To [info]sundayschildx, Re: Hitchcock's FRENZY
First of all, it is extremely rude to delete and disable comments only because someone disagrees with you.

Second, if you didn't want people to discuss your reaction to FRENZY and just wanted to vent, why didn't you post this in your own journal?

Finally, I didn't "attack" you. I thought your reaction to the movie's violence was a bit juvenile, and I called you on it. Doesn't make me an "asshole".

Who cares if someone disables or deletes comments. Sure it's a little annoying, but it's also annoying to bitch about it.

Because deleting comments is a chickenshit thing to do. Duh.

Why didn't you just say "I found the violence to be blah blah blah not that disturbing." I didn't find her reaction juvenile, I found it honest in that those are her personal opinions about how violence/nudity is often shoved in your face in films and has been since the 1960's, which is true, it is like that. So who cares.

Gee. Perhaps we should put a damn warning on our userinfo or something, seeing as this is the second time something like this has happened in the past few weeks. Something like "We are a very opinionated community of moviebuffs, but might not agree with your opinion. If you post your thoughts on something, there's a chance that someone might disagree with you. Depending on what you say, you might even make them angry. If you're not up for debate, post your opinions to your private journal."

It may seem common sense to some people, but apparently it's not to everyone. That way, when someone gets upset, at least we can say that they were warned when they joined the community and we won't have posts like this.

Not to mention we can keep the discussion to movies. :)

There either needs to be some moderators on this blog or specific rules in the userinfo prohibiting the disabling of comments and/or direct attacks.

It's turning into a kind of weekly thing, and posts have a tendency to just disappear randomly when conversation gets a little heated.

We're all friends here, we all share the common interest, and we're all allowed to speak our minds. It goes without saying that direct attacks are unacceptable, just imagine if someone came up to you on the street and called you an idiot for liking a certain type of movie. It wouldn't make you feel good.

Dialogue is great, controversy is great, it's all entertaining and insightful and hey, we might just learn a thing or two. But, repliers and posters alike need to quit with the direct attackers, as it is childish and not what a community of this magnitude and readership should come to represent.

Also moderators would be a good idea so that if a post does need to be deleted because it is so far off topic that the scope or point of a particular scene or movie is totally lost.

What the fuck are you on about? Clearly you are living in your own little world, where Hitchcock makes you cry and males are never ever sexually abused and could never possibly understand the daily hassles a woman has to go through to keep from getting raped. (Yes, because men cannot be raped. Males can't be sexually abused and in fact never are. It's only females. And what rock do you live under where you've never even heard a male refer to himself as a queen?)

Oh and apparently I'm a twink (do you even know what that means?) who only watches college films like Fight Club and Donnie Darko. Yeah, whatever. You can go on assuming whatever you like because I don't have to justify my taste in movies to you--you probably haven't heard of most of them.

Am I the only one who detects the irony in her calling me a lonely, pathetic fuck with no life who sits all day at the computer? She obviously doesn't have much of a life either if she felt the need to type such a rambling, barely coherent response full of anger and assumptions.

P.S. - Learn how to use the Enter key. It won't rape you if you touch it.
