This post is horrific and terribly inappropriate. You are clearly out of line here. You owe the inmates an apology.
Follow Ups:
Gary, my apologies for offending you...but as always, I give what I get. As soon as I get an apology for the tone used in the first replies to my thread (when I specifically asked for "no cheapshots"), then I'll be all to happy to apologize to those individuals for reciprocating said attacks with a quite justifiably defensive posture.Actually, when you say "this post is horrific and inappropriate"...I hope you're referring to my tone, and not to the post's subject (which you conveniently ignore)...I was discussing Star Wars The Phantom Menace on DVD (and trying to get my original question answered by someone who actually knows the answer...hence my frustration, quite justified imo, when people speculate all sorts of inappropriate and personal things and avoid answering the question at hand, for motives hidden)...
...I presume you've seen the film, Gary? And if you mean to attack the film or my discussion of it, then I take offense to you AND your post in my thread, sir. I have every right to discuss DVD's here, sir. I also take offense at those who would question the honesty of my experience on this subject, or of my observations on this subject.
If I say I saw a film and it appeared a certain way in the theater, then that's how it was.
Good day to you sir, and get a thicker skin, as people have had occasion to tell me, here (which I find a bit hypocritical).
There's such a thing as an equal and opposite reaction to every action...and I have no intention of ever apologizing to "all" inmates for participating here and posing an honest and relevant discussion (which is quickly met with antagonism for no reason whatsoever)...which is perhaps not outside the realm of what you seem to imply by framing your response with "this post" (since about 95% of "this post" is regarding DVD and movie aspect ratios). There's a lot in that post, so how about commenting on the rest of it now? thanks...
I appreciate your apology.I was indeed referring to your tone, not the subject matter. Phantom Menace, and everything Star Wars, is my 2nd hobby next to being an audiophile. I am intimately familiar with this subject.
My getting a "thicker skin" is not necessary. I would instead suggest that you re-examine your tone when attempting to elicit mature responses from the inmates. Etiqutte is everything.
Additional responses to your original post is not warranted. If you so wish to rephrase your post in a mature and non-aggressive tone, I would be more than happy to provide you my opinion on the subject matter.
Yawn....Perhaps you could take a look at Rich's tone, for example, to see that there was indeed a context for my own "tone" (it was even mentioned in that post of mine that you are pretending to be so upset about)...that is, IF you actually care a wit (not that I think you do)...he's called me an imbecile, and I hardly think that such name-calling was called for in my original post. Rich Morgan has added nothing to this thread of mine, and I don't see you complaining about him...so forgive me if I am unmoved by your complaints about my "tone". Your observations come from a rather narrow and even one-sided perspective...that of ignoring the context.
Frankly, the fact that you have had nothing to ad regarding the subject matter so far, makes me not interested in anything further from you here. "I am intimately familiar with this subject." Ok, fine...but (no offense) I certainly am not going to beg anyone to think if they don't want to...whether or not they can back up such a claim or not.
To sum it up...you are a bore Gary, but don't take it personally. Sometimes one gets overcome by emotion, so I understand.
