Ok. Lately it's been a little testy round here. There's been more arguing and less discussing. I am a part of that problem. I've been looking for things to get angry at. I've been picking fights and not backing down. So here's my pledge to you, my internet friends. I'll stop being so damn argumentative. I'll return to being Junior 1.0. Reboot the system. You wanna hate on a trailer irrationally? HAVE AT IT! You wanna use a bunch of pictures to say nothing? PLEASE DO! I'll smile and walk on by. Or I'll drop a little joke. But you'll see no more arguing from me, because I hate it in myself. Unless you say that it's been a bad year for film. Then all bets are off.

Sounds good, Jr.  :)

When not interested in somebody's post, I usually just ignore it. Unless someone is being abusive, I generally don't see the point in making a stink. Debate is good, but let's not confuse it with pettiness. This whole thing is supposed to be fun. Let's not chase away our most awesome contributors with bad vibes.

We all need to calm down and observe the ways of Corndog. He's probably the most chill person I've ever encountered, on the internet or off.

Me? Well, I'm just naturally argumentative. I'll try to dial down a notch though.

I've been telling you guys, one-liners are the way to go when posting. They don't even have to be funny.  ::)

AAAustin and Jim Brown are excellent at that. 

I can't seem to do that.  And SoF, you seem to have an issue with posting anything under two pages, single spaced.  Although I will say that your reviews, while encyclopedic, are great reading.

I always go with the more the better. Mainly because they are from my blog first and foremost, so I often see how it looks space-wise there before I copy and paste it for here (where it always looks like I wrote a lot more).

I also seem to type out everything that comes to my head, which is why I'll often include info that doesn't really pertain to my actual thoughts on the film (such as thoughts on the directors, actors, behind-the-scenes, etc.).

I have the tendency of going just at the speed limit when I see someone I consider to be tailgaiting me, even though my default is usually a modest amount over the speed limit.

I do the same thing. Stick to 5 mph over generally, never really any more, unless the flow of traffic dictates otherwise. Usually that happens on highways.
