It's when they start demanding that this forum be changed to accommodate them that I have a problem. We don't ban people for being pro-Craig, as long as they abide by the forum rules, but they need to recognise that this is a forum for people who are unhappy with Craig as Bond, and that we are under no obligation to provide "balance" or "democracy" in ensuring that their view (which is also the default position of every other Bond/movie forum on the net) is adequately represented.

We've had issues in the past with people forcing their opinions(the less said about that the better) to the point where it was really causing problems.By and large I get along with the pro-Craigs and they get along with me, even if we're not on the same page as far as Daniel Craig goes.




I've learned to use the ignore feature to deal with problem posters.

I have no problem with the Pro-Craigers, It all adds to some great discussions. I feel they get
a much friendlier time here than some of the anti-Creggers get on some other forums.

Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

Just because one likes Craig as Bond doesn't mean he doesn't like the other five actors. :wink:

It used to. Shortly after CR came out, the meme du jour was "I can't watch the other Bond fims now, because they suck compared to the awesomness of the Great Daniel Craig (PBUH)."

Even dissing Craig's non-Bond films (as god-awful at they are) at the fanboy boards can be a no-no.

Lots of people on alt.fan.james-bond in 2006 and early 2007 (remember Usenet?)

Yeah, i like Craig, Dalton, Connery and Lazenby too. Moore and Brosnan are not my favorite, their Bond film were too comical for me.

The love/sex scenes would certainly be . . . erm . . . different in a Lego Bond film. . .

Favorite Bond Movie: My top 7 (or should I say, 007!): FYEO, FRWL, TWINE, NSNA, TLD, GE, OP
But really, any Bond film with Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton or Brosnan is fine.
Favorite Movies: Lawrence of Arabia, Silence of the Lambs, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, My Fair Lady, Beauty and the Beast, In Bruges, Ripley's Game, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Life of Brian, Dirty Harry

You mustn't forget that even though the Bond movies are an adaption of Fleming's books, sometimes more, sometimes less, they also reflect a great deal of a certain zeitgeist in them. So of course a year 2002 Bond is a lot different than a 1962 Bond...they will always have certain similarities, such as him being British etc... but yet the movies are each products of their own.
