Quit trying to incite eachother in to arguments.
Quit making threads calling out "Lovers", "Haters", whatevers... it's not constructive. It's trolling pure and simple.
From now on any threads labelled as such will be closed.
Opinions can be asked for without calling for one particular "group" out. There is absoloutely no need for it. Neither "side" seems to be able to conduct themselves with tact or restraint in said threads for long. Why? They're starting off on completely the wrong foot. You post aggressively, you get aggression in kind.
So let's at least try and start things on the right foot from now on and let the shitstorms occur as naturally as can be rather than waving the red rag at the proverbial bull.
Thanks for taking the time to read. |

I'm actually kinda ashamed that I accidentally propagated this when I started a thread with "hater" in the title earlier today. I figured that it was the accepted terminology for those who didn't like the film. I guess I could have done a little more research, huh?   |

I hate Transformers. I've been hating Transformers since 1985... and I have the toys, comics, videos and DVD's to prove it.
Independant thought in a fandom can be an unwelcome and dangerous thing.

I think as fans we are all pretty capable of forgiving/forgeting

#7 | | What? Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 505 | What's been described in the first post is why I stopped posting in this forum. I personally am not a fan of the film, but I did like certain aspects. I certainly don't want to be labelled a "hater", and I don't see the point of labelling others as "lovers". Come see my blog. | |

According to one thread in particular, I was supposedly a hater even though I enjoyed my time with the film well enough. The logic, overall, was totally broken. | |
