No.

First off, I'm primarily answering as your question is getting no replies. If you want to get these girls' attention, you need to somehow make the post about them.

Secondly, with regard to your signature, it's boring; not the concept, but the movies you have selected...you have the wishlist of a 10 yr old.

People on a movies forum, despite the preponderance of political and religious discussions :lookingup: , have seen these...many times.

The concept is your own, and that makes it unique, but make your choices something that makes someone do a second take...makes them want to consider it as a movie choice...not choices that are going to get responses that are likely "seen it, seen it, boring, seen it, can't give it away, the hell that replays in my head, etc."

Hope that answers your question.

Ya know-honesty is not always the best policy.
Bob's a good kid-why do you have to cut down a kid?
I dunno-the kids heart is in the right place-try to support instead of telling hin he's stupid. TEACH! Don't critisize. You got kids,Menard?
Yeah-I aint no genuis-but I got 5 kids-3 grand kids. I don't tell them there stupid. I Try to teach them if I know it.

Love ya, Ronnie, but you really need to stop putting your foot in your mouth by going off on things you think I said; the only place anybody called bob stupid is in your own mind.

The simple fact is that this thread would have disappeared had I not answered it, and as usual the only reason why it is being responded to is to combat the evil that is presumed to be me.

I didn't call bob stupid. I replied to his (I'm presuming...tell me if I'm wrong) question by telling him that I do not like his signature...as it is, and went on to tell him how I think he can improve it. I would not have suggested how he could improve it if I didn't think the idea was at least interesting and original.

The one thing I did do is answer; and none of you had done that until you had a reason to...which is unfortunate that it is because I posted rather than the reason it should be...simply because someone asked a question.

Nope, Menard, that doesn't pass muster.

I took the same thing from your post that RC did.  You didn't SAY the word stupid, but all your words did, and the only way to appear smaller now is to then pretend you meant otherwise (as you now are doing).

RC has it right.  You could have answered his question with a constructive approach and some kindness.  While you gave an honest critique, you did not mean it kindly, and RC didn't put his foot in his mouth.  You did.

If you're having a bad day, you could try what I do:  write your reply, stare at it for a long time, and then delete it and move on with your day without making a post.

Zapranoth

As to your question, Bob, as for me I don't pay much attention to sigs...  For what my opinion is therefore worth, panes of movies watched isn't something that attracts my attention.  I more like the pithy quotations or else a really clever gif, myself.

Nope.

I am not having a bad day...thank you for your incorrect presumption.

I answered a question and answered it honestly, which nobody else bothered to do.

If you makes you all feel better to call it whatever you want, feel free. :cheers:

Dammit.
All I'm  saying is Bob's a good guy.
And his opinions and thoughts are as valid as anyone elses on this board-or on f**king planet Earth,for that matter.



Except WyreWizard.
That guy's an idiot.

Bob is sharing his thoughts-and movie experiances with us, I aint gonna cut down what he likes-or what he feels,
Hell-he's a big Lugosi fan-I liked him right off the bat!

Personally-yeah-I seen all the movies he's seen-but it's new to him-and he's excited about them-thats pretty dam cool.

Menard, I would find your response insulting.  However, if just one sentence is removed, it changes from insulting to just being perhaps too critical - but still useful feedback. 

This is the sentence, and in fact it's just the very end of it that becomes insulting:

Well duh.

It's not at issue as to whether it's insulting. Of course anything I post is going to be honest and most likely crude and insulting as a result of being honest. But 'insulting' is not the issue at hand; RC said I called bob 'stupid', which I did not, and Zap somehow had a brainfart and wrote out his ass.

The simple thing is that this thread was going to disappear without a single response. Of course the board would go on and it's nothing earth-shaking or in any way tragic, except perhaps to bob, but that wasn't on my mind as I just saw a thread that hadn't been replied to and decided to reply to it.

It's not what I said to bob that has these girls replying, it's specifically this:

QuoteIf you want to get these girls' attention, you need to somehow make the post about them.

I made the post about them, and now they are replying.

And no, none of you girls know my heart and mind when I am writing something. If I intend to call anybody anything, I will; I think I've shown more than enough on here that I have no problem with saying what I mean.


Okay, now enough of this sappy group hug...ewww :lookingup:

This post has turned into self masterbation-I blew my nut yesterday.
Bob asked if I liked his sig-yeah-ok.Its ok.
Fact of the matter is-he's a young guy.
And any young person who has the imagination to explore older films-instead of cow-towing to the garbage CGI superhero bulls**t-is cool with me.
So-gimme a smart ass answer. It won't fly. Kids a fan. Don't knock him.

Speaking of s**t-my new avatar of Lugosi makes me look smart-which is cool-because Im not. Cool or smart. I'm just a  49 year old fanboy.

bob asked that a while ago and neither you or anybody else was interested in responding until I did...and now I'm the bad guy?

Tell me...do you actually like his sig, or are you saying that because you feel sorry for him now?

Really? Do you know him that well? Do know me that well? Do know anybody on this forum that well to say who they are?

I gave an honest opinion and you might actually want to go back and read it this time, along with vagina boy. You all didn't bother to reply to bob's question in the first place and now you are making it like you are all caring and family to bob...and all because I replied to him...you might want to try some honesty.

Still love ya, Ronnie, no matter how full of s**t you are at times; but don't worry, we all are at times.

zombie no.one

hmm, a guy who calls someone out for having the tastes "of a 10 year old", but who throws around insults like 'vagina boy' and has a sig saying "show your boobs". it's not adding up here somewhere...

I suggest you stick to lurking because you seem to have no ability to control yourself reasonably on a messageboard.
