Am I specifically targetting Skip? Yes, as he is the one forum member that is continually rude and bullying, and refuses to modify his behaviour.


This is exactly the kind of thing that I'm tired off. Skip isn't the only one with a rude attitude here, they are some users that are worst offender in this forum. That's curious, but I've never seen one post where you comment on their attack ...

You are absolutely right, AESP.  There are villains on both sides who claim that the other guy fired the first shot so THEY are only responding in kind.  The hypocracy rears its ugly head when everybody gangs up on Skip and not on the others who similarly offend: Hal and Johnd to name just two.

When we finally get around to voting on other people's behavior, I have no doubt some people are going to be quite surprised to find themselves getting gigged for bad behavior.  It seems to me that some here are gleefully looking forward to seeing Skip get "his comeuppance."  I would caution these same people not to be too surprised to find themselves the target of bad reviews.  If truth be told, many of us have behaved disgracefully in these forums in recent history (myself included, I'd venture).  I'm just afraid some people either can't - or don't want to - recognize their own bad behavior.  But this will change once that behavior is subject to voting.

Funny, looked at a couple of pages of Hal and Johnd posts and they only seem to attack Skippy, don't know what hypocracy your seeing. Skip attacks anyone and most everyone. Correct Skip and looks like problem fixes itself. Unless you can point out where else these guys, or anybody else for that matter, was rude to another member just for the sake of it and show that they are also a widespread problem.

Wow, i go weeks, maybe months without posting. Look at this, and its 15 pages in just a few days! I like rules, but i also like to bend the rules, while staying in them ( i can be flexible!). I keep my profiles locked, and choose what i want them to say. I gave up on contributing for fear that i could spend hours working on a TV show only to get the whole damn thing get a "NO" because i got one thing wrong. It happens, happened to me on a Dr. Who profile because i didnt put the source of my info. I didnt have to put a source just a week before, on another submission. Anyway, i love the DVD Profiler, and i would like to contribute, but i see many things in this 15 pages that remind me why i dont become a bigger part of this community.
Let me also add, the few times i have posted everyone has been very kind and helpful. I had to put the disclaimer in!

Botom line is that they ARE being rude.  I don't care if it's only directed at Skip - rude is rude.  Two wrongs don't make a right, and all that.  The hypocracy comes when they initiate the attack against Skip - and don't try to tell me they don't, because I have seen them do this.  Without Skip saying anything against either of them, they will jump into a thread that Skip has posted in just to berate him.  That is no better than Skip berating someone else.  If you can't see that, you aren't looking very closely.  You are doing it yourself, by calling him "Skippy."  IF you feel that you can freely insult someone and are justified in doing so, you are indeed part of the problem rather than of the solution.

You should include yourself as part of that problem, tlevel. Just exactly who are you to say Correct Skip. Would you like me to post a 2 month set of PM's from you in which, right from your very first post you did nothing but insult and name-call. It might be very enlightening fo other users to see you for who and what you  really are. from my point of view, fix people like, YOU, Hal, johnd and quite a few others, because I have no problems with MOST of the users Community. There are a few3 however, who cause ALL the trouble, deliberately and intentionally.

Skip
ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Sure, they are being rude, but to a goal, and that's to try make the problem child go away. They aren't telling people to be nice and then attacking someone who doesn't even know them, like Skippy does to newbies. Heck, I bet they would be the first to admit that they are being rude in the cases you mention, would Skippy? Don't think so. Skippy doesn't think he is, he thinks is merely defending himself. You defending him doesn't help the cause either, I would say that you are more a part of the problem than I am. By defending him, you are only confirming his belief. He doesn't think like normal people, as far as I can tell. Hence the terms, Skiplogic and Skipocryp.

The only affect I've ever seen in being nice to Skippy, was that it gave him the idea that he was superior. He wants everyone to try and understand his ideas, and how great they are. You can disagree if you want, but make sure you first tell him how much you appreciate his idea first. He will then respond to you is some completely off topic remark also saying that you are wrong and that his idea is so much better. You better at this point conceed the arguement otherwise you are at risk of offending him.

Point I'm trying to make is that if you take away Hal, Johnd or everybody who attacks Skip away from this forum, the forum isn't going to get any better, because you are still going to have Skip pretending that he is better than everyone else and talking down to everyone. You take away Skip, you will get rid of most of the insults and the forum will improve on it's own.

Do you realize that you are yourself rude when you use the name "Skippy"?

I don't see what it's rude when you say to someone to make a search or giving him a link where is answer is given. If your goal is to :

Sorry but it doesn't make you look like the good guy. But some users will receive a wake up call in not so long, maybe you are one of them...

I'm pretty sure the horse has effectively been beaten to death, here.  Let's just wait for the voting system and let god (Ken?  ) sort them out.

Hehe true, and why does so many users here use so much time and energy to turn every single post into a skip bashin fest? I do not care that they do not like skip and I would prefer taht they would:

A. Shut up.
B. Shut up and stop complaining
C. Stop behaving like small children

They can pick any but both AB and C complie to most of the offenders. I too belive that many users here will start to wonder why they got so many "shame shame on you" votes.

Strange they do not see that we are fed up?

Looks like you'll be getting your wish.  The beauty of the voting system is that now they can shut up, yet still express displeasure.  There's no reason to respond, just simply vote.  The problem will take care of itself.

Clarification please. Isn't this threat against forum rules? I thought you are not supposed to post private communications here.
