Don't have the time or desire to read your typical essays B&G, so I will just assume it's just another sanctimonious and self righteous tirade from you.
Take care dear. I hope you are just as easy going in whatever board you occupy next.

I'm not going to defend everything she says or does, but at least she is willing to engage and discuss with anyone who shares her opinions OR has different opinions. She talks and/or argues when people engage with her and she presents facts and opinions to back up her arguments. I respect her, the same way I respect everyone here who actually engages in discussion, whether I agree with it or not.
Almira is not a coward, unfortunately the same cannot be said about you and many others who just want to complain constantly. When asked to actually talk and discuss what you hate, you and others just disappear. So how about, stop being a coward and let's talk! I asked you to explain something you wrote to me here and of course you completely ignored it, like a coward.

Maybe someone will finally answer this post with an actual discussion but probably not because many of you are just childish cowards who want to throw temper tantrums instead of discussing your opinions.

There are a bunch of people on this board who would rather whine and complain and surround themselves with people who only whine and complain and never actually discuss what they hate. And yes, some people here bully others who speak up with different opinions, I've seen that happen on both sides.
And answer me this, before the board finally goes away - why did you feel the need to create an all out advisory telling everyone to not talk to me? Simply because I challenge you and speak up about your constant hate?

To the surprise of no one, Almira makes this all about herself too. I'll miss seeing her play the victim card. No one could do it as pathetically as her.

Yawn. This thread is hardly surprising
Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Exactly

They sort of explicitly say so too:
The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

No.
It's because there's very few people roaming these message boards compared to the people on IMDB's social media. IMDB didn't want to spend unessceary money hosting the message boards for a small amount of people. That's it.

YouTube comments
People have to View in order to post, even when they're posting kiddy crap. More views, more money. Google is extremely unlikely to shut that down.

Because supporting your thesis is tough, but throwing adjectives is easy.

Actually, YouTube has been ghost banning people for at least 2-3 years now.
Something IMDb would've started on this board, if they weren't already shutting it down.

Hate-watching says more about the viewer than it does about the show.

Right?! YouTube comments are plain awful and WAY worse than the kiddy crap they pull here, yet obviously they couldn't care less about it.

Sometimes I want to shut down YouTube comments myself!

Angry, stupid, ignorant, hate is what has become the new normal.
Yes, sadly. And this is what I'm arguing against. I'm hoping more people will speak out against people who post angry, stupid, hateful ignorance. It wasn't necessary one or three generations ago, it's not necessary today.
Good post, Cotton-mouth. If only people would speak up

I'm a big fan of not lowering our standards to put up with garbagebecause no one should have to eat garbage
Too late, just look at the garbage we're fed daily from a certain city by the East Coast a little South of Philly and north of Richmond. Angry, stupid, ignorant, hate is what has become the new normal.
I still don't buy that IMDB is doing away with the message boards because of the bile some posters spew there. The good far outweighs the bad, at least in my experience thus far.
A lot of posters put such depth of thought and intelligence and reasoning into their posts; it gives me hope for humanity when they do so respectfully and with great courtesy toward one another.

You are a troll, though.
How many negative replies have you wrote to people on these boards?

I always feel as much imposed upon by the people who say things like, "Haters gonna hate" because what they're really saying is, "The internet has lowered our standards right down into the mud, now get over it and accept this hideous behavior even though it's coming from people who know enough not to pull that sht."
I'm a big fan of not lowering our standards to put up with garbagebecause no one should have to eat garbageand instead demanding from the "haters" and "trolls" that they realise what's so repulsive about them.

Bullying is going to exist everywhere, whether they like it or not. Might as well just shut down commenting on YouTube, reviews, etc.

Rinzzler, kill yourself boy

I hope it has a bio text field for each user so you can put an advisory in yours, advising people not to talk to GeekyBriggs (and me) because you somehow lost some of your sanity in doing so. chuckles

Please do. Colliding Worlds also has an ignore option, so you can easily avoid anyone who has the temerity of disagreeing with you.

I took a moment to take her off ignore to see this, and I'll make an account very soon.

She's welcome on Lith's board, tyvm. Lith has said so.
