jesus bloody christ, first off why would i post as kat? and secondly all this fuss cos i said it wasnt a horror film? imagine if i had said it was crap, what would have happened then? and i "mean well"? i dont believe i said a bad comment myself, all i critisied(?!) was the genre, but don't worry, shan't be "ruining the board" anymore, ill just comment "well done" and "keep up the good work" like everybody else. Woah... Mate, go take sum valium, slip on some John Mayer, read some Sartre and calm the fuck down. Criticise as much as you like, you are on this board because Dan wants you on it, to criticise, to feedback, not to start pointless fuking arguments over a genre... There is a right and wrong way to raise issues, 'how dare you' is the wrong way. Now, you need to learn some people skills and grow up.

Oh I'm sorry did someone offend your artistic sensibilities. People are free to express themselves in anyway they see fit, who are you to judge what is an acceptable way to comment on a subject. You should learn to be tolerant.
No one has tried to start an argument except you. I belive you are coming across as a self righteous twat.

P.S. Its NOT horror!!!!!

horror? horror!? how dare you! next youll be saying bloody Scream is a horror film! That is aggressive, and there is no need to be so aggressive over such a minor issue. If he said that to me outside I would have knocked the guys head off... there is no need for it in a message board designed for people to comment on Dans film... arguing across a friends board is not a nice thing to do. I know its not horror, and no I don't care, and no I still can't see why its important. And in my opinion, your chirping in is escalating the problem... read my first and second post, am I trying to start arguments with people, no. I dont appreciate being spoken to in such a tone, and I hope for you sake you don't let people speak to you like that either.

OK so you don't like the "tone" of my post. Fair enough but using words like chirping is hardly nice and friendly. I find it patronising. I don't let people speak to me in that way and thats why I'm responding. Also I don't belive there is a "problem". People just disagree thats all. If you think thats a problem then you are narrow minded.

If you think thats a problem then you are narrow minded. I was refering to PToms post... and yes you were 'chirping in' because the issue has nothing to do with you at all. There is not a problem, why dont you actually read my post, Ptom is the person who raised the issue, and I dont like the way he raised it, so I told him to stop being so petty. Disagree, I dont give a shit about the genre, he can call romance for all I care. Narrow minded? and just for the record I find your post patronising 'oh im sorry, did i offend you artistc sensibilities'...

Yes you did offend me. What has it got to do with me, whatever I like since this appears to be an open forum. You disagreeing with the way Ptom posted is "petty" and I don't like the way you made your feeling's felt so I decided to post.
Feel free to bombard me with your incredible sarcasm, I am going to sleep listening Beastie Boys and having a B12 shot.

only c*nts actually read sartre. and (sorry dan) but john mayer is for the clinically insane.
and you need to watch who you're telling to grow up, and make sure they're not several years older (in age and maturity) than you are.
also, it's chipping in, not chirping in. you don't chirp in. you chirp up.
finally: how exactly do people skills help on the internet? you know you can't actually see the people, right?
ps. we've decided to hate you. you either need to make a big turnaround or deal with the ganging up. it's what we do. ask dan.

Feel free to bombard me with your incredible sarcasm, I am going to sleep listening Beastie Boys and having a B12 shot. I didnt ask if I offended you. Dont expect to jump into the middle of something, take sides and then not take a few hits from my 'incredible sarcasm'... You admitted yourself that you dont let people talk to you in an aggressive tone, so you defended yourself against my 'aggressive post', exactly what I did to Ptom... you dont like how I dealt with it, in your own words 'People are free to express themselves in anyway they see fit' It has nothing to do with anyone else what I say apart from the person im talking to. You said that I am looking to start arguments, 'No one has tried to start an argument except you.' I showed you that I am not, which is clearly evident, if you read my post which Ptom replied to, it is clear he is the aggressor, and therefore in your own words. 'I don't let people speak to me in that way and thats why I'm responding.' I have no argument with you, I have no wish to argue at all especially on this board, I didn't start the argument, with Ptom or you... and I have no wish to continue with it.

I think that is asking if you offended me. Unless that comment was not serious and was in fact your blatant student sarcasm at work (no disrespect to normal students).

John Mayer is fantastic, I wish I could play the guitar and write half as well as him. Then he is old enough to know better... Believe it or not, there are real people, on computers just like you, who read what you say... so people skills like not saying 'how dare you' to someone you don't know over something as silly as a genre, because its rude and aggressive - is very relevant.

Erm, Sartre was the father of Existentialism and is one of the greatest philosophers of all time... so it says a lot about sausages. John Mayer is fantastic, I wish I could play the guitar and write half as well as him. Then he is old enough to know better... Believe it or not, there are real people, on computers just like you, who read what you say... so people skills like not saying 'how dare you' to someone you don't know over something as silly as a genre, because its rude and aggressive - is very relevant. James, I think you need to sit down and take a look at the whole of this thread from an impartial point of you. First off, 'how dare you' is neither rude nor aggressive 'shut the f*ck up you poncy c*nt' is on the other hand. Personally if I was to put a film online that I had created and one of my friends (im guessing your one of Dan's friends as you’re posting on his board) said great horror film, and it was as much a horror as the one we are discussing, then I would sit there and think to myself, either my friend is brown nosing me, he hasn’t watched/understood the film or he just doesn’t know enough about film genres. Oh and by the way 'Err yeah, do I really care, he knew what I meant, it’s the same difference.' - shows a lot of respect for your friends work. As for ruining the forum, you seem to be more upset/annoyed that I disagreed with you rather than my opinion on Dan's work (which if you read my post I said was good), which I thought was the whole point of this forum......Which brings me onto my last point, this forum isn’t about you, it isn’t about your music tastes or your choice in books. I’m very pleased that you listen to POP music like John Mayer (and before you comment that its not POP music Err yeah, do I really care, you know what I meant, it’s the same difference) and read intellectual books by Sartre, but I couldn’t give a flying f*ck! This is forum about DANS WORK and DANS INTERESTS not yours. And finally Dan....... I’m almost envious of your forum; it’s been a while since such an amusing rant happened on mine.

Im not upset that you disagreed with me one bit. The fact is guys that Dan showed me some films and asked me for feedback, he showed me the forum and I said I was impressed and liked one of the films on his website. To which I get a post like 'how fucking dare you mix genres up, cos there so important and stuff'. I mean seriously, c'mon, how can u type shit like its my fault, that im the one starting arguments when your first post is that! There was no need to be aggressive, and like it or not that is how your post came across to me. Fact no. two is I am most deffinetly not into films nearly as much as you, so mixing genres up isn't the sort of thing I care about, Dan knows this. So when I say nice horror film, he takes with a pinch of salt, he knows it isn't horror, but he doesn't say it because he would sound like a nit picking ponce, he knows what I mean, he knows that I thought his 'suspense' film was good, and accepts the compliment. The reason for my aggressive replies were due to the fact that I thought you were aggressive in the way you dealt with my confussion of the two genres, unneccesarily so. I also felt that getting annoyed over what appears to me to be a incrediably minor issue. I appreciate why it bothers you, if someone came up to me in the pub and said 'did you see Van Nistleroy last nite score for Arsenal, my response would be similar to Nistleroy? that was Henry you retard' -and only then if I knew them... So, although i still think it a bit harsh, now I can see why you got so pissed off over it, I can see why you think its an issue, and I can see why you were offended. I never said John Mayer was not pop, and I never said he was, I suggested you go listen to him. Whilst we are on the issue, he left uni to get away from pretentious people on his course, i am not pretentious... in fact (Ive had to rewrite this a few times) I find you arrogant and pretentious, the fact you can get so anal about a film genre screams pretentious to me, so if your guna start getting personal, Darling, I suggest you think about what your saying. Oh, loser you say, well , I don't sit and brood, infact I have so a low impression of you means you are not worthy of my brooding time, I'd much rather think about the next Arsenal match, how many pages of Being and Nothingness I have left to read, whether I should phone those numbers I got yesturday, tomorrow or wait until Monday... you know that kind of thing. I belong to one other forum, a fitness forum, where I help people get results and write programs - I am not a loser, and I know better then to start throwing insults across boards when I have absolutley no idea of the person Im talking to. I know this Dans forum, I don't want to be talking about me or you at all, I'd much rather compliment critique his work... but I'd rather not be subject to your aggression... okay you say it wasn't aggressive, I felt it was, thats why there is a problem, the correct thing to do would be to apologize, and say you didnt mean it like that. I mean c'mon, if someones first words to you were 'how dare you' ... you'd think they were a c*nt right?..
