The account going into cryo sleep will have to suffice then in that case so hopefully i can find where to do this or do you have to do this yourselves ?

I can do it right now if you want.

That would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Peter - don't go!

Thats very kind but enough is enough .

« on: 12 July, 2011, 03:43:01 PM »

This doesnt seem to be an active feature despite it being explained in the help section regarding profiles.I have gone all through the help section and on my account settings and forum profile so i am not clear what is going on here.

It does mention that Admin can disable or remove the feature so am i supposed to request that my profile/account is deleted or do i just let it continue to exist as an active account even if its not wanted ?

Not sure what to do next........

Any help is appreciated.

As Jim Campbell said, I increasingly feel I'm out of step with this board. I don't come round too often anyway. This isn't a flounce off, or a big announcement - I'll still pop back and say hello - but I think it's moved beyond me.

By the way, I do intend to go to the comics event Peter mentioned before, and I am happy to encounter him at it. If he carries out his threat of violence, I'll be sure to post the results here.

- Trout

There was never a threat of violence apart from one that you chose to read into it but it was ambiguous so thats fair enough but the fact is i am not interested in violence as telling you what i think of you will be enough.having said that its a long time away and i may drop out before then but if i dont i would prefer it if the whole thing was dropped which it seems like it has been anyway by the looks of things.I am saying that there may be an opportunity for you to say what you think in person.I am not desperate to talk to you and i would rather move on from the whole thing.

Thats my position on that but i have to draw the line at being called certain things as its unnacceptable.Being told that i am wrong or paranoid or ill informed and being wrong headed or whatever is one thing but slander/libel is another.I dont want to hear it or read it again.

If you had your way this thread would not exist which seems like a very intolerant and authoritarian attitude plus the fact that you dont respect others views.

As for this thread the problem is really my views on this thread rather than the thread itself and while i can still say what i want like everyone else i have a kind of pragmatic attitude to it all now where i dont really think its worth continuing anymore as it gets to the point that its no longer enjoyable or productive.Too much "overt politicising" rahter than just conversation on my part.

I had already dropped out of this thread because i could feel something was building up.

I do think that certain individuals here who throw around terms like "paranoid" are in some kind of denial of reality or reality prison.Like i said earlier this thread isnt called what its called for nothing.

Film & TV / Re: Hobo with a Shotgun trailer

« on: 10 July, 2011, 04:27:31 PM »

A deeply philosophical film that explores, denounces and then rejects the totalitarian individualism of Neo Liberal capitilist ideaology replacing it instead with the revolutionary counter claim that to err is human and therefore the only way to discover our inner humanity is by blowing people away with a bloody great shotgun.

I feel this film.

Intellectualising mindless gratuitious violence doesnt make it alright .



 

Not sure if this film is for me really but its good to see RH back.I could never work out RH as he is a brilliant actor with an amazing presence and look but he quite often chose to star in films that were not always very good so he always seemed like a wasted talent to me.

"Since you wont retract your petty minded and vindictive and incorrect statement"

You didn't ask me to, Einstein.

"you chose to single me out"

You tend to do that yourself with your conduct. You come across as wound a little too tight.

"you chose to slander"

It's not slander. It's my opinion, which I am entitled to express. The law of defamation allows me to. I would also suggest that we have plenty of evidence on this website that you are indeed a right-wing extremist. Therefore it is true and cannot be slander.
By the way, you mean "libel". Slander is verbal defamation. Libel is published material.

"Why is my comment "None too bright" then Fishface ?"

How do you keep an idiot in suspense? I'll tell you tomorrow.

"your mentality and political outlook"

You know nothing about me. I don't get involved in your political rantings on this board. I tend to talk about comics, not politics. It's a comics board, even though you ignore that and shout your nonsense as loudly as you can, while you seek attention.

Anyone that opposes your own worldview is a "right wing extremist".

No, people who oppose my worldview are people who are different from me. I respect their opinions.
A right-wing extremist is someone who rants about empires and emperors and pulls craziness out of the air whenever he feels like it. That would be you, then. You strange man.

National newspapers are one of the forums that i dont take seriously.

Ah, get blacklisted, did you? You probably shouldn't have used green ink.

Try not to wet the bed.

Now you're hurting my feelings. 


I remember when this site was about comics. Why do we allow people like Peter Wolf to fill it with shit? Does he even read 2000AD?

- Trout

I didnt expect you to retract the comment even if i did ask you.

As for being a "right wing extremist" you had better to cite some of the evidence that you talk about to back up your opinion.As far as i understand it "right wing extremism" consists of Racism and Nationalism and anti - immigration etc and unfortunately for you i dont fit that description and further to that there is no evidence to support your "opinion" anywhere either here or elsewhere online.Thats a very harsh opinion to have of someone to throw around on a public forum without any evidence to back it up especially if others who read that comment jump to conclusions after reading it.

If you say its an "opinion" then you dont sound like you are absolutely certain which makes it libellous so you really ought to know better as you are on thin ice.You have a right to slander but you also have a right to face the consequences of slandering and i am going to get advice on this and i am prepared to act on that advice.

If you want to continue to slander and libel then feel free but i can and will warn you not to after talking to a lawyer about it so its your choice.........

This is both slander and libel as its verbal defamation that you have published.

"you know nothing about me"

You know nothing about me other than what i type and what i want you to know so it seems that i cant comment about yourself but you can comment about myself with comments that are based on your own personal prejudices.

"while you seek attention"

Whats the point in typing a comment if its not to seek attention ?

"No people who oppose my worldview are people who are different to me.I respect their opinions"

Thats interesting because i am being treated with complete and utter disrespect by you at present and its not the first time either so that makes you a complete hypocrite.You dont seem to understand what the definition of a right wing extremist is either judging by the utter tripe that you just posted to explain your thinking.Followed by another comment that proves that i am being prejudiced against by yourself.

"aah get blacklisted did you etc"

Not possible since i have never registered myself as a member of any newspaper comments section but again you think you know better.I often read the comments left by others.Nor have i ever written to a newspaper or signed up to any newspaper forum.

"sensitive".  Thats ironic since you chose to post a libellous/slanderous comment in an RIP thread right after someone else posted a comment to mark the passingt of their girlfriends mother which in my mind is totally insensitive and disrespectful and whats more you posted that comment with a view to getting a reaction that you knew you would get which is why i directed you here instead rather than there.

"I remember when this site was about comics. Why do we allow people like Peter Wolf to fill it with shit? Does he even read 2000AD?"

Last time you tried this shit you and i were banned temporarily* and i was only banned as well to make it fair as it was more about your back seat moderation that was the problem.Its not up to you what is allowed here and if there is a problem with my presence here then its up to the admin and owners of the website to point it out and so far they havent.So in the meantime start your own fucking forum if you want to decide what is and isnt allowed.

*I even got an email from one of the admin afterwards that was supportive btw.

This website still is about comics etc and i already have admitted that despite my interest in comics which is limited i talk about politics too much but in places where you can easily avoid my comments if you choose to.

Finally reading between the lines i know exactly what is going onbetween yourselves and what prompted this reaction from yourself and if you or anyone else wants to continue this in person instead of being on the end of an internet connection then you will have to wait until next March then we will see what you are made of and how far you want to push your luck.

If you have any commonsense then you will not continue with anymore of this BS.

If I'm honest, at that point, I'd have been happy to see the back of her.  Not something I'm especially proud of in hindsight.

It was probably something that was understandable at that point in time so you shouldnt feel bad about it

Its good to have some good news for once.One down - more to go............

Think of all those trees that will be saved.

Sensitive.

It's none too bright an attitude for right-wing extremists like you, though, Peter. Usually, national newspapers are the only forum where anyone takes you seriously.

- Trout

Since you wont retract your petty minded and vindictive and incorrect statement that you chose to leave in an obitury thread i will correct it and point out that its complete crap.My comment is no different to many other comments regarding the NOW and Murdoch yet you chose to single me out and not only that but you chose to slander.

Is my comment any less sensitive than all of the others ?

Why is my comment "None too bright" then Fishface ?

BTW i do realise that "Right -wing extremist" is a typical and well used term of abuse from those such as yourself of your mentality and political outlook.Anyone that opposes your own worldview is a "right wing extremist".

National newspapers are one of the forums that i dont take seriously or not Murdoch rags that i am glad to see the back of and if thats insensitive then you can stuff it.

Flytrap from Bad Company for the Weekly TAB, Trees and Plants theme.

Just curious if your artwork is digital or physical art as it doesnt look as if it is digital.

Also the Neil Ford artwork shows a positive aspect of digital art with the cross hatching effect that would be difficult and time consuming if it done with ink on paper.

9/11 Road Trip:

The BBC are airing a documentary on 9/11 in September to debunk 9/11 conspiracies featuring Charlie Veitch[the love police] as the presenter to discover the truth about 9/11.Some of you may have heard of Charlie Veitch while others may not have.I have heard of him and i have to say that i never liked him as i think he is a bit of a Tit with his stupid shouting through a megaphone and claiming that what he was saying was biting and scathing satire when it was student level juvenile rubbish of no use to anyone like an idiot.

Charlie Veitch is well known in the truth movement and he was recently arrested and detained for publicising that he was going to disrupt the recent royal wedding so he was arrested before the event and then complained about it as well as his girlfriend whining about it on alternative media websites which was a bit daft because its obvious that if he had kept his mouth shut then he wouldnt have been arrested and would have been able to protest.Charlie actively seeks publicity and always has done so it makes me wonder if Truth and protesting was just a vehicle for publicity in the first place.

Anyway Charlie being an enthusiastic "Truther" was hired by the BBC to present this forthcoming documentary airing in September to commemorate 9/11 and the BBC commissioned the documentary with a view to debunking 9/11 conspiracies as its very very very very very unlikely that the BBC would air a 9/11 documentary that was supportive of 9/11 conspiracies so it seems unlikely that Charlie was going to go with the 9/11 conspiracies on camera as the documentary wouldnt have been shown on TV and Charlie wouldnt have been paid so it seems that despite Charlie being shown evidence that was utterly compelling while in New York as per the official version of events he must have signed up knowing what the remit of the documentary was or he wouldnt have signed up or been hired if he was against it so it was all a foregone conclusion while Charlie was/is claiming to be objective about it all.

Further to that he cant have been open minded about it all as if compelling evidence was presented during filming that supported the official version of events then it would be undeniable if you are objective about it all but Charlie talks of being a member of the 9/11 truth movement and then Charlie describes it as being like a member of a cult.If you had your mind changed by being shown compelling evidence that supported the official version of events which is fair enough then there wouldnt be any reason to describe the 9/11 truth movement as being a cult afterwards because surely up to the point of being shown the compelling evidence he would have had no problem with being a "truther" as it was up until that point something that was completely legitimate ??

I dont like him but he can think and say what he likes and no one is saying that he cant but its tempting to think that the authorities had words with him while he was detained as he had been under surveillance for some time.

Its going to cause a shitstorm in the truth movement [its already started] and Charlie wont be taken seriously by the truth movement anymore so he will probably become a TV presenter instead but he wont be able to complain about being called a sellout and a shill.

What evidence was he shown that was so utterly compelling that isnt already freely available that he wont discuss ?

A Kickstarter project began to raise money for a new anthology: Womanthology, with an all-female creative line-up. They were looking to raise $20k in 30 days, they ended up raising $27k overnight and are now at $39k with 29 days left to run:

www.comicsbeat.com/2011/07/08/womanthology-raises-27000-overnight-are-you-listening-marvel-and-dc/

There is clearly an interest in this kind of thing out there.

Thats pretty good going in terms of raising funds that quickly and that much but i thought that it was over once you had raised the funds that you were after but it seems not and if people want to keep giving them cash then why stop ?

Is this Kickstart thing a bit of a fad in terms of it being new and is there a possibility that people will lose interest in it at some future point in time or will it go the opposite way ?

I know they get something back in return [hopefully] but i hope that its not something that will be exploited by scammers but i guess thats inevitable but its good that funding can be generated without appealing to bigshots.

Gaddafi Peterwolf is a paranoid idiot without the sense to fuck off when he should.

Fixed that for you, mate.

Now go and fix your face.

Peter wins the thread!

As well as losing the thread by denying that i hadnt done something when i thought that i had.Or something like that but i am a bit confused about it all.

I will post one more comment about something else then i am opting out of this thread for a bit as its getting to be a bit much.

I cant think of any other way to critique the art on the cover other than to say it has a kind of Pop Art look about it partly because of the bright colors and its weird but in a good way.The Beauty and the Beast typeface doesnt really fit with the rest of it unfortunately.

I am tempted to give this a try.
