May I say something?
Honestly speaking the members on this site seem like respectable, intelligent human beings.
I've got to say I feel the same about MI6! I think the difference is that MI6 is so huge, there are bound to be idiots who post nonsense there.
Personally speaking, the only members who don't get respect are the crybabies, and those who are so stuck to one side of an argument they are no longer open minded. These closed minded individuals are on both sides of every argument and honestly they ruin it for everyone.
They ruin it for those who do not like Daniel Craig, because they fear that all members who are not a fan of his or Cr wil be attacked. they also ruin it for the fans of Daniel Craig as well, because it makes them seem like "a group junior highschool students"
There are very well respected members who are not fans of Craig/CR
VMSNS - liked Cr but doesn't praise it that much
Vesper - thinks CR is overrated
Chanandler Bong - LOVES Die Another Day
The members who don't get respect are those who claim to be know it alls and refuse to be open to discussion (which contradicts the whole point of a forum)!
These are the members that purposely start anti CR/Craig threads without any content in them, or whine about Brosnan, and keep complaining for no reason. MI6 is a positive community and I believe that as long as you can post your opinion and a reason for it in a happy, positive manner, you will be welcomed with open arms.
There is a certain member, for example who spams each and every thread with anti Brosnan posts. He seems to be the know it all of "acting chops." He thinks Craig is God. I wager he gets less respect than Thrice.
Has he been banned? No. Just like those who do not like Daniel Craig haven't been banned. It's hard to ban any member. Respect, or opinion has nothing to do with it. By the way katied the mods don't have the power to ban members. If a member has broken the rules he gets warned, regardless of status (trust me, I know). Banning only happens after repeated warnings and when an Admin is online.
A different opinion is more than welcomed on MI6! I'd like to go as far as to encourage many of you to join there if you don't believe me. As long as you post your opinions in a polite manner, with the intent to discuss and not argue you'll be welcomed with open arms. I'd even defend you if you were attacked by those few members who are closed minded on the other side of the fence.
It's a matter of being open minded, it really is. Of course if you join and your first post is about how you hate Daniel Craig nobody will take you seriously because at first glance they'll think you're the next Thrice. On the other hand if you join with the intent of contributing to the forum, make some freinds and talk about your feelings on the current James bond people wil be more than happy to accept that.
The only problem is ignoring those few, that I mentioned earlier, who are as closed minded as can be. A lot of members on MI6 don't like Moore, but the Moore fans still haven't declared war. why? Because it's a positive community and members will respect the opinions of other members.
I hope some of you take into consideration what I said, and if so it would be nice to see you on MI6. Maybe we can finally brake down this Berlin Wall of the internet that seems to be separating two groups of people with the same interests.
We're all bond fans here, the least we could do is get along.
right?
Oh and Katied what you say surprises me. From how you used to post about this place on MI6, you really seem to have come to some sort of turnaround. Relax... this is the internet.
and have noticed that most of the people on them have desk jobs. I guess that's why they have the opportunity or time to post or view the sites. I am at my desk job right now and instead of leaning over to the next cubicle to talk to a coworker, I am posting here.
