Please learn what an insult actually is.

Cool. All you've done is try to pick a fight for some reason. I'm going to ignore your posts like this for now on. We can talk about the movies still if you want.

this is a group of people that does this stuff, and you've appeared out of nowhere to insert yourself into the group for the sole purpose of trying to earn e-cred by trying to seem smarter than a group of strangers that you'll never meet

I posted in a public message board in a discussion about some movies, some of which I really like (they're some great movies!).

As I said earlier, I was going to participate in the ranking but didn't watch a dozen of them (so that wouldn't really be fair), but I would like to discuss them. Am I wrong for thinking I should be able to talk about them and maybe question some of the responses to them?

But I've been met with more hostility than I've given, and *I'm* not the one who said I was smarter than other people, that was this red guy who has done nothing but try to pick a fight for some reason, and got mad when he was met with responses in kind.

If I submitted a ranking would I still be met with the same kind of hostility? Or am I just not allowed to participate?

But just showing up and insulting the people that you are trying to get to listen to you? That doesn't really work. I learned that lesson the hard way in 2010 on my blog, and it cost me dozens of followers.

I haven't really insulted anyone though. And I would get the going out to eat analogy more if it this wasn't all taking place on a public discussion board where the main point is for people to join in and talk about it. A better analogy would be more like if you guys had a close-knit film club at school or other public space and some new people showed up to join in on the discussion.

But where do the critiques end? If you want to critique the film taste of people that you know you have more movie knowledge of, do you want someone who types faster than you letting you know that your replies are kind of slow? Do you want someone who is always confident in their decisions, to critique you for second guessing yourself and editing posts? Do you want someone who knows more about cars to critique you for what you drive? Do you want someone who is good at exercising to critique you because your workout regime is worse than theirs? etc.

I don't know what any of this has to do with what I posted. I didn't say anyone here is worse for not having more movie knowledge than me. I did suggest a list of some interesting films that could have been better than like Hotel Transylvania 3 or something. I just think it's neat to be interested in other films. Movies are interesting.
