Ok, here's the story!

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=273429

See this thread? read it. Now, here's what happened.

cinemaman made this thread, but the last four lines (anything after his list) was not included in the original post. He then edits it in that he's kidding. Then it makes me look like an idiot who couldn't tell he was kidding! Then Static Cling closes it and I can't defend myself from all this "Biz idiot" thinking.

You have ruined in my life!

I think Static has ruined Amadeus' life too. His ambition to have every thread on the first page of the movie forum? DENIED!

I think it would be better if you also added "He is not an idiot, so no one should think in that way, AT ALL" (and the AT ALL must be in capital letters.)

Oh, and I didn't know he was joking... I thought he was trolling... BUT he then used his diabolical thinking to edit in he was joking so I just looked like an annoying stupid guy who just spams the forums... which I am not. You should also add that to your edit. Possibly also in capital letters.

I thank you for your time good sir.

This morning I typed a good 6 paragraphs of clarification on one of my posts and hit submit only to find a certain polysyllabically-challenged lab creation (stupid thread baaaad) had closed the thread. Makes me wonder if these people who post 6 straight half-sentence comments in a row are on to something. I'm wasting my time trying to formulate coherent thoughts when sometimes it would serve me better to have an itchy trigger-finger on the "submit reply" button.

My top tip is save long posts in "notepad" before pressing submit just in case there is some kind of a slip-up. One then has the option of re-cycling the <i>bon mots</i> in a new thread if your intended target is summarily closed!

Ah, yes, but if a thread is closed then it's not wise to start up a new one of the same topic.

I don't know....

With the signature that you have, you don't need any help.

While I won't go as far to say anyone ruined my life because of this, I must say I was a bit disappointed to find this thread locked. I was really looking forward to reading 10 more pages of in depth debate on some of my favorite TV shows ever (plus more talk on the newly discovered [thanks to that thread] B5). The first thread never got out of hand and there were no indications that this one would either, so I don't know why the conversation couldn't continue.
