Nice...
I think there a few over there that are intent on wrecking this site. Fortunately there are a few Pro-Craig fans here that are decent.
Hope you are referring to me, young Skywalker.....
Your learning, but remember fear leads to hate. Hate leads to anger and before you know it you'll dislike CR too.

We're all Bond fans and, as such, all entitled to opinions on the matter.
It's when the opinions become insults and get personal that things go too far. This is directed at both pro and anti-Craigs, there are guilty ones in both camps, unfortunately the way this site was run before put alot of anti-Craigs in a bad light, even those who had intelligent opinions to put across.
I'm of the opinion that if you send ill thought and non-constructive posts, you deserve criticism. If on the other hand you voice your opinion with an intellectual and well-thought post, regardless of where your opinion lies it should be respected.

Isn't that what I said?
Indeed. I was emphasising the point. It's not a crime to agree.

I disagree with nearly everything CnB stands for and now I’m wishing them good luck and god speed with their forum.
Old enough to remember true oppression I can not stand on the side and ignore the deliberate attack on people with a different point of view.
My fellow MI6 patrons spamming these boards have embarrassed us all. A swollen black-eye to the online community.
The spammers here are the worst of what all Bond forums have to offer. Reasonable to assume a number of you posting here were member of these boards at one time and left.
Don’t judge us all by their actions.
I applaud the restraint shown to these unworthy specimens of online hate begging to be banned. Even in the most unlikely place a good thing can flourish. The forum here is the first step in a better direction.
I have enjoyed reading why some of you do not like Daniel Craig (not just because of his physical appearance) and where you see deviation from Fleming’s text in the recent embodiment of his vision at the movies.
Keep it up!~ better things are sure to follow.
PS if you must; it will be understandable if you have to edit/deleted/ban those sorry sods attacking you now. You have my permission for what that’s worth.
This is a good forum and it is healthy to disagree about things and not go with the flow, you will be very welcome here and not be riddiculed for liking Craig as Bond. It is part of the debate that we see why we like certain things and dislike certain things about Craigs very different and seperate alternative universe Bond

If the site was set out with clear articles by Bond fans giving sensible reasons why they didn't want Craig as Bond, then the site wouldn't be ridiculed, but it quickly because a Brosnan fan site that took cheap shots at Craig, with a web-mistress who had said even before Craig was announced that she would boycott any Bond film that Brosnan wasn't in, and the Boycott petition originally had no mention of Craig, it was about getting Brosnan back.
I agree.
I do believe some of the members here who are anti have good reason to not like the new Bond, and it is only fair that they have this forum to voice their opinions. I'm all for that. The world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same thing.
Unfortunately, this website doesn't really do them any favours. Deanna Brayton obviously had her own agenda - get Brosnan back at all costs! And with comments that could be percieved as homophobic, biased news items, a reluctance to hear opposing fans views, and slight childish and hate-filled undertones throughout the entire website, it has now been left with moderators here to pick up the pieces.
I actually think the moderators here are decent people, and have set up this forum to allow anti fans to escape what can seem like ocassional bullying by the majority of members on other forums.
