Author	Topic: A word of thanks....

PeterK FishChip	To everyone here with the decency to stand up to Zimmerito's proven anti-social behavior today. While our community is virtual, we are all real people in our own real society, and I thank the majority of you for not tolerating such behavior. To be completely tolerant or indiscriminate of everything is unhealthy for any society. I am sorry to have deleted the thread as it was proof in the pudding that most of us here want decency over derogation, but certain comments and word choices sickened me. Let this message here stand in its place. My thanks again to taking on and destroying the ugliness that can sometimes surface, even if claimed as a "silly joke that does not matter." Obviously, it does with most of you, and I am grateful. "No wonder I continue visiting here."

PeterK FishChip	Now that Zimmerito has called us all Nazis and left, it's up to us to go out into the wild and find our next uncultured native who happens to have heard a soundtrack or two!

nuts_score Standard Userer	Thanks go to you Peter as well for having the heart to erase that junk. It's good to not look at it tonight as I'm sure it would have well over two pages going now. Now, shall we find ourselves a Hornerito?

SFT Standard Userer	This sure brings back memories! I wrote my very first review for MovieTunes back in....must have been 1998, when I had just gotten into film music. Man, my english was poor! But they accepted it anyway - though heavily edited Can't believe it's been over six years. I was very sad when that site closed down, but happy to continue the fun here. I've kinda grown up along side this place, though sometimes it's hard to tell that I've matured. PeterK, I want to apologize for offending you and your site with my previous remarks to zimmerito. I realize now I should have spoken differently, but sometimes frustration gets the better of me. I still very much appreciate moviemusic.com and I would never dream of leaving this place. The last few years I've been busy with many other things, but I still feel at home here. In the future I'll try to contribute more constructively. Well, enough about me. Let's talk about...music!

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	In SFT's defense, I once had gotten to a point of frustration with Daniel2 where I angrily shouted him down. I apologized the next day for my behavior although I did get a bunch of e-mails at the time telling me that it was perfectly understandable given how he was needling everybody. Since then I've learned to spot troublemakers like Zimmerito and ignore them. If they're posting a thread, there's no way it's going to go well, and if they invade one that you're participating in, you just have to ignore them. It's not worth getting so pissed at people whose lives are so empty they do stuff like this.

sakman Standard Userer	Sounds like the correct thing has been done. I recall that one of Z's very first posts here was extremely vitriolic against a specific online website reviewer that went over the line. As I watched more bizarre posts from this person, I found myself returnign less and less to this board--mostly because the posts seemed to push more interesting ones back to page two or further. No doubt someone will take his place.

Lou Goldberg Standard Userer	Not this crap again. You know how I feel about banning people over chat board "crimes". This was the reason why I left this board for over a year. So the Zim-ster swore like a sailor or called us a bunch of names. Or worse? I don't actually know what he did because I didn't see the post or the complaints about it but the way we picked on the poor guy you can hardly doubt he went ballistic. Once again I'm not sure I can agree that society (or even this board) is better for removing someone. Zim wasn't a criminal and I think we should have been tolerant. You can tune someone out without having to cut them to the quick. [Message edited by Lou Goldberg on 11-06-2005]

Howard L Standard Userer	Yeah but it seems to me that if a household pest invaded your domain you'd do everything possible to get rid of the darn thing in order to protect yourself and the rest of the occupants. When someone comes to a website with the obvious main intent of spewing infection and disease, I say get rid of the vermin and good riddance.

PeterK FishChip	Lou, it appears you are not intimate with ZimZim's participation and are tackling the field without first understanding if this is football game or a hockey fight. Tolerance for Zim lasted for several months, then he finally lost it with words you'd find offensive, unless you particularly like being racist (which you may be, but I won't go there).

[Message edited by Lou Goldberg on 11-06-2005] Lou, Before you judge Peter for his actions you should know Zimmerito posted a rather racist comment, as well as making a poor sexual joke about a composer that didn't fly well. He was asked to apologize and understand that he should refrain from such comments and instead went off on myself and others who were trying to get him to realize his insensitivity. I, and I'm sure others here, will NOT miss him after his final outbursts. James

Lou Goldberg Standard Userer	I don't like hate speech and sexism isn't a prize-winner either, but I'm for as open a forum as possible. I know, it ain't my site, I don't make the rules, and a lot of others disagree. But unless the guy is gonna get on a boat from Spain and come over to my house and try and mess with me (at which point I would shoot the fool anyway), there's just nothing he can write at a web site that I can't shrug off and ignore. I realize that extra noise makes it harder to keep the regular comments flowing but let the little Nazi skinhead say whatever he wants. At best it's colorful and at worse it's to be simply dismissed. You see what I find distasteful isn't hate speech but the marginalization of people in the name of conformity and power. The lesson never gets learned. You can ban all these guys and instead of changing their behavior, they just get isolated to the point where they really do go postal and the talk becomes real violence. And even if keeping in contact with these types can't stem them from exploding, I still like the fringe people, they remind me that humanity has a pretty wide range of expression. So if somebody wants to come here and talk film music and be a royal nuisance about it in the process I say fine but no one listens to me--they'd rather everybody be nice and homogenized and prefer to be offended and punishing.

NP Reel Big Fish[/B] Then may I kindly suggest you make your own message board and let Zimmerito rant and rave and type stupid and idiotic posts until the days end. Personally, I'd grown weary of his posts and his final outbursts were uncalled for and insulting. He had his chance to apologize and declined. End of story. James
