No, what gets you infracted is your attitude, I'm letting you know in advance and openly that I think your time in this section is done.

No, acting like this gets you infracted all the time. You keep pointing out that you're a grownup, try to act like one when you encounter on opinion that differs from yours.

This is the third time you publicly threaten me. Is this your idea of putting fear into members? Members. Remember, people choose to post here. All I ask is despite your usual approach to moderating, that you cease threatening me & grant me the respect I grant you when addressing me. I'm not a child, so threatening me won't do anything but insult my intelligence. |

Because that's what a PG-13 rating will do. Cut away from every kill. |

LOL....um, you do realize that if you deserve an infraction, it doesn't matter if we like you or not. You are going to get the infraction. If Danoyse does in fact like Project, then, that just proves it. So, really.....stick to things you know something about. Infraction history, you know nothing about. Move on...

You don't have to cut away from the kill. The filmmakers will just have to be a bit more creative in how they portray the violence. I know you find it a totally impossible to grasp concept, but ultimately Wolverine is beloved by millions of children. Fox, Marvel, or whoever is not going to alienate an entire demographic to please fans that want to see Wolverine shower himself in blood. It doesn't make good sense to go for an R rating for Wolverine from a purely business point of view. Movies are ultimately a business. If a company is going to pour millions into a film, they're gonna want to guarantee their return. The best way to guarantee it is to make it as accessible as possible. That means we get a PG-13 Wolverine film. That's just the way it goes.

It would be nice to get a R rated version of the Wolverine but the best we could possibly hope If for a PG-13 theaterical version and a Unrated DVD/Blu-Ray like Hugh jackman once
suggested. |

I dissagree. I've brought this up before, BLACK SWAN grossed $107 Million during Awards season with no 3D, a $10 Million budget and an R-rating (for explicit sex, violence and themes). If a movie is great, people will watch it. Neutering the movie to cater to broader demographics doesn't help it but rather harms it. That's what happened to Origins. FOX thought they should aim it at kids. Look what happened. $150 Million budget. $180 Million Domestic. People went to watch the animal. The weapon. $85 million worth of people that were misled during opening weekend. Hence the poor legs the film had afterwards. You make a Wolverine movie that isn't watered down & people will storm the theaters. That's why FOX went with Aronofsky - who wrote brutal, R-rated film. |

You don't treat anyone with respect so I find it ironic how you are trying to demand it. I have done nothing but openly tell you to change your attitude, you have been warned over and over but do not heed it. I don't know if it's arrogance or that you just aren't as intelligent as you like to think you are, but somehow the message is not getting through to you. So here it is clear, knock your attiude off or you will be banned from this section. |

You're completely wrong about me treating people with no respect. If that were true, I wouldn't talk to so many posters via PM as I do here. In fact, if you go through my post history I rarely argue with anyone except Danoyse. Go read through my posts. You'll find 90% are part of respectful debates. The other 10% are me getting my head chewed by Danoyse for being a snob. Look, frankly, I can already tell you're not going to be impartial about this. I keep giving you legitimate statements on why I am undeserving of this treatment but you seem dead set on making an example out of me. I'm tired of coming here already. Danoyse made this place inhabitable for me since day 1 and I see none of the mods here are willing to evaluate how she systematically damaged my reputation over time to the point where more mods are accusing me of behavior I haven't demonstrated. |

You have a choice, look in the mirror and actually be honest with yourself, or don't, keep going as you are and I can guarentee you that when this movie hits cinema screens you'll be a distant memory. |

I'm against R rated Woverine or Batman.If you want an unrated DVD version,that's one thing.But I could do without excessive sex/gore in my movies.

Eh I wouldn't mind an R rated Wolverine. I bet they could pull it off. With buzz and if it's a real good movie then it will make lots of money. But they could always release an unrated or R version on DVD. How well did Prometheus do?

The problem is that Wolverine is very popular among those under 17 and kids are responsible for a lot business and repeat business. Part of what makes The Avengers a 1.6 billion dollar success is that it's a FAMILY movie. You can get away with a R Rated film for a more mature, less well-known character like Wade Wilson or Frank Castle, but not Logan. Just look at all the Wolverine toys.

Shame. I don't think he crossed the line myself, certainly not in this thread. If someone rubs me the wrong way I just ignore them. Just like in life. We get frustrated and passionate as fans sometimes, that just makes it interesting, no? Banning was way too harsh a judgement. I understand you need to keep order, but this is pushing it too far imo.
Hope he can find his way back on down the line (assuming he would want to). Last edited by SoNicRaDiATioN; 11-02-2012 at 02:05 AM. |

For nearly two years of near constant trolling people? No way.

Just to be clear here: Alexei has been given multiple warnings and infractions in other sections of this forum besides this one (and not by me, no matter how me liked to claim so), and a probation. He was given plenty of chances to improve his attitude towards other posters, but decided not to do so.
Maybe you didn't think he was "that bad", but we have a ton of reports from members of this forum - again, not just from this section, and not from mods - that say otherwise. He didn't get infracted, warned, or banned because of his opinion. It was his complete inability (again, not just on this forum) to deal with an opinion besides his own without having a total breakdown during which he would incessantly insult others, and continue doing it after repeatedly being told to stop. So, enough was enough. We have rules here. Foul language is not permitted, so if you put one here (whether it was directed at someone or not), you're going to get infracted for it. That's how it goes. Opinions are more than welcome. But if you can't agree to disagree with someone without resorting to insults and nastiness, and continue to do it after being told to stop, then you're going to face the consequences for it. That's just how it goes. If following simple rules aren't your thing, you're welcome to leave.

Exactly Whiskey, he has had 2 years worth of warnings, plenty of time for anyone to see the error of their ways.
