"ehm... I think I never ever called anybody a nazi. I called Jay's methods of shutting up people gestapo methods."

Are you seriously trying to debate semantics here? You're from Germany - do you really need a lesson in regards to who ran the Gestapo?

"Jay is banned from our board because he attacked Dayv too much and too personal and we do protect our people."

I've seen posts from both sides do the same, yet no one is banned at OT.COM. Again, the facts don't support your reasons.

Oh, BTW:

QFT

"Free Speech in the way I understand it (and I am not responsible for things others say), means to be not limited or censored in the manner of speaking with reason."

Clever way to define "Freedom of Speech" as to make your own act benign. Doesn't change the fact that Jay is banned and you are not.

"Jay has been way mad about this matter and it is no wonder he is banned from our site considering how he behaved and what he said."

Again, the posts from you and the others have been no better.

"Trolls need to go."

Take a good look at the pic I posted. Who is advocating trolling whose site? Is this the kind of "speaking with reason" you were referring to? You seem to take offense at being accused of calling someone a nazi, and yet you did exactly that? Either you are very forgetful, or you are choosing to ignore your own misguided posts and actions.

Propaganda.

"Anyone who acts like this, will have to leave our forum, no exceptions."

As such, you are admittedly more heavy-handed in regards to what is posted in your forum than he is. Interesting.....

"For example: give a kid everything they could possibly want to play with and they tend to get spoiled and lose their imagination and creativity, whereas a poor kid with fewer toys has to use his imagination to create things out of what's within his grasp."

I've read studies where kids are given a task to accomplish, and various random pieces and tools to accomplish the task. "Regular" kids will pick just the tools they need to get the job done, whereas "gifted" children attempt to use almost every single piece in Rube Goldberg-fashion, making the task overly difficult and time-consuming.

Hell, I recall my wife watching some reality show about teams looking for buried treasure around the world, and the "genious" team out-thunk themselves in one episode. They rationalized the completely opposite and wrong answer, whereas other teams found it an easy decision to make (I don't recall the specifics - I'm not a big "reality show" fan.)

Agreed, Chaltab.

"one isolated incident seems to be small as long as it doesn't affect oneself."

And having something happen personally to someone doesn't mean they get to overblow its importance either. We can do this all night long, if need be.

Boon, I'm not saying what you are going through isn't bad, but the level of propoganda you are raising this up to isn't helping to make your case. Hell, You are calling Jay a "nazi" and crying censorship because he is editing your posts, but YOU banned HIM from your site! How can you cry foul, when yours is easily the WORST act of censorship? Are you willing to give him his "Freedom of Speech" back at your boards, or are you just throwing this "Freedom of Speech" phrase around because you think it'll rally folks who aren't paying attention to these details to your side?

This has been going overboard for some time, but no one can claim a moral victory when pots and kettles are calling each other black.

"Do movies have to be enjoyable to watch? I would say no, especially when it's about content which affects people. Often in negative ways. Might as well challenge the audience. Now to what degree you go to do this is up to the director for most of you'se this one seems to have gone to far."

Uhmmmmm.........what?

"If you read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," I think you'll see what I mean. That's not a Bladerunneresque future either, but the film brought out Dick's ideas better than a faithful adaptation would have."

Agreed. I could barely get through the first few chapters.

"Play Director/Writer where would you have taken this film?"

Sorry, but that's not a requirement for criticizing a movie. You may not like their opinion, but they are as entitled to it as you are yours. You are just trying to get them to stop saying anything negative, so your rationale is on as flimsy a basis as you perceive theirs to be.

And I don't get where you keep calling this visual a "challenge". How the hell does it make watching the film a "challenge". Seems to me you are implying that it does make watching the film difficult, which would imply that it actually detracts from the film, rather than adding to it.

"It seems a lot of people agree with me that this style of animation is unpleasant to watch."

I think it's a far cry from other "adult" animations, such as Heavy Metal. Seems more like a gimmick to me.
