I misunderstood you, sorry. But I made ONE comment and you chose to jump into the middle of it. Trust me, my friend you don't know half of what you believe yoou know about me, or what makes me tick. I don't want to fight with you or anyone else, but as I said to Neill; I have been beaten far too long expect NOTHING from me, UNTIL you (generic) are willing to behave in a manner which is consistent with the way you want to be treated. There are some here who are beyond hope, and I shan't be naming them, nor will I go into details, it would be far too long. Enough is enough. Get off my back and stop sniping at everything (literally) that I say.

You(generic) can't handle the TRUTH!!!

I hope that this post will close those sterile discussions.

First, I never said I do not want rules at all, I said that strict application of  rules that are too precise was not a good thing. But as my statements are always distorted to try to mask my opinion, by one user that posts fifteen times more than me, I stupidly tried to explain my position. I apologize for that.

I made all this fuss because I wanted to alert about a situation that I found bad for Invelos. As I write DVD critics on a french site (I've been read nearly 400 000 times), and as I promoted DVD profiler on the  forum of the same site, I received posts of people who do not speak english and say they are fed up to have their contributions refused with comments that they did not understand. I think this is a bad sign that DVDs as "300", "Fur", "Spider-man 3" or"Death Proof" have not yet been contributed, though in the past the french community was very active. For saying that I was just called a whiner.

I tried to be positive, proposing a system that could solve both problems of contributions (too much ping pong changes in places where there are many contributors, and lack of first contribution in other places). Skip promptly used his wonderful skill to make the thread go wrong. I stupidly tried another time, and got the same result. I also apologize for that.

I just sent here a translation that could be a good base to solve runmovies's demand, and I just got the usual Skip's attacks, hidden behind chosen hypocrite words (thanks to the new system, he stopped direct insults, and writes he "likes" me while sending floods of venom). I remember that when I said that first contribution should be as complete as possible, I became the target of people who said that if they wanted to send a profile without cast list and overview, it was their right. But it seems that I've not the right to send "only" 90% of a long translation.

I hope long life to this marvellous tool which is dvdprofiler...

Bybye. I'll miss some of you, but one person threw me away.

Don't Turn Around Der Commissar's In Town!

No, that isn't it...

There's a new sheriff in town. And his name is Reggie Hammond.

No, that isn't it either...

Oh the heck with it...Yes Sir.

Looks like it's time to re-block the recently unblocked. 

While I realize bloviating itself is not something you can give a justifiable negative vote to it makes the forums unenjoyable (is that a word?) for me.

Hopefully the new system will kick in soon and threads will stay a bit more on-topic.

I was thinking the same thing, but that did not stop me to play

Stop now, this are out the subject, last night  I see that Cyrill try to starting again to talking about the idea , in the time I have taking to respond on his proposition, 5 more post out of subject coming in, sorry but I cannot writing in your language so fast as you . O.K that’s my problem.
But the only thing I see are the result, you hurting one of my friend and just for his point of view, I don’t accept that at all, I don’t sleeping very well, I will take,  some time, for reflection, but for now, forget, the translation rules, forget the idea, forget those topic, I  will never let my friend alone, I  think I will take the same way as him.
The last thing I would said are that I’m giving green  point to some people, since they are most who’s speak with loyalty, honestly, but unfortunately there as not the case of all. I don’t giving any red point I’m not a judge.
But if you want give me all your red point you have in your stock , for what i witing now, I will take it with great pleasure, by this way I cannot coming back for I while, but I am certain for one thing  in my mind that I’m a honest man,  with some right. And also my friend.

As many French people I working very hard to contributed to this database, for witch result , for what I see  in this topic, NO, for me that’s enough.  For taking a quote from someone : There are only human who’s destruct the human, that’s wile correct. Thank you.

I don't believe the rules are that hard to understand or follow in English.  I don't think the rules would be hard to understand or follow for French people if they were translated properly into French.  If people follow the rules their contributions would be accepted -- so the key thing to be done here is make sure the French translation is accurate and usable.  So any help which you can provide, surfeur, would be of benefit to the other French users of Profiler.  Even if it's only the portion of the rules that you're comfortable with.

BTW: You wouldn't be called a whiner if you didn't include your personal views of the Rules in nearly every post you make.  It's the "flogging a dead horse" part of your posts that make people call you a whiner.  We know well how you feel about the rules.  We don't need to be reminded of it over and over.
