Douglas is right it is punks like you who don't know any better that got Nino kicked off this board and i would much rather hear Douglas, or Nino than you any day.
You mad bro? I see we're back in kindergarten again. At least when Chicago Dog bit into someone here it spoke with intelligence, complete and correctly punctuated sentences.
I think you are dillusional and need to see a psychiatrist, psychologist or whatever it takes to fix your mental issue. Do you even comprehend what you said? How do you function in today's society or this insane, evolving production world thinking and making reckless statements like that? If I had called you or some of the other overly sensitive types here a punk, you or they would have run to the teacher (Big K) like a little kid and demanded that I be reprimanded or banned. You're probably going to whine to him about this very reply because that's how controlling and hypocritical you are. Well, I got news for ya, you don't call the shots here and it's a good thing too! If it was up to people like you and others like you, it would be even more of an oppressed graveyard than it already is. Thankfully, Big K has more of a life, a level head and common sense than you and others here.
Over the past few years, I've taken weeks, months and as much as 2 yrs away from this place because of work, the lack of diverse, engaging content and because of the nauseating, exclusive backpatting, highfiving, go along to get along, club atmosphere that exists on every board. Anyway, I just returned in the last 2 weeks from an 8 month hiatus, and once again as before, I see few new conversations and the SAME small group of people talking and arguing about much of the same thing. So it ain't just me pal.
But according to you, it's others' fault that a person gets banned? Really? It clearly sounds like you are someone who has been told they can do no wrong their entire life and that it's everybody elses fault. Apparently who you mentioned getting banned happened during one of my extended abscenses from this board so I was unaware. But did it ever occur to you that a person is usually removed because an owner is displeased or an overwhelming number of complaints by many others caused it prompting the owner to agree and act on it? What does that tell you, huh? It doesn't matter if the person in question is 100% right, if the majority or consensus doesn't recognize that or the right and helpful comments of the accused have enough negative side effects, it doesn't matter how right that one person is, they will be removed. So, it's that person's repeated actions or comments got them removed not anyone else. Do you get that? I agreed with most of what he said and he never openly criticized or attacked me. Again, it's a good thing that Big K is fair and has the final word to override the exclusive, eccentric club mentality.
It's more than clear that the two people you mentioned are very experienced & accomplished in their careers and I certainly acknowledge and highly respect that but I don't have to constantly praise them and sniff their tails like a dog to affirm it. I've been a part of and have some notable professional accomplishments myself and I don't care if you or anybody else believes it or not. Do you really live your life idolizing, deifying and worshiping only two people on this board and in this industry thinking they are the only ones that know everything there is to know? If so, you're cutting yourself short which is narrow minded and explains your bizarre response but it's not the way I exist. I've had the absolute privelage to stand inches or a few feet from, along with rare brief conversations with a few of the most amazing A-list feature film and tv XPs, directors, DPs, camera/steadicam/jib/crane operators, audio mixers, boom ops, ACs, loaders, gaffers, key grips, crafty, etc along with a few tv and film actors in the entire industry that makes tv news, magazines, etc look like romper room. So don't you dare lecture me on who the best is, you got that? It is becoming abundantly clear that if you don't go by the templated script here and bow to a certain few, you're exiled into oblivion. But I tell it like it is and if you don't like it, don't read it.
