My one gripe with this place is that as soon as a new member joins with an opinion opposing the populous, there always manages to be one of the "veteran" members to take up the call of either mocking them or gunning them down.
Its frankly ridiculous and put me off posting here a while back, it's like you don't want your community to flourish and instead stick stale in the mud with your inner circle of friends. Why can't you just politely ask for an explanation or accept someone's opinion for what it is.
It's even more ridiculous when someone like Vader expresses his uncommon opinions on movies and you all hand in hand praise him for it. I admire the guy for standing his ground, also Bacon always seems to be a common culprit.

Jax Teller had the worse as far as I know.
Batfan is contrarian. And Bacon acts childishly sometimes. Allstar is so blind in his fanboism sometimes. Vader is full of himself and his intellect, m4 is impulsive. Rifa, sticks out too with his posts. Crazy can be obnoxious. And so on. You get used to every each and everyone of us as times goes by. ChristNolan was in Batfan's position before this.
Yes, this forum tends to close into itself because people know each other. An outsider is perceived as an outsider till people get used to him. I see this on other forums too.
But as Cilogy said this is like the pit. We "eat" one another sometimes. As long as you don't get too serious about it, it will be fine. My own way in here is in and out, I post something and off I go. I don't want to be part of this things. Sometimes things are so childish (as a whole the internet can be like that). But you get used to. I know I did. And I don't get too serious about it. People make the mistake on forums to get in a prolonged fight over something, Be classy, or at least try, say your words and move on. Keeping it on it's like fueling fire. It gets nowhere and even gets worse.
ps: ohh and Talli. What a piece that was. I have to mention him as he was the best of us.

Actually, I don't think I've ever said this, but I actually respect batfan a lot for never resorting to petty insults and name-calling. I just feel like, sometimes he opposes everyone just for the sake of it - god forbid this place has a mutual opinion, because he'll always say the exact opposite thing. Hell, NF don't even have to love stuff like they love Sicario - he'd argue with a fly if he could. When you experience this almost every single day (when I come here, at least), it becomes sorta like a parody, idk.
On the other hand, half of the things I say here is bullshit anyway and I usually don't mean it, so I would suggest him to loosen up a little as well. Well, unless his sole reason of coming here is to shit in all of our cereal.
