It probably does need more explaining, however looking at that list of 56 profiles, it'll never get done the CLT way.  Most of them are small region profiles that are lucky to even get cast lists, let alone updates.  Like I said earlier, it's the type of change I don't hestitate to make locally, but we're screwed for the online as the rules currently stand.

Skip did not mention your name lyonsden5.  You did assume and Skip is correct on all fronts.  The CLT has NOTHING to do with uncredited entries.

Actually my name is mentioned many times in the contribution notes. I assumed nothing. Incorrect statement on your part.

Whether or not your name is mentioned in contribution notes is irrelevant to the discussion. Skip not only didn't mention any names in the OP he didn't cite any specific profiles either. You had to go out of your way to find something that anyone besides yourself would know meant Skip might be insulting you.

Names were used in the contribution notes of the profile in question.  Since the original post refers to that contribution, it isn't a huge leap to believe that he is talking about Rick and the other user mentioned in those notes.

Did Skip edit out the name of a specific profile?  There's nothing in the OP now that has it -- The OP was posted at 1:25 today and edited last at 1:46.  So if he redacted any specific titles from the OP, my previous comment to Rick isn't valid.

So many years ago in fact, that it is easy to see that despite some recent additions to another source (recent meaning sometimes within at least the last four years, while the Profile is almost NINE years old) that the data wsa cloned and from where.

No Rick, you didn't vote the data, if you had it would have been YES because there is NO logical rationale for otherwise.

You are correct, he did not mention specifics but, since he mentions Rick in the contributions notes...withdrawn and resubmitted several times...and gives an example of the change, it was quite easy for Rick to know who Skip was referring to...looking at the contribution notes, I found it quite easy to figure out.

Could Rick have ignored the post?  Sure, but he shouldn't have to.

One more time, just to be clear. You are defending the Skip, who insulted me, because I was the only one who knew he was talking to me. So as long as nobody else knows who is being insulted it is OK to fire away according to you.

With that type of attitude there is absolutely no hope of this place ever changing.

It's OK. I'll go back to forum blocks and lurking. It absolutely amazes me that I am called an idiot yet there are some here who seem to think it is OK because THEY didn't know Skip was talking to me.

For the record, little Ken. I redact nothing, usually when I edit post I am adding some comment or other. The OP had no changes made to body.

Rick:

Let me ask you a question. Do you have ANY idea how many times you have insulted me, I will wager you don't because I generally don't comment on them, but I would guesstimate probably a good 75% of your posts insult me in some form or other. You walk in your shoes just fine but you don't give a crap about anyone else's.

I find you to a nasty person, mean spirited, universally argumentative and combative and all that said I will still call you FRIEND.   I must be out of my mind.

Yes, it's a pattern and happens regularly. If the forum calms down someone (not always Skip) feels a stone must be thrown to mash things up a bit.

This thread is sad and should be locked as soon as possible.

Yes I agree this thread is sad, Achim. But for different reasons,  I think it pathetic that well-known users will deliberately vote yes to a set of images that do not match the Profile, IF they didn't do it deliberately then it is even worse because it indicates that they cast a vote and walk away. Do you have any idea how many times I check titles on which I have voted Yes or No to see if someone found something I missed. I find pathetic attempts to maintain status quo of (uncredited) data which should be modified to break the connection. I am not bragging but I suspect i am the most conscientious user Profiler has, I do things the right way, I don't claim to follow something, I do it in actions and deed, I will make corrections which far more than many users will do, but all that's another story entirely.

This thread was stared deliberately anonymously in all respects, a user decided that he had personally maligned, that is simply NOT true, though he has thrown out a number of insulting remarks in this thread, something that is all too sadly normal. People here have a very thin skin and cannot take criticism of actions that have been taken, I am sorry Achim, you quote one of our more insulting members. I have come to many conclusions based on the behaviors exhibited in these forums and ...well I won't go there, I will keep that to myself, God forbid someone else should get his widdle nose tweaked.

A thread entitled "Some Users Are Idiots" was started by Skip. Whoo, big surprise.

Actually, it's perfectly possible to have a civilized and decent conversation with the man, as long as you agree 100% with his opinion. If not, then it's your own fault for being an idiot and corrupting the online database.

Best thing to do is just ignore him, people. Honestly. If the entire community would forum & PM block him, he can then throw stones all by himself. This thread was actually fun to read since I didn't see Skip's messages
