Why do you post on the DCINB forum?

Post by Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry »

I thought I would ask why you post on this wonderful forum?

I post there because I think Daniel Craig is not James Bond. I like to explore why he is not Bond with like minded people.

This topic is a flame war waiting to happen.

I have the same reasons as you, Capt. We also have some nice debates with those who like Daniel Craig as James Bond.
Bring back Bond!

They're debates coming from a anti-Craig point of view only :wink:

Honestly, I think MOST of us here know we have differing views and are respectful of that. Hell, I consider Sweeney,Stocks,et al, friends even if I don't always agree with them.

I post here because I thought that the so called boycott of Casino Royale was pathetic.
Having not seen Daniel Craig in the role, people judged him. That to me is not fair.
Having seen him as James Bond, now in his second film, I believe he's a very worthy successor to the role.
I am not (despite what some members may think) here to make any of you change your minds. I respect that there are many sensible people here, that don't like Daniel Craig. Which is fine. However, there are times when very weak arguments that he should not continue arise. Actually they occur quite alot.
And there are one or two members who I clash with. It's not the first time that people haven't got on.
Besides, I find it fun to debate with people on the subject.
I see nothing wrong with that.
As for trolling the forum, well it's understandable that it's seen that way. I'm just replying to posts that I've made.
If I'm more active on the forum than some of you, and post alot more, doesn't make me a troll. I'm not expecting any agreement on that comment.
I never expected to continue posting here for anymore than a few months, but there are enough good debates here, on a smaller forum to make me keep coming back.
Besides, what would you all do without me?

People who come on here and push pro-Craig agendas to the point of being obnoxious deserve the grief they get.

As I said earlier, the vast majority of pro-Craigs are respectful.It hasn't always been that way but I think things have improved as of late. :up:

This thread is only going to act as a flame war.
Which I'm going to avoid. This time.
I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve here Dominic.
I think most people know why they post here, it's only people with a different opinion than the anti-Craigs that you ask the question of surely.
Of course when they do, can everyone let the comments made go?
I don't think so. So we come full circle. The pro-Craig fans and the anti-Craig fans fight it out again.
It's never going to change.
Whilst I believe Stocks and Sweeney to be more established and better received than myself, if you get rid of all the pro-Craig fans and keep the forum strictly anti-Craig, a new bunch of anti-Craigs will fill our spots.
Or if they don't, the place would get boring very quickly. Before to long it would fade away. Like the others forums that make a brief appearance on the www, only to disappear without trace.

No duh it's going to start a flame war :roll:


Sweeney and Stocks have earned their status as valued posters here, as have *most* of the pro-Craigs. :)

Why does katied post on the forum I wonder?
I've never seen you discuss James Bond.
Never seen any hint that you know anything about the subject.
I see alot of spiteful and weak attempts at posts. I call it trolling.
I asked in another thread that we ignore each other. Seems you don't want to do that.
There is a pm function, so we can take our argument away from the forum. I suggest it's an option to keep the forum free of pages of our crap.
No doubt this will confuse you.

I post here to correct everyone who doesn't like Craig. Hey, somebody's gotta help to cure the mentally ill.



:wink: :P


I came here ready to debunk the "d00dz heez n0t pryce benson, geyyy" crowd like in the Deanna Brayton days. Instead I found most people here to be sensitive blokes with their own opinions. :)

I post here because there is more chance of a debate than other Bond forums, where everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. The majority on MI6 and CBn like Craig, so there is very little chance of debating an opposing view on there. It's boring if everyone thinks the same.

I'm sure if there were no pro-Craigers here, you guys would get bored too fairly quickly. There's only so much of - `I don't like Craig as Bond' `Me neither' `Babs should never have picked him' `He's too short, too blonde', etc. that you can all comment about, before it runs out of steam, and you end up repeating yourself. After Bond 23, the comments and opinions will still be the same, nothing will have changed.

At least having a few of us pro-Craigers on here keeps you guys on your toes a bit more to keep it interesting.... :wink:

I agree with Dominic. Also I saw Casino Royale on DVD thought it was very overrated and dull.

Send me £50 via paypal and I'll join the MI6 forum and have a go at Daniel Craig. :wink:
