Wonder where he went? I was browsing a bit on ign, lookin for some zelda information when i came across a star wars sub forum. I recognised the man immediately haha!

http://boards.ign.com/star_wars/b5072/140133584/p1

Topic is called 'Terrible attitudes from Star Wars "Fans".

Infamous Gomer lines such as 'I'm flat out begging chronic complainers to enjoy their lives. ' are passing the revue here ! He keeps on sayinh shit like 'I'm just saying you guys would probably enjoy life more overall'. He needs to look his own life first. I sure as hell don't think he's enjoying his life at all. SW appears to be the only thing he's got going in his life or something...

Guy needs to get laid pretty badly jesus.

Man, that thread was unreal. They act like it's a crime to dislike a fucking movie.

So I don't like the prequels. Big deal! I don't spend that much time thinking about them, I haven't watched one in over a year, I just pretend they never happened. But when someone starts a topic about them, I will say I don't like them, because I don't. They're just movies, for God's sake! Move on with your life!

Jeez- that guy SERIOUSLY needs to get a life!

I'm starting to think that it's a case of methinks thou doth protest too much - he sounds like he's trying to convince himself to like the PT. If he wasn't, I don't think he'd give a crap so much about what other people think.

He's definitely an odd one. Insecurity could be the cause, I don't know.

Sixteen thousand posts? That's nuts.

It's Gomer being the same again and again.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

Yeah, there's no need to defend the prequels. If he likes them, then he would be okay with it and move on. Weird one, Go-moronic.

Great. His name has been invoked, thus he will return.

A few great great excerpts from Gomer:

' I have just personally found that by focusing more on the positve, I smile more.

Take it or leave it.'

Must be one hell of a smile!

' You know and when these people say they love Star Wars, a lot of times they have to point out "except for the newer ones".

What's wrong with that?

'You can't force the rest of the world to agree with you that the newer SW movies suck. At some point you have to accept the fact that they just weren't -your- cup of tea and that others think they were great.

Take charge of your -own- destiny.

Happiness is in -your- hands, and yet you -choose- to wallow in negativity.

You actually go out of your way in an attempt to drag others into your own personal hell.

You have no sympathy from me on this.

Your attitude just plain sucks.'


Hahah wow

' I don't know if I'd call you guys ignorant, but you are missing out.'

misisng out on what exactly? Sex, friends, fun, the best original SW trilogy ever?

'I'm just saying that I enjoy my life more enjoying things, and I wanted to share that secret with people who I assume never got that memo. '

memo!

' But like I said before, it's just a suggestion, waste your life however you see fit.'

Oh, you mean like you? Devoting an entire life telling people we're not smiling enough, not enjoying life enough, not enjoying the prequels enough? What a great fuckin' life, Gomer

I could put together a list as long as my arm of movies (other than the PT) that I don't like- I wonder if he'd be upset about all of those as well?

Hey Go-Mer.....I HATED The Black Dahlia!!!!! What are you gonna do about it?

Why can't you meet DePalma halfway? It's all there if you just give it a chance. I guess no matter what DePalma does, you'll never be happy.

This reminds me of the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Robert joins the "Inner Path" cult.

Troll, Hypocrite, Jackass, Moron, Hypocite, and Troll are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Gomer. At least he isn't on this board anymore; that's something to be thankful for. But poor IGN....

I like how Mr. "I focus on the positive" keeps going after negative people in negative threads. So much for not "wallowing in negativity".

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

Best response to his post:

I understand your desire for a more positive experience for yourself and others, but in order to get the full and real experience, you have to take the negative with the positive.

Having said that, there are individuals that come on these boards just for the sake of aggravating fans.

By "good times", I'm sure you are referring to this current time, since he's currently at another board.

I can't get over how Mr. Ignore the negative things makes a thread that focuses on the negative things. So many of his own responses can be applied to his own actions:

this thread sucks.

And yet there you are talking about how it sucks. Well done.

I'm just saying you guys would probably enjoy life more overall, if you didn't keep watching all the things you think suck over and over again.

Too much of a commitment, and you never really get anywhere in the end.


LOL! I hope his life is truly made better in pursuit of this life-long goal.

Did he get banned here or something? He and JediRandy stopped annoying people all of a sudden.

He was only posting here because he was banned from TF.n at that time (for doing pretty much the same thing.) Looking at his post count at IGN, I'd say he spends quite a bit of time there.

lol

I found his arguments rather intriguing until he stopped trying to argue for them. I generally dislike it when people start arguments based upon objectivity and then appeal to subjectivity as a way to avoid losing the arguments they start. Basically meant I wasted my time with him I guess. :\

I'm still here, you guys are just boring lately.
"Among many things I have to be thankful for are you, the fans. I know that some of you haven't liked every single thing that I've done with the saga, and that you have a strong sense of ownership over all things Star Wars. But take that passion and devotion and channel it into a creative project of your own."
-George Lucas
