Man of Steel

Cobblepot4Mayor, your posts would be far easier to read if you copied and pasted the parts of the other members' posts you wanted to quote and then highlighted the text before clicking on the 'insert quote' icon from above the text panel (it's the speech-bulb icon).  You could then type your response underneath.

Appreciate your help. Far more considerate than the above sly comment from that Colors dude. Apologies for the confusion. Wasn't sure what I needed to do. I was eventually going to ask about it anyway.

Hey dude, I prefaced my comment with respect, I then pointed out the problem and never once expressed or implied anything personal. If I had, somebody would've warned me (or banned me) by now. But nobody has. Simmer down.

I'm afraid it didn't read that way to me mate. Sounded like a cleverly disguised jibe at my inability to post properly. That and that "Penguin's PR agent" comment strangely. No need for it. If you couldn't see the large body of text I'd written, whether presented accurately or not, you must be pretty stupid at reading. A six year old can still read text like that it's just common sense.

Hey guys, no need for such hostility.  I'm sure Dark Knight and colors didn't mean any real malice by their comments Cobblepot4Mayor.  We should all make an effort to be nicer around here I do agree but once you get to know them you'll find that these two guys and a few others have a playful sense of humour and they don't mean anything really nasty.

Pop on over to the Batman Returns section in that Ice Princess thread. I popped off about something and then someone else jumped in. THAT is me belittling another member.

Just for comparison.

Why would you do that to anyone on this forum colors?  There's too much of that nastiness on other sites' forums.  You know that Ral and others including myself don't tolerate that rudeness here.  I'm not having a go.  As you can see from my last post I've defended your good name but I would have hoped that you wouldn't feel the need to be snarky about any other poster on this forum.

I brought it up only to say that's more or less what it's like when I talk smack (out of exasperation). I think there's a marked difference between that and the post in this thread where I tried to put the problem into the proper context without making moral judgments, questioning anybody's maternal lineage or speculating on their likely destination in the afterlife.

Frankly, I think my restraint is to be applauded in this case since there was absolutely no ill will behind it.

Yes but there was no need to be 'exasperated'.  Anyway, I hope CobblepotForMayor appreciates that you didn't intend any malice.

Let's try this the Cobblepot4Mayor way:

I am well aware 'flashy newness' isn't automatic gold. I am a detractor of Chris Nolan Batman movies. You are not educating me on something I don't know here, 'buddy'. As said, I prefer the 89/92 Batman. That's not as far as I go back. For example check out the 1920 German silent horror film 'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari'. That old is gold. I could not give a rats about Superman's checkered past. I gladly jump aboard the Man of Steel reboot bus because it presents a clean slate. The reviewers got it wrong in this instance. Man of Steel is significantly better than the Prima- Donner loyalists claim. They are the one's dictating the rules here trying to make it a one sided argument.

Luv ya, Cobbles. All is cool.

I sincerely hope so Dark Knight. I'd hate having a quick word with the site administrator. Wouldn't want you "demoted" to "The Boy Wonder" now would we? 

Amusing response. See I could quite clearly read your message in that body of text despite being brief. Mine was at least 2 big paragraph chunks I double spaced out trying to distinguish from the rest. Which made it slightly bemusing how it couldn't be spotted.

I never said I was "educating" you. Merely describing my feelings on the matter. Your comments about critics getting it wrong was very funny because that sure was a lot of critics. Your a little fish in a big big pond on that score. Much like Colors you seem to be the seminal authority of all things Superman must be. You guys aren't Siegel and Shuster's relations are you? lol Peace.

Ah I see. You must have quite the reputation here it seems. Your track record for getting people pissed must be genius surely lol

Anyway excuse me if I misunderstood your intent. Let's hope things don't get messy eh? You seem to have done quite brilliant things on this site with your comics to film comparison articles. I imagine all that hard work keeps you immune from being banned despite your conflicts with certain people you spoke of. Still perhaps you should tone down that aggression. It'd be a shame if you couldn't print new articles in future. I have fun reading them all. It's good to know someone's doing such work and all I have to do is sit on my arse and wait to read it lol Seems fair

I'm really not a people-person. Other people handle that whole "diplomacy" thing better than I do.

You seem to have done quite brilliant things on this site with your comics to film comparison articles.

Unfortunately, I can't take too much credit for those things, especially the Batman comparisons. For other things, I made modest contributions.

Actually, what's saved me from being banned is Ral's fairly laissez-faire attitude regarding moderating. My experiences with him (on this forum and off) tell me that he believes in free expression... so long as it doesn't become some immature flame thing. Then he or one of his admins have to step in and tell The Guilty Parties to STFU and play nice. But as I'm sure you've noticed, this forum is probably the best for Batman comic, film and TV discussion online. Other forums may do one of those individual media better so far as discussion but none of them do ALL of them with the same level of quality you get around here. We've got the Ice Cat Princess Woman, TDK, SE, SN, ral, the Good DocLathropBrown and a bunch of others to keep the discussions running along smoothly. Plus, some of the features are written by people with actual training and education in that type of writing so they're already a cut above 99% of fan pages out there. Bottom line? I'm sure you'll find this place very much to your tastes.

Still perhaps you should tone down that aggression.

Eh. Don't bet on it.
