rules must not be interpreted.

I hardly can understand your logic  , ... or  more precisely, I understand it very well... 

We would avoid those endless discussions if you did what you say others must do : apply rules as they are written, until Ken changes them (you are allowed to ask for changes, and others are allowed to say what they think of your request).

This isn't the first time that this issue has come up.  I wonder why it is you didn't jump into any of those discussions and chastise all the other users that have the same opinion I do?  That was a rhetorical question as I already know the answer, and it is starting to look really pathetic. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Once again, you just see your point of view, and cannot admit others' opinions. About other users that have the same opinion than you, they generally do not give lessons about following the rules as you always do. You give the lessons, but do not apply them...

Again, we asked for this credit so that we could give people like Stan Winston proper credit.  As his website indicates, he is not a special effects person...he is character, creature and monster creator.  JMHO.

Not exactly, according to this website and the history timeline he worked on make-up effects, creature design and visual effects. And if you slide the bar to 1984 it says he created the effects, not the terminator.

As I said previously, in one of the featurettes on the DVD, Winston talks about creating full sized puppets of the Terminator...it seems that the website just lists the credit as that is how he is credited in the film.


If Winston just did the models/puppets for function on screen, that doesn't ness. mean he designed the Termintor. It very well could have been someone else giving him the drawings, and him making it 3-d, in which case I'd say the design credit would go to whoever did the drawings. If Winston just scuplted the Terminator out of a blank piece of clay and his imagination, or his own drawings, then he deserves the credit.
I honestly can't recall which happened, but would think that citing features on the dvd would be good enough proof, as long as it's clearly pointed out either way.
