WHY IS THE MELTON THREAD STILL UP?


IT'S POLITICAL.

IT'S FLAMING.

IT'S HARASSMENT.

IT'S UGLY.

reply

Because the moderators (2 of them?) barely check the forum, and make excuses for why the terms of use aren't enforced. They rarely remove threads. They will remove threats of violence, from what I can tell - but that's about all.

This forum is a great design (which is why I came here in the first place), a great format for discussing movies and TVs with the individual show pages imported from IMDB but it's been overrun by schizoid political extremists. It's truly sad.

reply

THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREAT ABOUT KEEPING POLITICAL POSTS OFF GENDIS....THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD TO WONDER.

reply

On that basis, I don't know.

reply

Now we have a post about someone who has been gone for years and can't even defend themselves.

I freely admit that I haven't always behaved in the best way, but it's getting pretty nasty around here.

reply

I’m becoming bored of it all.

reply

Skavau is on this thread. Just sayin'.

reply

28,000!

nice!

reply

And yet you started a thread to talk bad about that user.

reply

INCORRECT...I STARTED A THREAD QUESTIONING WHY ONE POST IS LEFT UP.

reply

You should start a thread about why you're an idiot.

reply

Speaking of getting bored of shit....

reply

Amen to that!! It’s getting old.

reply

Do you have a better way of dealing with Kowalski and his capital letters?

reply

I don't care about his all caps.

As for dealing with him, I just don't see the point of the pointless, constant digs. If you dislike him so much, ignore him. If you really want to debate him about something, don't stoop to insults. I speak to both of you on this. Or at least do it privately.

reply

The insults aren't even valid. They're completely nonsense.

reply

I like both of you quite a bit, but maybe the insults just seem to add to the negativity that seems to be pervading this place as of late. It's just so tiring.

reply

EVEN FOOTING NOW, JOE...I WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE YOUR WEIRD SPORTS TALK THOUGH.🙂

reply

It was fun while it lasted.

reply

YOU CAN'T USE ME AS AN OUT FROM MOVIE CLUB ANYMORE....AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU.

reply

I told you, I'm usually watching something else around that time. Maybe if there's a movie I really want to see I'll join.

reply

I AM GOING TO BUG THE SHIT OUT OF YOU EVERY WEEK...OUT OF LOVE NOW THOUGH...YOU JUST KEEP SAYING NO...IT'S COOL....BUT I AM GONNA KEEP ASKING.😉

reply

You should join every so often. (or all the time) I will say though that the chatter on a movie that's good, and that we all want to see, is a lot less than we are trashing something bad.

reply

MY END HAS BEEN A TWIST ON THE MICHAEL/TOBY RELATIONSHIP FROM THE OFFICE...BUT I HAVE BEEN LOSING INTEREST MORE AND MORE LATELY...THE AMOUNT OF NON FEUD NEGATIVITY ON HERE KIND OF RUINS IT...I'M CALLIN IT....FAUX FEUD OVER.




IF I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING NASTY AND FUCKED UP TO SOMEONE I HAVE VINCE NOW ANYWAY...HE LIKES IT.🙂

reply

I'll pretend I know what that feud is, as I still have not watched The Office, but any relief from negativity would be great. I know I'm a little sensitive to it all, but I can't really change who I am on that regard.

reply

I HAVE TRUE FRIENDS HERE THESE DAYS...YOURSELF OBVIOUSLY INCLUDED...AND I HAVE A LOT MORE FUN HAVING REAL CONVERSATIONS.

BUT SERIOUSLY....ARE YOU INSANE....WATCH THE DAMN OFFICE,WOMAN!....IT IS AMAZING.😉

reply

LOL BULLSHIT

reply

I'M DONE...I DO ENJOY BACKHANDING THE JOE'S BALLS...BUT I'M REALLY DONE...THE LAST LITTLE PIECE OF TROLLY....DUST IN THE WIND🎵


NOTICE HOW I SAID SAMOANJOKE...NEW LEAF....TODAY HAS BEEN A GOOD DAY.



AND YOU ALWAYS LAUGH...DON'T LIE...WE'RE HOMIES...LOVE YA BRO.🙂

reply

The feud was all in good fun. Neither of you ever took it seriously so, I never viewed it as negative. It always reminded me of famous TV sitcom characters ribbing each other. Sam and Diane stuff from Cheers

reply

That irony was lost on Kowalski, I guess that happens when you spend 24/7 screaming about yourself in all-caps.

reply

CHECK MY POSTS,CHAMP....I DARE YOU TO VALIDATE THE 24/7 THING...I WILL WAIT.

reply

[deleted]

I GENUINELY HOPE YOU ARE OK...AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH YOU.


THAT THREAD IS A POLITICS IMPORT...AND HARDCORE FLAMING...FILLED WITH UGLY ARGUMENTS AND RESPONSES ON A TOPIC LONG BREWING IN POLITICS POSTED BY POSTERS MOST NON POLITICAL POSTERS DON'T EVEN KNOW....I HAVE BEEN POLITE TO MELTON...HE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT RUDE AND OBTUSE....HE IS TESTING THE LIMITS.



THAT LAST BIT WAS UNCALLED FOR...YOU SHOULD KNOW AS WELL AS ANYONE HOW HARD I HAVE WORKED TO DO JUST THAT.

reply

KEEP 'WORKING'.

MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL GRADUATE FROM BEING AN ABSOLUTE CHILD.

reply

I HOPE YOU MAKE A FULL RECOVERY...MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.



😐

reply

Thanks dude.

reply

Sorry to hear you’re convalescing. I genuinely hope you get well soon. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Please give us an update because your post sounded a little ominous

reply

Thanks very much for your concern and your prayers.

reply

do you need your bottle?

reply

AND THERE IT IS.😐

reply

grow up dude. The mod gave it to you straight.

reply

SAYS THE GUY OFFERING ME A BOTTLE.😉

reply

Because you're acting like a newborn baby. People arent always going to agree with you. Stop crying and put the mean people on ignore.

reply

NONE OF THAT IS TRUE....THAT IS ALL YOUR OWN INVENTION.

PERHAPS TAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN ADVICE?

reply

ask mommy to change your diaper. That may help.

reply

YOU SEEM TO HAVE FAR MORE GROWING UP TO DO THAN I.


YOU ALSO SEEM TO HAVE PREOCCUPATION WITH DIAPERS.

reply

It must be full. Do you have to wait for your mother to get home?

reply

DO YOU ALWAYS SPEAK SO EXTENSIVELY ON DIAPERS?....IT READS AS RATHER BIZARRE.

reply

change diaper now.

reply

SO...JUST DIAPERS...THAT'S THE HILL YOU WANT TO DIE ON?

reply

change dipey now.

reply

I APPRECIATE THE POST BUMP...BUT YOU ARE KIND OF EMBARRASSING YOURSELF.

reply

change dipey

reply

YOUR LACK OF ORIGINALITY MAKES THESE RESPONSES LESS AND LESS FUN TO READ.

reply

If crap was a star you'd be the brightest piece of shit in the night sky.

reply

AWW...WHAT A WONDERFUL SENTIMENT.

reply

It's original. Now put on your huggies and shut your big yapper.

reply

BEING RUDE AND CHILDISH HAS BEEN YOUR BAG MORE THAN MINE....LOOK AROUND.

Blade13 believes it is morally acceptable to accuse people you dislike of being pedophiles, so it's a completely fair position to take regarding him.

Flat out lying now to get me to respond to him.

Directly confirmed by you here

reply

I'm not engaging with you. Just showing that you are lying.

reply

Except the actual record of what you said indicate that I am not remotely lying.

reply

That “record” doesn’t make anyone involved look good. Sad all around frankly

reply

You can respond to me anytime, big boy.

Your behavior.

I'm sorry to hear this. Hope you get well soon. 🙏

reply

Thanks very much. I'm damn lucky and appear to be headed to a full recovery, which will be followed by aggressive runs at my bucket list.

I'm not dying, but i've gained some key perspective. No more putting the important things off.

reply

I'm type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump, I battle stuff everyday that people take for granted, like eating. I'm not ready to go yet. I watched a friend die from a stroke 2 years ago and I'm still disturbed by it. If only I could give up the cigarettes. That's the next thing I'm working on.

reply

[deleted]

My A1c was 12 at its worst. My recent test was 7.1 which is pretty good thanks to the pump. I still have my off days when my BS goes to above 350 for no apparent reason. I just came out of a colonoscopy yesterday and everyone was wonderful. Nurses were awesome. Sounds like you had a nice scare. Hope you get to the bottom of it and get it under control. My best wishes.

Signed, million man

reply

Thanks, million man I am glad your scope was all-clear.

I'm planning to be here for the next million posts of yours, too. So please type slow.

“I'm not dying, but i've gained some key perspective. No more putting the important things off.”

Life is too short and reinforces how futile and unimportant internet arguments are.

reply

So true. I was actually sad today reading the angry back and forth in GENDIS and seeing more of it here. I actually find things to like about all the characters bickering in these threads and I wonder when they might give each other a break.

reply

I’ve said this before - one day we will all be gone and all that will be left are pixels on a computer screen.

reply

💐🍎❤️

reply

Better already, thanks!

reply

Get well soon.
You are very fair and decent.
Health issues are often real scary.

Thoughts for you buddy!

reply

Thanks.

“AS I SIT IN MY HOSPITAL ROOM RECOVERING FROM SOMETHING

Blimey! I hope you get better soon.

reply

Thank you, sir.

reply

Keep us updated on crossing off the bucket list. It’ll be interesting and nice to hear about.

reply

YOU TWO SHOULD TEAM UP...MAKE A TV SHOW OUT OF IT.

reply

No.1 on Netflix.

reply

I would watch this show! Andy and Mod 5 swimming with sharks, parachuting, surfing the West Coast, training for MMA…
Sounds like a big hit!!

reply

YOU KNOW ANDY...AND APPARENTLY MOD5 IS A MUSICIAN....SO YOU KNOW THE SOUNDTRACK IS GOING TO BE FIRE TOO.

reply

Andy will try to cover ELO exclusively but Mod 5 will push back with some classic Black Sabbath. Either way, we all win!

reply

I’ve probably never told you this but I have a degree in music, can play numerous instruments, can sing and write songs, was in a band and was heavily involved in the music industry until my 30s.

reply

EASY ASSUMPTION BASED ON YOUR MUSIC COLLECTION AND KNOWLEDGE.

reply

Music is my first love and it will be my last 🎼🎶

reply

Sounds like a normal day for me, lol.

reply

Will do. Some of it will be original music, so maybe it will end up in a "rate this song or else!" thread.

Hopefully I can clear 6/10.😂

reply

What instruments do you play? I have a bass guitar and I recently bought my kid a guitar for birthday. They're both Ibanez.

Signed, million man

reply

I play guitar. I also play bass well enough to get the idea across, but I'm not the arrogant "I can play guitar so I can play bass, too" guy. Very different feel and technique, especially since I dislike the feel of playing bass with a pick, but I'm not great with the fingers.

reply

Creating music is the biggest thrill you can have.

reply

Absolutely, and you can do wonders with today's technology for very little $

My problem is falling into the "95% done" trap, which is just a means of procrastination.

I recall your music biz story. Definitely one of the more interesting MC tales and one of the things that makes you an interesting guy.

reply

I remember when we first encountered a Fairlight CMI in a recording studio - it absolutely blew us all away and I remember thinking that music would be changed forever. Now you can download something similar on your phone, lol.

The music stuff was a lifetime ago now and I try not to bang on about it too much, as I don’t want people to go, ‘oh god, not this again’.

Anyway, go and create some stuff and set a deadline for completing a piece of work because you’ll never be satisfied with it and you’ll just tinker and you know what? Nobody will be able to tell the difference, lol.

reply

But I'll know the difference! Just joking, you are absolutely right and I appreciate the advice.

reply

My mother used to tell me that she played the accordion regularly while she was pregnant with me. Out of four sons, I became the musician in the family, took up the drums at a young age.

I must be psychic! A month ago, I posted in another thread that I could envision your daughter making this tribute to you some day.https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/65ff344834228844d573a3da/Who-is-the-2nd-Dean-of-MovieChat-and-what-do-we-call-them?reply=65ff83af92c5ea7f187eb366 I discovered this video just yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEWNJ8Go0C8

We should start an MC band. Found the drummer!

AK and I connected over the love of drums two years ago https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/622205df6e2fb44fe07b38ea/Favorite-drummer

reply

Clearly you've never rang on someone's doorbell and ran off before they could catch you.

reply

Or light a bag of dogshit on fire and leave it on the doorstep, ring the doorbell and run and when they come out, they begin stomping on the bag to put it out while getting dogshit on them.. Things we did as a kid in the 70's

reply

I never did the dogshit thing. Too much effort to carry that around.

reply

Please take care, moderator5.

Last week, I went to the hospital for an A1C test. The young nurse spent about a minute looking for the vein in my arm. I've been patient throughout, but I can almost hear her thinking "Maybe you should go to the gym more." while I can't help but thinking "Maybe you should show your skin more."

reply

Meh, I saw the thread but ignored it.

We've all annoyed others on here. Melton probably didn't think about posting as much as Melton should have.

reply

I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT...BUT...I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF HIS POSTS AND SPOKEN TO HIM DOZENS OF TIMES... EVERYTHING HE POSTS IS AGGRESSIVE AND MEAN.

reply

I never saw his stuff before so I'll take your word for it.

I avoid the political crap because it's already overtaken everything else. Shit, I catch myself doing it too much.

reply

AVOIDING THE POLITICAL CRAP IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY.👍🏾


ANY POLITICS I HAD IN ME HAVE BEEN BURNED OUT BY OVER THE TOPPERS LATELY.

reply

Same. I'm back to the 90s politically, where I don't give a shit about people's politics and recognize it all as the farce it is.

reply

💯

reply

You guys are funny with your left and right arguments. I just use my axe or my cock depending on the situation. And I always win.

reply

🤣


POST MORE,BRO....YOU ARE MY KIND OF WEIRD.

reply

Leave my girlfriend blade alone!

reply

😂🤣 Maybe I'll try that from now on lol.

reply

Do not take Kowalski’s word for it, that narcissistic all-caps troll (and now censor) is demonstrably full of shit. If you want to judge me then look at my post history or engage me in conversation. You’ll find I’m perfectly respectful to decent people.

reply

I took a quick glance. The amount of crying you do is worse than a baby. A Viking toddler could easily defeat you.

reply

What ‘crying’?

reply

Look at your posting history and pick something with woke in the title.

reply

I see, you don’t like people calling out your woke cult. Wokist identified.

reply

Viking identified. As for being in a cult, I don't think so. I kill Druids for breakfast.

reply

YES...PLEASE LOOK AT HIS POST HISTORY...THAT IS A GOOD IDEA,MELTON.

reply

Nope. It's better to ignore.

There's a lot of drama today.

I think everyone needs to go see a movie in the theater and leave their cell phones behind.

reply

Well I hope you take your own advice and ignore Kowalski in that case.

reply

AD IS MY HOMIE...I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GUY ON THE PHONE EVEN...SILLY MELTON.🙂

reply

I thought plenty about making my post and I stand by it. If a nefarious user is predating on other unsuspecting users I think it’s essential to call them out and make others aware of their devious tactics.

It’s been hugely positive, and reassuring to see so many others have noticed the same toxic behaviour patterns from Skavau.


Skavau, respond to this post with a load of defensive drivel in which you desperately try to claw back some credibility, forgetting that anyone can view your post history and see your mendacious tactics for themselves. Go…

reply

Except that in all the posts, the only people that agreed with you happen to from some of the same half-dozen far-right members that have always hated me, and had me on ignore for probably a year (along with half the forum in their case). Mostly everyone else responded negatively to you, to which you accused them of being woke (because of course you did).

The notion that.... arguing or debating a certain way is "predating" is a laughable concept in itself. You also seem to be so precious that you think anyone who disagrees with you on this is "nasty".

reply

Fuck off you censorious little shit

reply

HI MELTON....HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

reply

Smelton will get himself smelted eventually. Kick back grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. 🍿

Well, you’ve outed yourself as a nasty twat. What a shame.

Now, write ‘Go fuck yourself’ in reply to this to confirm that you take it deep in both ends. Go…

I knew it. Kowalski in one end and Skavau in the other?

That is disgusting, you sick bastard.

That is not what you told me.

reply

Nice dirty edit. Pussy.

reply

YOU EDITING YOUR POSTS AFTER THE FACT IS VERY UNDERHANDED AND DISINGENUOUS.

reply

There could be no greater compliment than to earn the disapproval of a creature like you.

reply

STILL BEING RUDE FOR NO REASON.

reply

Yeah, your phoney ‘how are you today?’ shtick isn’t convincing. Mod5 was right, you’re a fucking child. You disrespect him, those who built this site, and all of its users by spewing your all-caps ‘look at me!’ narcissistic drivel everywhere, derailing threads across the site.

And now you’re stooping to censoring others. Absolutely vile.

Actions speak louder than words. You’re a mendacious troll wearing a totally unconvincing mask of politeness.

Grow up.

reply

YOU ARE BEING RUDE....I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU...I NEVER HAVE...YOUR THREAD JUST BELONGS IN POLITICS...THERE IS NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS ONE SIDED FEUD.

reply

So I assume editing your posts after people reply to you to try and make it look like they're admitting to something is peak maturity, is it?

And acting like a 14 year old and accusing people of having sex with other users is an example of maturity, is it? Next you'll be bringing out the "your mum" jokes.

reply

You still mad that your sock failed to get my thread censored?

reply

You're now accusing me of being Kowalski?

reply

ARE YOU MAD THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO GET ATTENTION?

reply

Because he’s cute in the way he calls out for his posse to defend him when someone hurts his feewings 😢

I think he should be known as Melton John and the mods should build a feature that plays an audio file of The Bitch Is Back every time he posts. 🎹💅🏻

reply

Well, you’ve outed yourself as a dickhead. What a shame.

reply

Wait, I thought you’d already “identified” me as a leftist, wokist, probably a few other “ists”.. now I’m just a dickhead 😟 At least show some consistency and call me a dickist. You can do it 👍👍

reply

Really doubling down on that I see.
