I thought you were being a little too hard on Thrice when concerning his enthusiasm for QOS.

Granted, he flipped flopped a lot concerning CR, but he never saw QOS. He's not exactly like BJ who's set his mind up from the get go. Thrice did give CR a chance before he even saw it and he genuinely wanted to like it, like any Bond fan would. Even if he is just pulling everyone's legs I think its best that you should just ignore him and avoid provoking him therefore he wouldn't be responding to you and you back and so on. That's exactly why threads spread out a few pages with Thrice because he's getting the attention.

I've been pretty much done dealing with Thrice. I don't think he's worth talking to or taking seriously. If he moans about Brozza being better than Craig or twist facts to his own amusement then ignore it. You give him what he wants everytime you respond to him and call him a prick.
Stocks, even you know Thrice and I are diametrically opposed entities, correct? Why even compare me, who you know quite well, to that 'rotating compass' of conviction?

LOL I have my MSN messenger on and one of the people on my buddy list (who posts at MI6)is on..I'm making my feelings known through my MSN sig-changing it every few minutes.Passive aggresive but it makes me feel better and gets my point across.

So Katie Dalton likes Glen Campbell I see from your website. By The Time I Get To Phoenix is a classic 'Katied'. Forget about MI6 and listen to the song. It could be better than QOS' theme. :lol:

I never said you two were exactly the same. :? As much as a nut Thrice and how much he hates Craig, at least he's looking for something to look forward to instead of dooming and glooming, only out to look for negatives and ignore the positives (of course in your mind, you'd say "what positives" because apparently CR was 100% garbage). Granted he's a total fool, but nevertheless a fool that wants to find something good. It doesn't mean much, but it shows the difference between you two. He hopes, you brood.

.As I just said over at MI6, I question Thrice's mental ability, especially when he starts threads over there asking for people to explain stuff to him.And it's the *stupidest* things,too.Stuff that anyone *else* would understand.

As I said Katied, you're better off ignoring him and just moving on. He's really not worth talking about this long. You don't want to end up all nuts by some nut. :lol:

Like I said, rewarding Thrice everytime he misbehaves is making things worse.You've created a monster in doing that- and it's not pretty.

Yes,until he flip flops about whether he likes it.Repeatedly.

Whatever people think of 'Thrice', at least his posts can be quite amusing at times ON 'MI6'.
From my questions to him about Bond.............his reason for disliking CR
were that it wasn't as action orientated as DAD, and because he is deaf this was the reason he disliked CR because of the long dialogue scenes.
He seems more upbeat about QOS, since hearing that the film will be full of action.
Incidently 'Katied', i think the guy must like you, as he often mentions you in his posts.

EA :D

For point of reference:I have a hearing impaired nephew,so I understand all too well about people with hearing difficulties.


BUT I think Thrice uses that to excuse a LOT of things.My nephew is 11(almost 12)and has been hearing impaired his ENTIRE life and behaves better than a lot of adults(which is saying a lot, no?)

The majority of Pro-Craig members humour him, but certainly don't respect him. At least Katied sees through his constant inconsistent cr*p.

They're just too into letting Thrice get away with being a brat to actually wake up and smell the coffee."Drinking the kool-aid", indeed.

I think the problem is that everytime Thrice starts something there is a list of at least half a dozen people adding fuel to the fire by rolling their eyes, calling him stupid and so on.

Yeah he really can be annoying but what is worth is the fact that everyone makes it worse by actually biting to his bait.

Itt has nothing to do with his opinion. People get along with bong who loves Brosnan, Vine is more open to discussion, Vesper doesn't hate the film but he doesn't think it;s good either it either. VMSNS thought it was overpraised too but he doesn't post anymore.

The reason why Tubes posted that is because of the lack of common sense some people showed after the start of Cnb.com and the announcement of Craig's Bond. They refused to see the other side of things and having such a closed mind makes discussion very difficult.

Mind you there are people on MI6 who behave the same way, only on the other side of the argument.

The reason I don't mind Bong, Vine, et al is because they get their point across in an *intelligent* way.Not so Thrice. .I may not agree with them(not by a long shot!)but they're entitled to their opinion.People give Bong trouble about liking DAD but he knows we're not doing it in a mean way ;)

What I don't like is threads that have NOTHING to do with Pierce becoming such.You want to talk about things that get old really fast?Those do.

Yes I agree.

But that is nowhere near as bad as it was back when the casting happened in 06. People from all sides were just being childish.

Now people seem more laid back and open to discussing things. Again not everyone is but it has gotten better.

Still on the topic of MI6 but moving away from Thrice for a moment:It is disturbing how some people have an unnatural attachment to certain aspects of the Bond films(there's a thread on one of the Quantum Of Solace threads about bringing the shillouettes back to the titles again.


Personal opinion,but I think it's tacky.However I'm amazed at the amount of people that think they're great,and that they're *essential* to the Bond films. *shrug*

I liked the opening credits of CR. They were a different style to most Bond credits, but I thought they were still distinctively Bondian.

I liked CR's credits.New-style credits for a new Bond,is what I say ;) But some people like the kitsch factor of the 60's/70/'s/80's titles. To each his or her own, as I'm fond of saying,but the naked shilouettes are retro(and not in a good way,either!)

I read through that thread on MI6forums. Again, if anything there were not many who especially wanted the titles back, most of them just thought that if they did come back it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I did not get involved in that thread but I thought the discussion that was going on was great. It was civilized and a lot of cool ideas came up about the style of the credits. Things from that point on got a little out of hand. A lot of members like arguing on that forum, but it loses the point of discussion. What's wrong with discussing the return of the titles, I thought some of the ideas were very interesting.

the forum has become too black and white. there are no shades of grey. It's almost as if people can't like or dislike certain things they have to hate or love all of them for fear of being branded a sexist old Brosnan lover...or on the other side of the spectrum a PC Craig lover. Why can't people be in the middle?

Agreed. I like both Daniel *and* Pierce,but that is like a huge no-no at MI6.Anytime someone says "oh,well, all Craig fans hate Pierce" I have to stand up and say "that's not necessarily true!some of us like both of them!"
