I'm in agreement with this. He and I had a difference of opinion (doubleohdad that is) but at no time was he rude to me or insulting. He took a lot of flak on here, and did not express himself well at times. However, he did engage in decent discussions.
Come to think of it, the most intelligent debate I had with someone over the merits of SF and LTK was with Matthelm a while back.
They were both a far cry from dream sequences.
I think the problem was that he kept derailing threads that had nothing to do with Moore with his usual, repetitive criticism, and ignored concrete orders to stop doing so. Although he never bothered me personally, I think in the end he had it coming.
I get that @jobo. I just wonder why we have long term members taking it upon themselves to gang up publicly on another member when he/she is doing wrong. Flag it and let the mods handle it (and preferably they handle it privately with the offending party rather than embarrasing them on the forum).
It just looked like poor doubleoh was being ganged up on - as I said I don't take anyting on this forum personally. We're just discussing movies for pete's sake, and they all have their weak points, as well as their strong points at the end of the day. I like to hear different points of view, even if I disagree with them. If I can't counter it properly, that's my problem and maybe I have to present a better argument or objectively open my eyes and revisit my point of view.
I get the point about thread derailment though. That is fair. I just think it's better handled privately by the mods.
I agree on all of this. Then flag it and let the moderators deal with it privately. Dragging him (or any poor future member who may get on the wrong side of the IT crowd) through the mud and lecturing him did not help matters.
PS: He did talk a lot about things other than Moore.
He did. In that regard he was not trolling.
He had a right to dislike Moore. He should have been more careful on which thread he expressed that and should have moderated the number of times he went on about it. He should have listened to the mod's warnings. On these fronts, he was wrong.
As I said, have a problem, flag it. That's what the mods have been saying over and over again.
I saw a lot of public beratement of doubleoh. Save your energy and flag it next time. Let the mods do their job. I'm not in favour of back seat drivers.
No, that wasn't the reason why he got banned, but I think we can safely say it had something to do with the heated reception he got.
Our members have, in the past, asked for swift action. Even now some folks felt we took too much time to give the guy a chance. But we really do, you know, we really give folks chances, many of them at that. But we can't keep tolerating madness. And frankly, the Roger-Moore-is-to-blame-for-everything tune, sung in many threads, even the ones that don't care, got fairly maniacal after a while, like a religious mission of sorts.
Please put down your repetitious triple posting Moore nonsense. You have 5 days to comply.
A kinder, gentler ED209....
You now have 15 seconds to comply.
You are in direct violation of Penal Code 0.07, Section 7.
You have 5 seconds to comply.
Four... three... two... one... I am now authorized to use physical force!
Keep ignoring, ignoring, ignoring
Though they're disrupting
Keeps them trolls a moving, RawMods
Don't try to understand them
Just warn, delete and ban them
Soon we'll be posting happy and free
Boy my heads a calculating
Our posts won't need modification
Be posting free at the end of the day.
Move them on, head them up
Head them up, move them on
Move them on, head them up, RawMods
Kick them out, ban them hard
Ban them hard, kick them out
Kick them out, ban them hard RawMods
It is frustrating to have negative criticism constantly on show, because it tends to drive the fans of one or other of the films underground, not daring to proclaim any love in case they are ridiculed.
However, any negativity you encounter doesn't mean that the author is not a Bond fan. It may simply be that they care too much and a bad Bond films makes them angry enough to...erm...vent their spleen?
