WHY IS THE MELTON THREAD STILL UP?
IT'S POLITICAL.
IT'S FLAMING.
IT'S HARASSMENT.
IT'S UGLY.
Because the moderators (2 of them?) barely check the forum, and make excuses for why the terms of use aren't enforced. They rarely remove threads. They will remove threats of violence, from what I can tell - but that's about all.
This forum is a great design (which is why I came here in the first place), a great format for discussing movies and TVs with the individual show pages imported from IMDB but it's been overrun by schizoid political extremists. It's truly sad.
Now we have a post about someone who has been gone for years and can't even defend themselves.
I freely admit that I haven't always behaved in the best way, but it's getting pretty nasty around here.
I’m becoming bored of it all.

Skavau is on this thread. Just sayin'.
share28,000!
nice!
And yet you started a thread to talk bad about that user.
shareINCORRECT...I STARTED A THREAD QUESTIONING WHY ONE POST IS LEFT UP.
shareYou should start a thread about why you're an idiot.
shareSpeaking of getting bored of shit....
shareAmen to that!! It’s getting old.
shareDo you have a better way of dealing with Kowalski and his capital letters?
shareI don't care about his all caps.
As for dealing with him, I just don't see the point of the pointless, constant digs. If you dislike him so much, ignore him. If you really want to debate him about something, don't stoop to insults. I speak to both of you on this. Or at least do it privately.
The insults aren't even valid. They're completely nonsense.
shareI like both of you quite a bit, but maybe the insults just seem to add to the negativity that seems to be pervading this place as of late. It's just so tiring.
shareEVEN FOOTING NOW, JOE...I WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE YOUR WEIRD SPORTS TALK THOUGH.🙂
shareIt was fun while it lasted.
shareYOU CAN'T USE ME AS AN OUT FROM MOVIE CLUB ANYMORE....AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
shareI told you, I'm usually watching something else around that time. Maybe if there's a movie I really want to see I'll join.
shareI AM GOING TO BUG THE SHIT OUT OF YOU EVERY WEEK...OUT OF LOVE NOW THOUGH...YOU JUST KEEP SAYING NO...IT'S COOL....BUT I AM GONNA KEEP ASKING.😉
shareYou should join every so often. (or all the time) I will say though that the chatter on a movie that's good, and that we all want to see, is a lot less than we are trashing something bad.
shareMY END HAS BEEN A TWIST ON THE MICHAEL/TOBY RELATIONSHIP FROM THE OFFICE...BUT I HAVE BEEN LOSING INTEREST MORE AND MORE LATELY...THE AMOUNT OF NON FEUD NEGATIVITY ON HERE KIND OF RUINS IT...I'M CALLIN IT....FAUX FEUD OVER.
IF I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING NASTY AND FUCKED UP TO SOMEONE I HAVE VINCE NOW ANYWAY...HE LIKES IT.🙂
I'll pretend I know what that feud is, as I still have not watched The Office, but any relief from negativity would be great. I know I'm a little sensitive to it all, but I can't really change who I am on that regard.
shareI HAVE TRUE FRIENDS HERE THESE DAYS...YOURSELF OBVIOUSLY INCLUDED...AND I HAVE A LOT MORE FUN HAVING REAL CONVERSATIONS.
BUT SERIOUSLY....ARE YOU INSANE....WATCH THE DAMN OFFICE,WOMAN!....IT IS AMAZING.😉
LOL BULLSHIT
shareI'M DONE...I DO ENJOY BACKHANDING THE JOE'S BALLS...BUT I'M REALLY DONE...THE LAST LITTLE PIECE OF TROLLY....DUST IN THE WIND🎵
NOTICE HOW I SAID SAMOANJOKE...NEW LEAF....TODAY HAS BEEN A GOOD DAY.
AND YOU ALWAYS LAUGH...DON'T LIE...WE'RE HOMIES...LOVE YA BRO.🙂
The feud was all in good fun. Neither of you ever took it seriously so, I never viewed it as negative. It always reminded me of famous TV sitcom characters ribbing each other. Sam and Diane stuff from Cheers

I GENUINELY HOPE YOU ARE OK...AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH YOU.
THAT THREAD IS A POLITICS IMPORT...AND HARDCORE FLAMING...FILLED WITH UGLY ARGUMENTS AND RESPONSES ON A TOPIC LONG BREWING IN POLITICS POSTED BY POSTERS MOST NON POLITICAL POSTERS DON'T EVEN KNOW....I HAVE BEEN POLITE TO MELTON...HE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT RUDE AND OBTUSE....HE IS TESTING THE LIMITS.
THAT LAST BIT WAS UNCALLED FOR...YOU SHOULD KNOW AS WELL AS ANYONE HOW HARD I HAVE WORKED TO DO JUST THAT.
do you need your bottle?
shareAND THERE IT IS.😐
sharegrow up dude. The mod gave it to you straight.
shareSAYS THE GUY OFFERING ME A BOTTLE.😉
shareBecause you're acting like a newborn baby. People arent always going to agree with you. Stop crying and put the mean people on ignore.
shareNONE OF THAT IS TRUE....THAT IS ALL YOUR OWN INVENTION.
PERHAPS TAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN ADVICE?
ask mommy to change your diaper. That may help.
shareYOU SEEM TO HAVE FAR MORE GROWING UP TO DO THAN I.
YOU ALSO SEEM TO HAVE PREOCCUPATION WITH DIAPERS.
It must be full. Do you have to wait for your mother to get home?
shareDO YOU ALWAYS SPEAK SO EXTENSIVELY ON DIAPERS?....IT READS AS RATHER BIZARRE.
sharechange diaper now.
shareSO...JUST DIAPERS...THAT'S THE HILL YOU WANT TO DIE ON?
sharechange dipey now.
shareI APPRECIATE THE POST BUMP...BUT YOU ARE KIND OF EMBARRASSING YOURSELF.
sharechange dipey
shareYOUR LACK OF ORIGINALITY MAKES THESE RESPONSES LESS AND LESS FUN TO READ.
shareIf crap was a star you'd be the brightest piece of shit in the night sky.
AWW...WHAT A WONDERFUL SENTIMENT.
shareIt's original. Now put on your huggies and shut your big yapper.
shareBEING RUDE AND CHILDISH HAS BEEN YOUR BAG MORE THAN MINE....LOOK AROUND.

That's not nice.

Blade13 believes it is morally acceptable to accuse people you dislike of being pedophiles, so it's a completely fair position to take regarding him.
share"Blade13 believes it is morally acceptable to accuse people you dislike of being pedophiles, so it's a completely fair position to take regarding him."
Flat out lying now to get me to respond to him.
You can respond to me anytime, big boy.
shareI'm sorry to hear this. Hope you get well soon. 🙏
Signed, million man
Thanks very much. I'm damn lucky and appear to be headed to a full recovery, which will be followed by aggressive runs at my bucket list.
I'm not dying, but i've gained some key perspective. No more putting the important things off.
I'm type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump, I battle stuff everyday that people take for granted, like eating. I'm not ready to go yet. I watched a friend die from a stroke 2 years ago and I'm still disturbed by it. If only I could give up the cigarettes. That's the next thing I'm working on.
share[deleted]
My A1c was 12 at its worst. My recent test was 7.1 which is pretty good thanks to the pump. I still have my off days when my BS goes to above 350 for no apparent reason. I just came out of a colonoscopy yesterday and everyone was wonderful. Nurses were awesome. Sounds like you had a nice scare. Hope you get to the bottom of it and get it under control. My best wishes.

“I'm not dying, but i've gained some key perspective. No more putting the important things off.”
Life is too short and reinforces how futile and unimportant internet arguments are.
So true. I was actually sad today reading the angry back and forth in GENDIS and seeing more of it here. I actually find things to like about all the characters bickering in these threads and I wonder when they might give each other a break.
shareI’ve said this before - one day we will all be gone and all that will be left are pixels on a computer screen.
share“AS I SIT IN MY HOSPITAL ROOM RECOVERING FROM SOMETHING
YOU DON'T GET TWO SHOTS AT”
Blimey! I hope you get better soon.
Thank you, sir.
shareKeep us updated on crossing off the bucket list. It’ll be interesting and nice to hear about.
shareYOU TWO SHOULD TEAM UP...MAKE A TV SHOW OUT OF IT.
shareNo.1 on Netflix.
shareI would watch this show! Andy and Mod 5 swimming with sharks, parachuting, surfing the West Coast, training for MMA…
Sounds like a big hit!!
YOU KNOW ANDY...AND APPARENTLY MOD5 IS A MUSICIAN....SO YOU KNOW THE SOUNDTRACK IS GOING TO BE FIRE TOO.
shareAndy will try to cover ELO exclusively but Mod 5 will push back with some classic Black Sabbath. Either way, we all win!
shareI’ve probably never told you this but I have a degree in music, can play numerous instruments, can sing and write songs, was in a band and was heavily involved in the music industry until my 30s.
shareSounds like a normal day for me, lol.
shareWill do. Some of it will be original music, so maybe it will end up in a "rate this song or else!" thread.
Hopefully I can clear 6/10.😂
What instruments do you play? I have a bass guitar and I recently bought my kid a guitar for birthday. They're both Ibanez.
Signed, million man
I play guitar. I also play bass well enough to get the idea across, but I'm not the arrogant "I can play guitar so I can play bass, too" guy. Very different feel and technique, especially since I dislike the feel of playing bass with a pick, but I'm not great with the fingers.
Creating music is the biggest thrill you can have.
shareAbsolutely, and you can do wonders with today's technology for very little $
My problem is falling into the "95% done" trap, which is just a means of procrastination.
I recall your music biz story. Definitely one of the more interesting MC tales and one of the things that makes you an interesting guy.
I remember when we first encountered a Fairlight CMI in a recording studio - it absolutely blew us all away and I remember thinking that music would be changed forever. Now you can download something similar on your phone, lol.
The music stuff was a lifetime ago now and I try not to bang on about it too much, as I don’t want people to go, ‘oh god, not this again’.
Anyway, go and create some stuff and set a deadline for completing a piece of work because you’ll never be satisfied with it and you’ll just tinker and you know what? Nobody will be able to tell the difference, lol.
But I'll know the difference! Just joking, you are absolutely right and I appreciate the advice.
shareMy mother used to tell me that she played the accordion regularly while she was pregnant with me. Out of four sons, I became the musician in the family, took up the drums at a young age.
I must be psychic! A month ago, I posted in another thread that I could envision your daughter making this tribute to you some day.https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/65ff344834228844d573a3da/Who-is-the-2nd-Dean-of-MovieChat-and-what-do-we-call-them?reply=65ff83af92c5ea7f187eb366 I discovered this video just yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEWNJ8Go0C8
We should start an MC band. Found the drummer!

shareClearly you've never rang on someone's doorbell and ran off before they could catch you.
shareOr light a bag of dogshit on fire and leave it on the doorstep, ring the doorbell and run and when they come out, they begin stomping on the bag to put it out while getting dogshit on them.. Things we did as a kid in the 70's
shareI never did the dogshit thing. Too much effort to carry that around.
sharePlease take care, moderator5.
Last week, I went to the hospital for an A1C test. The young nurse spent about a minute looking for the vein in my arm. I've been patient throughout, but I can almost hear her thinking "Maybe you should go to the gym more." while I can't help but thinking "Maybe you should show your skin more."
Meh, I saw the thread but ignored it.
We've all annoyed others on here. Melton probably didn't think about posting as much as Melton should have.
I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT...BUT...I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF HIS POSTS AND SPOKEN TO HIM DOZENS OF TIMES... EVERYTHING HE POSTS IS AGGRESSIVE AND MEAN.
shareI never saw his stuff before so I'll take your word for it.
I avoid the political crap because it's already overtaken everything else. Shit, I catch myself doing it too much.
Do not take Kowalski’s word for it, that narcissistic all-caps troll (and now censor) is demonstrably full of shit. If you want to judge me then look at my post history or engage me in conversation. You’ll find I’m perfectly respectful to decent people.
shareI took a quick glance. The amount of crying you do is worse than a baby. A Viking toddler could easily defeat you.
shareYES...PLEASE LOOK AT HIS POST HISTORY...THAT IS A GOOD IDEA,MELTON.
shareNope. It's better to ignore.
There's a lot of drama today.
I think everyone needs to go see a movie in the theater and leave their cell phones behind.
I thought plenty about making my post and I stand by it. If a nefarious user is predating on other unsuspecting users I think it’s essential to call them out and make others aware of their devious tactics.
It’s been hugely positive, and reassuring to see so many others have noticed the same toxic behaviour patterns from Skavau.
Skavau, respond to this post with a load of defensive drivel in which you desperately try to claw back some credibility, forgetting that anyone can view your post history and see your mendacious tactics for themselves. Go…
Except that in all the posts, the only people that agreed with you happen to from some of the same half-dozen far-right members that have always hated me, and had me on ignore for probably a year (along with half the forum in their case). Mostly everyone else responded negatively to you, to which you accused them of being woke (because of course you did).
The notion that.... arguing or debating a certain way is "predating" is a laughable concept in itself. You also seem to be so precious that you think anyone who disagrees with you on this is "nasty".
Fuck off you censorious little shit
shareHI MELTON....HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
shareSmelton will get himself smelted eventually. Kick back grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. 🍿
Signed, million man
Yeah, your phoney ‘how are you today?’ shtick isn’t convincing. Mod5 was right, you’re a fucking child. You disrespect him, those who built this site, and all of its users by spewing your all-caps ‘look at me!’ narcissistic drivel everywhere, derailing threads across the site.
And now you’re stooping to censoring others. Absolutely vile.
Actions speak louder than words. You’re a mendacious troll wearing a totally unconvincing mask of politeness.
Grow up.
YOU ARE BEING RUDE....I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU...I NEVER HAVE...YOUR THREAD JUST BELONGS IN POLITICS...THERE IS NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS ONE SIDED FEUD.
shareSo I assume editing your posts after people reply to you to try and make it look like they're admitting to something is peak maturity, is it?
And acting like a 14 year old and accusing people of having sex with other users is an example of maturity, is it? Next you'll be bringing out the "your mum" jokes.
Because he’s cute in the way he calls out for his posse to defend him when someone hurts his feewings 😢
I think he should be known as Melton John and the mods should build a feature that plays an audio file of The Bitch Is Back every time he posts. 🎹💅🏻
