I did not insult anyone. I didn't single out anyone or use bad language or use insulting language at all, I simply made a comparison to another movie that had a very similar tone.
I used the term "kiddie" as that was sorta mentioned as the tone of this movie in a post above.
The term "kiddie" has been used by the people in camps other than the MCU films. I go into all forums...I have seen it many times. It is used as a derogatory term by the fans of things other than the MCU to bolster their side. If you do not want people using derogatory terms about your opinions...then take the high road and not use them first....We have here on this page...multiple posts where people are upset and mouthing off about a poster on IMDB who said something bad about the people who liked ASM2....so you took the low road and insulted the people who liked the AVENGERS.
edit: why do mods only call out posters who seem to speak on the supportive side of things, but never those who unrelentingly criticize and complain about the movie to no end?
If I only had a penny for every single time I hear this complaint FROM BOTH SIDES!!!!! The haters say we only pick on the haters. The lovers say we only pick on the lovers. One day....one day....you people will take off the blinders and look at what I say with open eyes....I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHICH OPINION YOU HAVE....I ONLY ASK THAT YOU POST CIVILLY!!!!
I've only ever seen posters called out by mods for "not accepting that some people don't like the film," which isn't true,
Then you need to open your eyes. I have warned, infracted, and banned posters on both sides. I'm getting tired of saying this, but here it goes again - I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOUR OPINION OF THIS OR ANY OTHER MOVIE IS...ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU POST CIVILLY WHEN DISCUSSING IT.
and I saw absolutely no insult in Cyclop's post for example,
That's the sad part. You and so many others see nothing wrong with insulting people who don't share your opinion....but raise wholy hell when the same is done about yours.
but he was reprimanded for not accepting others viewpoints?
No...he WAS NOT reprimanded for not accepting someone else's viewpoint...he was reprimanded for belittleling someone else's viewpoint.
And don't tell me that the detractors are doing it "more reasonably/respectfully," cause that's certainly not true
Some are...some aren't. I reprimand the ones I see not being civil.
edit: C.Lee, I see where you don't want people tagging on terms like "kiddie" to describe other movies/fan bases, that makes sense to me. But there have been much much worse terms than that thrown around in here when some people are endlessly speaking of how "completely, absolutely terrible" this movie is
And yet once again I say...when I see that happen, I reprimand. Someone saying they hate the movie is NOT an attack upon you. If someone says you are an idiot for liking it, that is an attack upon you.
Dude, you're really reaching here. You just can't label a word a "catch" word just because it's been used before. It just reeks of random cherry picking. I don't get how people (on both sides) can go pages and pages borderline insulting people over there opinions but every once in while you guys decide to make an example out of someone for posting the most benign thing in the world.
You're not correcting him for any actual wrong doing, you're putting him in his place simply because you don't like the word he used.
I have been a moderator/administrator on this site for around 12 years....I have learned in that time what are catch words and phrases and what can or can not be discussed civilly, etc.......
