Exactly!

Yeah. EVERY time you're misunderstood, it's every else's fault.

Chap, perhaps you should consider HOW you say things. It's not just me. I can provide a few hundred examples if you would like.

Please do.

Par for the course, and I didn't even do anything! It wasn't meant to sound like a lectured tone. But if that's the way you want to look at it, that's your prerogative, but don't expect whining to change anything.

So, you're saying you don't rub other members the wrong way, that you don't come off as condescending?

That you don't think you could have said what you 'meant' to say without making it sound like I don't have sufficient cognitive abilities???

Please, you're taking a comment waaaay out of proportion and turning it into a battle that you have no ammunition in. When did I say I never rub members the wrong way?? I'll never deny your accusations because in the past I've been guilty. But not this time, and actually not in quite a while. If you wish to drag this out, fine. If you wish to ban me, that's fine too. Just let me know if you do. You really should stop overreacting man.

 

[Cheesebeef]

you guys are so cute when you fight.

First, I'm not going to ban you. Now who's over reacting.

Second you've admitted to it in the past, but suddenly there's no way you could do it now?

Third, you could have said what you 'meant' to say better than 'think about what you wrote' as if I can't or don't possess the proper cognitive abilities. Give me a break.

As to me blowing it out of proportion, did it ever occur to say something other than 'sheesh! take a pill already'. Something like 'oh, sorry' or 'I didn't mean it like that.' Or isn't it in your make up to admit wrongdoing?

You demand respect. Maybe you'll get some if you give some.

You're just jealous.

Ok, that pretty much sums everything up. You took the comment the wrong way. Majorly the wrong way. Get over it. I am.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Guys, don't make me use the force on ya.



BIM

Oh my goodness!

Yeah, I took it the wrong way. You didn't SAY it the wrong way.

And because you apparently didn't READ the rest of my post, here it is again:

I'm done with you.

 

[WaywardFan]

I'm done with you.

Translation: My hubris does not allow me to admit wrongdoing, for I am above such things. I only correspond here to show the little people what it's like to be me.



Thanks for the apology, and the recognition that it might have been you and not me that didn't breach the intended communication gap correctly.

 

[Mulli]

Excellent use of the word "hubris" on a message board. Very Alec Guiness Obi Wan-like. Good show, Master Wayward.

I'm sorry you took it the wrong way, but I'm not sorry for defending myself against your unprovoked attack.

 

[WaywardFan]

I'm sorry you took it the wrong way, but I'm not sorry for defending myself against your unprovoked attack.

If you said it wrong, it wasn't unprovoked.

I thought you were done with me??

 

[Chaplin]

True, I was done with you, but you just keep on attacking, and it's fun!

Your jedi mind tricks aren't working on me Wayward...

 

[WaywardFan]

True, I was done with you, but you just keep on attacking, and it's fun!

Not attacking, not at all. I'm responding.

But then again, you still can't conceive of the possibility it might be your fault.

Your jedi mind tricks aren't working on me Wayward...

I think that says more about you than me.

Give it a rest. I'm not going to bend just because you keep crying about it. And who cares about fault anyway?

The point is, Kevin Smith is a biased opinion, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[WaywardFan]

Well, obviously not you. That would mean you'd have to admit fault.

The point is, Kevin Smith is a biased opinion, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.

And there you have it, boys and girls! What he could have initially said!! How long did that take??

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Wasn't it rumored that Kevin Smith was responsible for the "Phantom Edit"...??

Phantom Edit - the version of Episode I with most of Jar Jar's scenes and some of the cutesy dialogue edited/deleted.

Have you ever actually seen that? I always thought it was an urban legend.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Have you ever actually seen that? I always thought it was an urban legend.

I've never seen it, but remember hearing a lot about it, especially from the official site.

Here's the wikipedia page about it: Phantom Edit

The Phantom Edit is a re-edited version of the Star Wars film The Phantom Menace, removing elements of the original widely thought to be unsuccessful by critics and adult fans. The purpose of this edit, according to the editor, was to make a much stronger film than what was released by George Lucas. The changes included:

* removing most of Jar-Jar Binks' scenes
* limiting exposition such as the discussion of midi-chlorians
* trimming reiteration of the politics
* re-arranging shots and scenes
* removing "Yippee" and "Oops" from young Anakin's dialog

It was originally circulated on the internet and acclaimed as providing a more focused and better paced version of the film. It is now available on VHS and DVD as well. The DVD contains two deleted scenes and a commentary track by the editor as well as a few easter eggs.

Rumour attributed it to Kevin Smith, probably because his films frequently refer to the Star Wars mythos and he edits his own films. Smith admitted to having seen it but denied that he was the editor. The editor was revealed to be Mike J. Nichols of Santa Clarita, California in the September 7th, 2001 Washington Post. Nichols is also known for his work on indie hit, My Father's House.

This version coined the phrase "Phantom Edit." It was the first to receive any publicity, although there is debate as to whether it was the first version created.

Despite rumours, no lawsuits were filed against Nichols, nor did he sell or make any money from the edit. The editor claims, "I am not a bootlegger!"

I've got to find this.
