From Rev. Powell



What RC posted is simply the truth. WyreDick is an a$$hole and purely a liar who posts for no other reason than than to get reactions from people and this feeds her little sickness, whatever this may be.

RC posted his thoughts about a troll, and perhaps it may not be containing himself, but...so what? WyreDick doesn't contain himself or he wouldn't do what he does. That sounds like a double standard to me.

To label telling someone the truth as a personal attack....so the a$$holes and liars and flamers are free to do as they please but telling them what they are is a personal attack?

I don't disagree that WyreDick hasn't, technically, violated the forum rules, and to in any way restrict him would be unfair to him and unfair to the others of the board...but, again, to restrict another from speaking the truth, to bind their freedom of expression, well...I've already said it...it's a double standard which favors one expression over another.

Menard: when you are good you are very, very good.   :cheers:

RC literally said "f**k you" to another poster and called him an a***ole. That's not simply speaking "the truth", that's an opinion, and one that's deliberately intended to be inflammatory.

WW posts threads that RC (and many others here) don't like and interpret as trolling, but he never posted a thread simply to attack another poster. If WW posted a thread attacking another poster I think it should be locked. If RC posts a WW-type "trolling" thread it shouldn't be locked. That's not a double standard.

Favoring one form of expression over another is not a double standard. Profanity is masked on this board, but that standard applies to everyone equally. It's only a double standard if the same rules are applied to different people differently.

Andrew is not around and I anticipated that he would not want this thread to blow up. Most forums ban personal attack threads. The rules here state

"Rule #1:  Common Courtesy
Please be polite when posting.  Discussing movies is naturally going to lead to conversations with other people who do not agree with your opinion of a film.  One of the great things about that is that neither opinion is wrong, the film simply hit the right chord for one of you and failed to entertain the other.  You do not have to agree with everyone and a good debate is definitely an asset to the community.  Flame wars are useless, so rude and insulting behavior is not tolerated."

I interpret RC's actions as violating that rule because to me starting a thread solely to call an individual an a***ole and saying "f**k you" qualifies as "rude and insulting."

Rule 1 also says " If one of the moderators (this includes me, Andrew) makes a decision that you disagree with, constructive debate about the issue is welcome.  We all make mistakes or take action without having the best information or forethought, so the forum benefits when everyone contributes to find the best solution to problems."  

Your post, Menard, comes under this heading.

1) WyreDick is an a$$hole, and that's the "truth".
2) WyreDick's threads are "deliberately intended to be inflammatory"

I'm not calling you out on locking the thread, Rev, that was probably a good move, especially in light of not knowing how Andrew would want to handle it. However, I don't think you labeling RC's post as a personal attack and obsession is fair to RC. And, let's face it, all RC's thread really does is feed WyreDick's sickness; WyreDick is just going to gloat over it.



(I'm ignoring your term "attack" and inserting my own, which is "infuriate")

WyreDick knows what people's hot buttons are and uses them to get responses. He has several times taken potshots at alcoholics in his threads, and it is no accident; however, to restrict that, in my opinion, would be unfair as you really can't prove that it is intended toward any specific member or that it is anything other than an opinion...but we do know it is intended to get a response.



I disagree, but I don't see any point in debating it.



We could argue all day and each write a thesis on whether WyreDick's thread constitute "rude and insulting", and in the end we still wouldn't get anywhere.

Like I said, I'm not taking you to task on locking the thread, but it could have been done without calling RC out and calling it a personal attack. If it was in violation of the rules of the board, then what you replied to me should have been replied to him in like manner.

My gripe is that I don't see it as a personal attack so much as expressing an opinion. If there is a classroom filled with children and one of them wants to drag their fingernails across the chalkboard to irritate others, so another child comes up and slaps them and tells them to stop it, it's one child telling another that what they are doing is bothering them in a rather intense way.

WyreDick purely drags his fingernails across a chalkboard in his posts. The major distinction is that nobody is forced to sit in a class with him and can leave or just not enter the classroom.

Since there is the option to "not look" it can definitely be said that RC did not contain himself, and perhaps telling WyreDick "fvck you" might not classify as the "truth", but that is a small distinction in the entire message that WyreDick is an a$$hole and a liar, which is the truth, and to decry his entire message as meaning what one small part of it said...well hell, every one of my posts would not fit those standards.

I'm Stating my opinions, naturally, but I do want to remind everybody, and say to you, Rev, that you are not in an enviable position having to moderate a situation and make decisions whether popular or not. Regardless of disagreements, we should respect that decision, and you for making it. I'm still going to disagree with you...if for no other reason than to be the a$$hole I am. :tongueout:

I can accept that criticism. I apologize to RC for sounding like I was lecturing him. I'm editing the post lock to remove personal references.

It's an awkward situation, to be sure. From a standpoint of moderation, the post probably did cross a line, and locking it was the right thing to do. From a purely personal standpoint, RC's post made me smile. I agreed with the sentiment, if perhaps not so intensely, and I enjoyed seeing that sentiment expressed.

Of course, it is probably just going to give WW more perverse satisfaction, since making people angry represents power to a troll. I have lately chosen to avoid threads started by WyreWizard. But I do check the number of views and replies, and just shake my head. It's like feeding the raccoon who knocks over your garbage. It encourages him to hang around and makes him even more of a pest.

I'm just waiting for WyreWeiner to screw up badly enough to get banned.

Ah like your nickname for him. :thumbup:


As far as him screwing up, I don't think that's going to happen. He's smarter than he looks (I realize that leaves a whole lot of room), and will only push enough to get what he wants; if he pushed too far, he'd put that in jeopardy, and he knows it.

Ah, and you guys just continue to feed it's ego. My suggestion is to do one of two things, either make fun of it (personally I think it's fun) or ignore it. Those are the only two options worth considering.

His "reality flaw" game got old real quick, and I can understand people getting riled up about it.
Ignoring WW is the best one can do because as they say, don't feed the troll.

Dang. I didnt even know this thread was here-I read my PMs and found all sortsa stuff-after I posted my apology.
And I DO mean my apology.
Not to Wyres**tForBrains.
I still-and always will-think he's an a***ole.
I apolagize for spilling my venom to the world at large.

I prefer to think of it less as "feeding" and more "poking with a sharp stick."

Thaaaaat's the way I prefer to look at it.  :cheers:

Why does this sound familiar?

They way I see it is that if somebody says something stupid, you should be allowed to tell them that they're being stupid. 

Starting a topic for the sole purpose of calling somebody stupid is stepping over the lines though. 

... but that's just me.  I'm not a moderator or anything here. 

Same difference, really. You guys think you are having fun with him but that's just a reality flaw on your behalf - he is the one still getting a kick out of it.
Ever tried to analyze a troll? It's their fetish because they follow a different drummer. It gives them pleasure mentally, and maybe physically.
While you are poking him with a sharp stick he might be slapping some serious ham. Think about it  :wink:

Too true.  Any attention is good attention.


The most effective thing to do is to laugh from a distance: replies to its thread just 'feed' it.  You won't find me replying to its threads. I find its attempts to present logical and "scientific" explanations to be highly laughable: puerile to the point of being totally false.  :bouncegiggle: They are just as inaccurate and flawed as the 'reality flaws' it rails on about.  Either this is deliberately baiting response (and I hesitate to grant it that level of intelligence - sorry Menard!) or it really is either self-deluded or just plain DUMB.  Or both; I could go for both.   :wink:

A variation on "hold your friends close, and your enemies closer" is to overestimate your enemy, not underestimate them; this way they will disappoint you in the end, not impress you. If your enemy ever impresses you, they win.

I did say that WyreDick is more intelligent that he appears...I didn't say he doesn't appear to be retarded. :wink:

 :tongueout:

Dude, you gotta turn your karma on just for a few minutes - I HAVE to plus that one (I dribbled my drink a bit)...

you people are hilarious, just watching you bicker about Wyres**t being an a***ole is funny.
here's how I'm like:

The thing I don't like about WW is that he generally nitpicks about mainstream movies and he seems to forget that this is a BAD movie forum, not obvious mainstream horses**t that everyone else has seen. There's a thing called "suspension of disbelief" and I don't think WW has an ounce of it.

Bald, bright yellow, and have a horrible overbite?

Wow...that makes me think so much of WyreDick and how much he finds entertainment in sitting back and watching the rest of us bicker at him.

Frankly I'm not too different in that regard, nor are a lot of us.

We come here for the basic reason of entertainment. Some like to sit back and watch the bickering, some like to be involved in the bickering. That's not a description of everyone obviously, but at the very core of diversion is a desire to find entertainment, and at that very core level we're not that different, including WyreDick with the rest of us.

 :tongueout:

This is 'bickering'?   :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

Doesn't bickering usually involve disagreement? I don't think anybody has disagreed that WyreDick is an a$$hole. :teddyr:

I agree 100%.

Pure Hatred and Contempt.  You gotta love them.  Its seems I have been called every insult in the human language in this forum, LOL!!!

I have stated my opinions (most of which are fact) about things in a lot of mainstream films which are both ridiculous and unrealistic.  You guys just like to flame me with a 100 megatons of napalm.  Some of you keep shoving that "suspension of disbelief" crap on me.  That to me is more like "Suspension of the acknowledgement of the rules of reality, human behavior and other things found in real life."  Others push artistic license on me.  Now I've told you what insane things the movie industry has driven people do to.

I admit that I have never directly attacked anyone on these boards (unlike Menard here.)  I only attack people who throw the first punch.  I often like to have a good debate and a lot of you on this board are good at that, some so good they would win the hot seat in the White House.

Some things I have seen in movies are questionable, not because if they are real or not but because if they ever will be possible.

Now one thing I don't understand is why those of you who like to attack me, why don't you just ignore my posts?  Did I ever hold a gun to your head, tell you to read my post then flame me afterwards?  No, you did that of your own freewill and that freaking irritates me.  That tells me you get sadistic pleasure from doing so.

That's my only conclusion...unless you can prove otherwise which I highly doubt.

I personally don't have a problem with you, but I think statements like that and the way it which you start your posts seem to be quite "provocative" and light a fuse with a select few people. Anyway, always best not to rise to any bait - Ignorance is bliss as they say...

Instead of just complaining about unrealistic movies, why not recommend films you like?

And when you make accusations, princess, you'd best be prepared to back them up.


There are only three things you are good at:

1) Instigating and provoking
2) Lying
3) Being a coward

You proved being a coward several years ago when I gave you a public ass whipping on this forum, and it took months and months before you would dare show your ugly fvcking mug on here.

Would you like a repeat performance?

I wouldn't mind.

Considering you have no imagination of sense of fantasy, you don't get to judge whether something qualifies as human behavior or not.  You're going to have to act like a human before you can do judge that.  

Why do you continue to watch movies when you know before the title even pops up that you're 99% sure you're not going to like them?  You've already pointed out how you hate anything unrealistic, anything realistic but unlikely, anything that requires the heroes to struggle, and things that don't have happy endings.  

Where is that?  It might be an interesting read.

Ask Allhallowsday; he probably has the url memorized, or tattooed on him.

I had karma back then, and before I deleted my account, and took 10 hits to my karma in one day for beating up on a troll. If I do it again, I'll make for damn certain I earn it this time. :teddyr:

I have my doubts he really believes any of the crap he's posting. He knows he sounds idiotic. He knows what he says doesn't make sense.

He also knows there are enough people around who simply can't let idiotic nonsense slide without saying something. Let him have the last word, even if it's also the first, and he'll eventually get bored and go away.

I'm done with him.
Fooey.
I got drunk-I vomited him out of my gut-I'm done.

I never understood why so many here get worked up by Wyre's posts.  I was always amused by them and never took them seriously.

Wyre is a fool and a troll, wasting his time on these forums, knowing his posts get responses. I'll never understand why someone like him needs to cause chaos in an otherwise calm and intelligent forum. I'm going to do now what I should have done a long time ago.

Ignore him.

Everyone else, please join me.  :smile:

We do realize that the more replies this thread gets the more it empowers him right?

I have a dream. I believe one day that everyone, everywhere, will know the wonders of my nipples.

This thread has officially jumped the rails. We will now begin talking about something else... Now

Kasey's nipples sure are swell!

This calls for an adorable picture of Murray.

When you read a post from WyrePuller, it makes Murray sad.

I find it funny you people hate Wyre, yet Andrew hasn't banned him from all of the fuss you guys yell about.
I don't have problem with you, since your posts are just dumb, yet I feel like there is some satirical elements to it to make it unique.

Menard, you're my friend, but I don't know what you're talking about.  And I'm too skinny and thin-skinned for tattoos.   :smile:  Though I suspect you may be referring to my reviving dead threads.  I have quite a bit of difficulty finding old threads and postings (particularly) because it's much easier to search this site for old pix I'd posted for albums I'm listening to AGAIN, but I often don't find 'em though I've got correct search data - if I alter the data (as in correct but different input) I often find what I'm in search of.  :question:  :smile: :teddyr: :drink: :wink:  

 (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/allhallowsday/willyad5.gif)  
You're so right; I enjoy having Wyre around.  What harm can he possibly do by his writing?   :question:  I'm a fan, though typically bored.  Board.   :teddyr:

Charming.  

Menard, you and I are mortal enemies...LOL j/k.  Flame me with 100 million hydrogen bombs.  Oh wait, bad idea.  You'd not only kill me but every other form of life on this God Green Earth.

Believe what you will of me, Menard.  You'll never know the truth.

And while I am here

::Drives a forklift carrying crates of beer and pretzels to Menard's front door, sets them down and drives away.

Except for me. 

I've never been one of those follow the leader types.  Just because everybody else is dying doesn't mean I'm going to join in.  I've never been big into popular trends. 

Screw you, I'd rather talk about Kasey's nipples than listen to you. Anyway, for everyone else's enjoyment here are a few random Spider-Man images.
