I see some of you are taking my question very personally. I didn't mean to offend. Yes, I've been coming here for a while, but I've noticed there's a decided difference in the tone and maturity level of the posts over the course of the past year or so. And it's not getting any better. I wondered if there was a better place and some of you have been kind enough to offer some suggestions, which I intend to check out.
I'll leave here when I'm ready.
Actually, I'm ready.
Ciao.

And therein lies the problem. Thank you. A post like that one is, to the apparent standards of this site, considered "Well written, well thought out, lengthy [is that an advantage], articulate [really?], and on topic."
Thanks. I'm definitely in the wrong place.
Cool, thanks, I'll check it out.
Thanks, I'll try it.
The childishness extends way far into the film boards.
I've asked a legitimate question. I'm sorry it annoyed you, I really am. My account is not a "sock account," whatever that is. It's a legitimate account and I'm a real human being.
"This door?"
"The outer door!"
"The outer door. Because there's nothing on this one."
What are you, twelve years old?
Interesting article here on trolling:
https://news.byu.edu/intellect/whats-in-a-troll-byu-research-examines-motives-of-internet-trolling#:~:text=Through%20an%20online%20survey%20completed,more%20likely%20to%20demonstrate%20trolling
"Through an online survey completed by over 400 Reddit users, the study found that individuals with dark triad personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) combined with schadenfreude – a German word meaning that one derives pleasure from another’s misfortune – were more likely to demonstrate trolling behaviors."
You might want to talk to someone.
People who are devastated react in all sorts of different ways. Being devastated doesn’t mean you necessarily do the right thing. Frequently, people channel their grief into anger and quite often outwardly, as in this case. Love doesn’t mean you always do the right thing, either. Again, the father <i>thought</i> he was doing the right thing and he did it out of (misguided) love. Love doesn’t make one wise. Cripes, most times it’s the opposite! Neil’s father did what he did because he thought he was protecting Neil from a life of failure and guiding him toward a more secure future. Whether he also did it because he wanted to somehow live vicariously through his son, sure, I guess that's possible. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t love his son.
Will somebody be pointing a gun at your head forcing you to watch it?
