I don't understand this

So there's this user, and probably many users, who exclusively make negative posts on people's individual pages. They will make a new post, that just rails on about a person in the most rude and disgusting (and fairly illiterate) way, and then never respond to a single user who responds to them. Then they will immediately move on to a new person and repeat. I don't get why that would even be fun. If you hate movies, and you hate all actors, why would you even be here? If it's just to live off of the few reactionary responses you may get, why would that be enough?

Just call me out by name okay. No need to be cryptic.

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

I wasn't talking about you, but good to know you're at least somewhat self aware.

[–] samoanjoes (50714) 3 years ago

I know you weren't. Just messing around.

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

That's kool and the gang. The person I'm talking about wouldn't respond in any way, pretty sure.

Some posters like to use the 'ignore' feature, maybe just put the annoying posters on ignore

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

Yeah, I don't understand either.

[–] AndyKing1967 (33681) 3 years ago

Unfortunately, you just have to accept that some people are odd.

[–] bellington83 (3268) 3 years ago

Lol!! That's putting it politely 😄

[–] AndyKing1967 (33681) 3 years ago

Even my politeness upsets some people 🤪

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

That's odd.

[–] AndyKing1967 (33681) 3 years ago

People are strange.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20406) 3 years ago

When your a stranger.

[–] AndyKing1967 (33681) 3 years ago

Jim Morrison thought so.

If you mean Moviebuff224 I blocked him a while back and the site is more enjoyable without him, there are a couple of other members who post in a similar manner, also blocked.

[–] jonathan_k80 (6436) 3 years ago

I'm not sure if the OP is referring to MovieBuff224. I don't recall him ever going after any specific poster. His posts were usually about something in the workplace or about human behavior in general.

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

Not talking about that guy, although he is a putz.

There are some challenging folk here. Having an informed objective debate is one thing, but nonsensical abuse is something else!

They always make themselves look foolish. Karma at work I suppose.

There's always the 'Ignore' function. I've used it a couple of times unfortunately.

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

Could do. I probably will, and I certainly am aware of the ignore function, it's just in my nature to wonder why people do the things they do. This behavior is totally antithetical to the spirit of discussion.

[–] ColumboKate (5307) 3 years ago

I couldn't agree more. Don't let them get to you. You'll be here until next Christmas trying to figure them out, don't waste your time on them 😒

[–] Gubbio (3893) 3 years ago

Apparently, there are a lot of things you don't understand.

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

Thank you for your valuable input! I don't know what I would have done without you.

[–] Gubbio (3893) 3 years ago

You're welcome. You seem to need all the help you can get. 🙄

[–] Querelle (1603) 3 years ago

Man, straight people are really bad at throwing shade.

[–] linuxlad (996) 3 years ago

Are you referring to "TimMC"? He fits your description.
