No Good Deed Goes Unpunished... AGAIN...

I know he is still lurking around in this thread!

Wow, Old Chuckles. You spew inane vitriol and accuse me of attacking? i was simply trying to provide a bit of clarity on how this all started.
Control your mind? Not interested. Scumbag? Been called worse.
As for the machinations of a major entertainment company, you should leave that to the me because your assertions have zero basis in fact. Just like I'd defer to you about cheese or anything else related to Wisconsin.
Now go on your predictable rant. I'm out of here.

"Control your mind? Not interested. Scumbag? Been called worse."
Thanks for being honest. I would assume that you have been called a lot worse than anything I could come up with.

The only one here who has been ranting is you, Mr. FOX EXECUTIVE. Also, I would rather be known as a "cheese-head" than a "shit-head" who arranges Las Vegas "parties" for a living!

Some folks claim I'm not a physician because I wrote, "LOL" and "OMG" before. As if once we sign a contract to be an executive, lawyer, or physician we can no longer screw around, have a sense of humor, be down to earth, or just generally fuck around, etc.

I was directed to this thread for a good chuckle, and much of it has been entertaining. However, that last couple of posts to the Fox guy are just bad manners and are inexcusable. I had hoped DVD Talk would be a more pleasant place to post than AVS has become, but now, I dunno.

This is the greatest thread evar.
Also want to add that the crack firesale comment by "Fox Executive", is a prefect example of why I will never buy into Blu-Ray. The arrogance of the BDA and their underhanded tactics make me sick.

It seems to me that the only fair thing to do here is to have "Fox Executive" help me reach the appropriate contact at his company regarding a graphic design job. That way, I could get the position I've been looking for, I will be able to confirm that "Fox Executive" is indeed a Fox executive, and we could all end the thread on a happy note.
