I'm not a deep thinker like you, Sim.

By anyone's standards. You wrote an essay. Lol.
Not really. I can knock out a response like that in a matter of minutes.
And TCCPhreak wrote at just as much length yet escaped your
lols/my favourite line jibe/far too much thought
snipes, all of which came accross to me as just a tad patronizing and seemed more preoccupied with the character of my writing than the subject in debate.
Amateur critiquing. That's what I do. Certainly not pointless.
Utterly pointless in this instance because you added nothing to discussion, addressed none of the points TCCPhreak raised but merely made flippant remarks about the manner and style of my response - a response that was directly engaging the many points raised in his initial post.
You're starting to be pompous again. That's not a side of you I like, Sim.
There are several sides of you I might not like either. Perhaps you would do better to actually engage the subject when you insist on responding to me rather than make witless digs at the nature of my response.
Try that and we might get along fine.

"Witless digs", "utterly pointless", "added nothing". Keep them coming, you bully. Seems to me you're jealous that I called you out on your long winded response, which wasn't bad, by the way, but let Tcc or whatever his name is, slide with an equally long winded post. You keep mentioning that guy."Why didn't you say anything to him, about his long post, Cj?" What difference does it make?

So let me get this straight. You come across a post, ask Simest to respond to it, throw the first stone by making a snide remark about his post, he defends himself, and
he's
the bully in all this?
What difference does it make?
Well the fact that you asked Simest to "handle" this for you is the difference. I agree with him, as it looks like you baited him into this just so you could come back with some sort of remark about what he has to say about it like you always do. It's either, "You put way too much thought into it" or "You have an answer for everything."
Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years. -

I can do if you continue producing them.particularly when it's an attempt on your part to scoff at how I post.

Called me out indeed!
All you
called out
was your own admission that you lack the capacity to construct such a post or respond to one with any measure of thought or reasoning.
Which some of us already knew..and which is fine so long as you don't make thinly veiled jibes at those who can.
And the difference it makes is that it highlights your hypocrisy and intent by making no derogatory remarks about TCC's lengthy post, encouraging me to respond and then making jibes about how my response to his is overthought, long winded etc.
When the first line of your response is
"That's what I was looking for! Lol."
, that tells me a lot and reveals your focus and intent was more about scrutinising me than the subject under discussion.
In this case it seems, to derive some odd personal amusement.
You can expect to be challenged when you engage people this way.
And given your history, you are probably the least afforded person to
lol
at anybody on this board.

Pardon me, sir! Who in the hell do you think you are?! "Lack the capacity by my own admission"? Lack the capacity insinuates, I lack intelligence. I am dumb. Stupid. An idiot. Moron. Dope. Retarded. Like mental capacity. All I said, bully(oh yeah. You are.), was that I neither have the time nor the patience to type out long winded posts. As you pointed out, I do post at many boards, so I need to spread out my time between several. Can't spend forever typing out one long response. "Least afforded person to lol at anybody on this board"? What makes you say that? Being pompous again? Sounds it. I can laugh at anyone I wish.

I can do anything I wish.
I would have to say getting on here and making statements such as that falls into the category of being pompous. Especially when you pair it with the belief you seem to have that
you're
the only one here with the license here to do so.

cjh8504 — 9 years ago(October 18, 2016 05:14 PM)
I have a license. I've had it for almost 12 years. When you've been here for as long as me, then you can have the attitude I have.

Well, I've been here longer than 12 years. So I guess I have the license to tell you that the amount of time you've been here means nothing. Nobody is punching a time clock.

"Lack the capacity by my own admission"? Lack the capacity insinuates, I lack intelligence. I am dumb. Stupid. An idiot. Moron. Dope. Retarded. Like mental capacity.
Take it whatever way you like.it's based on your own admission.
Aptly enough, those are all adjectives you have been more than prepared to use toward people plenty of times over on these boards.
All I said, bully(oh yeah. You are.), was that I neither have the time nor the patience to type out long winded posts.
No.that's not
all
you said. Below is a little more of what you said:
I'm just not very good at expressing my views without like calling you names and stuff.
I'm not a deep thinker like you, Sim.
Those two quotes - your own words - strongly imply that you lack the capacity to construct the kind of detailed, thought invested posts for which you are aiming jibes at others.
If you like to make brief, minimalist posts without going into too much detail, that's fine as I appreciate not everyone likes to analyse things too deeply.
But when you start being smug toward those who do, then your inability to contribute in any real depth also becomes fair game for analysis.
"Least afforded person to lol at anybody on this board"? What makes you say that?
On account of your historic childish behaviour on these boards, the name calling, intolerance to those who don't share your view, the inane theories you've aired many times, the number of people you've ticked off, your self-proclaimed HALLOWEEN expert status (when for me, you actually have less grasp on the movie than many), your obsessive daily round of largely irrelevant posts, the homophobic comments that have come and gone - landing you on ex-pal dave's ignore list.oh and something about licking a TV screen that I care not to learn of any further.
Yes..I'd think hard before I laughed at others if I were you.

I don't need to be talked down to by some arrogant, asswhole.
.
How exactly did he talk down to you? All he did was reiterate things that
you
said about yourself, and answer a question that you asked him.
I have a better grasp on Halloween than you ever will, and my theories are sound.
If you want to believe that Myers cooking a dog, and that he somehow managed to attach rope to a closed door and
push
it open (something that's physically impossible) are both sound theories, then by all means, knock yourself out. But it's not unreasonable for someone to doubt those theories.

cjh8504 — 9 years ago(October 19, 2016 05:51 PM)
No, no. He's taking quotes out of context and rejiggering them for his own purposes. And calling me dumb, even insinuating it, is where I draw the line. You can doubt my theories all you want. I doubt yours and his, and we all doubt this person's or that person's. That's what makes imdb great. But, being an arrogant, pompous, jerk, and calling my knowledge of this film, and certainly my intellect into question, tears it. If he apologizes, I'll take him off the list, because usually, I'm a fan of SIM.

BarneyStinson1991 — 9 years ago(October 19, 2016 06:29 PM)
He never called you dumb. You were the one who said you weren't a deep thinker and had problems expressing yourself sometimes. Each time he brought that up he always said something to the effect of, "now these are your words."
And yes that is what makes imdb great. But you also have to be able to handle it when someone disagrees with you. Look at the Nancy Loomis discussion. You can't even handle it when other people think she's attractive. Look at the problems you have when someone doesn't like II.

Right. I'm not a deep thinker, and problems expressing myself at times. All true. But, that doesn't mean I'm not intelligent, or smart or whatever. Just that, there's no need to waste brain power over thinking 40 year old movies. There are more important things to use brain power for. Reading books, doing cross word puzzles, Jeopardy. Lol. If he wants to sit there over analyzing things, even if he types it out quickly, so be it. That's not my style, and it doesn't make me dumb, because I like to be in and out quickly. Insert sex joke here, Barn. He said I didn't have the "capacity", by the way, which means intelligence. So, he did in fact call me dumb, hence the list. As far as Loomis goes, because she's ugly! I don't mind you finding her attractive, I guess. I'm more appalled that you think she's the MOST attractive in the movie. Not even close.

There you go. Right there. You said it yourself. "I'm not a deep thinker.""I have probems expressing myself at times."
He's not calling you stupid. He's merely stating that you yourself admitted that you have problems in these areas.
At the same time you called people who disect this movie losers. Just because they choose to put thought into this movie doesn't mean that they're over thinking it. It just means that they're taking a different approach as you.
