Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
crows I agree that this forum is at it's most fun when it does indeed file like a community. And that's actually why I don't tiptoe around words with you like I might a newbie. When I say "don't be a dope, don't be retarded," and all that it's because of our history going back and forth in this and other threads. I do use the words to hopefully drive points home but certainly not as scathing insults or anything.
However that community spirit is undermined if certain people put attention seeking above respecting other forum members or allowing them to enjoy what they see as the positive aspects of something without constantly trying to trash the topic of discussion, prove them "wrong," convince them that what they like actually sucks, etc.
As I said the guys I actually have the most in common with here disagree with me on various films semi-regularly. But we don't go out of our way to temper each other's enthusiasm about the things we like. Because that would be lame.
