He called you names and told you to “f” (notice proper punctuation) off?

That was only on this forum. He saw a thread i made and was a jerk, must have watched my account and followed me to this thread just to be a jerk again. So i told him to f off because he is harassing me

Wow, I can’t wait to see how this sentence ends.

That was the whole sentence moron. Sorry I don’t feel like putting a period.

Or a comma.

This isn’t some business letter.

You’ll never get hired with that attitude. The correct attitude is “write for the job you want, not the job you have.”

Stop acting like a middle school “career” teacher, Frink.

Ikr tnx

Context is important. In this case, who posted it is the context.

Total harassment, right?

Being a jerk is one thing. But to then follow me to other threads and continue to be a jerk is harassment. Is that guy your friend or something? You defend for no reason

I don’t know what anyone expected after a post like this:

Now if he’d care to elaborate, maybe an actual discussion would follow.

I actually prefer this to having that discussion again.

Yeah I was just trying to play nice with a moderator. 😉

Since I wasn’t around when TFA came out (and to possibly re-rail this thread a bit), I mostly enjoyed TFA, rehashes and all (and I say that as someone who’s very critical of ROTJ for its rehashiness).

It was a necessary palate cleanser after the dumpster fires of the prequels, introduced two protagonists I already have a lot of interest and investment in (Rey and Poe) and an antagonist that is compelling and frightening due to how unstable and unsure of himself he is (Kylo), and set the stage for something truly fresh and unique to come after.

It’s not perfect, of course. For one, I hate Starkiller Base and think the movie should have ended with Rey imprisoned on Kylo’s Star Destroyer, with the rescue attempt happening amid a battle between the New Republic fleet (which would have been decimated) and the First Order as they staged a surprise orbital bombardment of the New Republic capitol rather than on a snow planet that for some reason is a hyperspace Death Star. For two, the actual politics of the Resistance/Republic/First Order were woefully underestablished (or not established at all). For three, I thought Finn was poorly handled - a defecting stormtrooper shouldn’t be a bumbling comic relief character.

But overall? Better than any of the prequels, and better than ROTJ.

What you say are dumpster fires (ok episode 1 and 2 are bad lol) I enjoy more than this new family friendly disney mainstream film made entirely just for the box office

I fail to understand how TFA (which features the death of a major classic character, the maiming of a new character, depictions of psychic torture, and the wholesale destruction of multiple inhabited planets) is more family friendly than TPM or AOTC. I might give you ROTS, but even that had incredibly childish humor throughout most of the first half, and Anakin’s turn is done in the most family-friendly way it could have been done. (Though the immolation scene and Order 66 are probably less family-friendly than anything in TFA.)

Not enjoying the movie is one thing (and I do understand and accept most of the criticisms of the film, I just wasn’t as bothered by them as most were), but I honestly don’t understand people who think Star Wars has become more Disney-fied since the sale. If anything, it’s gotten darker. Any “Disneyfication” present in TFA I’d chalk up to Abrams more than Disney itself.
