To defend Skip: while he puts basically the whole DB in his wishlist to micromanage things and is frequently a jackass, he does do a lot of valuable work. I recommend appreciating his contributions and ignoring him when he weighs in on the rules. There are many, many people who do valuable work to Profiler, and don't act like jackasses. Skip shouldn't get a free pass on being a bigot and a bully just because he's written (or helped write) a few rules that most people can't understand, anyway. | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

A DVD Profiler with Skip is just Skip Profiler a DVD Profiler without a Skip is a real DVD Profiler where change can happen and every one can contribute without one guys mad ideas of how things should be done getting in the way. Without defending anyone, having just one interpretation of the rules would be very advantageous. It seems to me that there's lots of wasted effort around here trying to rectify prior contributions. --------------- |

I recommend appreciating his contributions and ignoring him when he weighs in on the rules. Unfortunately, you could also look at it as being a quasi example of the Law of Diminishing Returns. I'd fathom a guess that the amount of potential contributions from contributors that have left because of him, far exceeds the amount of work he's put into it. Sorry, but my violin plays no sonatas for him, but wholeheartedly would perform a requiem. |

A DVD Profiler with Skip is just Skip Profiler a DVD Profiler without a Skip is a real DVD Profiler where change can happen and every one can contribute without one guys mad ideas of how things should be done getting in the way. I'm not trying to defend Skip since I agree he goes way over the line sometimes and needs to calm his ego just a tad in many of his posts, but FilmAlba...You are just as offensive in many of your posts as he is and only gives him fuel to his argument that he is attacked far more than he attacks others. And in the defense of Martian, he only comes off as in Skip's defense many times due to them both being veterans of the program and having like minded understandings due to that long time intimacy with it's workings. He on the other hand, in my opinion, doesn't get offensive in his posts and merely posts his opinions which is why he has a well deserved 3 stars under his name. While I don't always agree with his stance, I do respect his opinion. As far as I'm concerned, you and Skip are in the same boat and at the very least, while not an excuse for his behavior, has put forth one heck of an effort at making this program what it is today. Something you have not. | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire |

| | Posted: | | | | Now for those idiots here who have chosen to attack and insult me. Let me exoplain somnething further, had it been ANYONE of you who did what Dan W and myself did. I would behave in the manner in which any of you have chosen to behave (frankly like a pack of jackasses) and I'll pick one of you to illustrate my point. Let's say it was Antares who did what we did and wsa saying what i have said, and you were behaving towards him in like manner. I would be saying to you and in defense of HIM that he is in a position to have a clearer understanding of what was designed than myself or any of you, so in the absence of any input from Ken, shut up and listen to Antares. The reasion that you attack is because you are childish and simply do not want to have to follow Rules and are desperate to be able to create your own interpretations that can let you do what you wish.
The behavior here is so disgusting, utterly idiotic and utterly childish as to be an insult to the intelligence of everyone of you. None of you do yourselves any credit...at all.
