Talk about condescending!



Did someone mention condescending?



This touting for votes is really deplorable!

I don't remember asking your opinion on anything, Saloppo!

I was under the impression that one was allowed to respond to threads. My mistake.

This is at least the fourth time (s)he has started such a thread. I think the harm is that the impatience is demoralising for Benj and the MERPs, something that you have attempted to lecture me on before.

Your reply was incredibly condescending and mind-numbingly literal.

Why shouldn't it get a literal response? There was no reason to think (s)he was being metaphorical or that (s)he did not actually care about the delay. I intentionally responded in a deadpan way in order to point out how pointless it was to start a whole thread (again) about his/her own backlog.

Saloppo, I think you need to do a bit more work on that wiseass deadpan act - it's a long way off from being funny or even moderately amusing.

I hate to contribute to this forum, but since i'ts already on the top while I'm posting this...
PKMN, please change your avatar. I can't tell if there's actually nudity or not, but sometimes I access fwfr from my school's computers, and it just seems creepy to see someone looking at pornography in the library.

In America nudity isn't as culturally accepted as it is in Europe. I personally don't mind because I think nudity should be personal but I know I am in the minority.

But my point is that there's a BIG diff between nudity -- Goya, Renoir, ancient Greek sculpture, Michelangelo, et al -- and pornography. I'm not saying I think PKMN's avatar is artistic, or even tasteful ... but it's a lady floating in some water. Why would that be pornographic Am I missing something

My review processing rate has only gone up from 1 in two weeks to 5 in 10 days.

Another fwiffer has had over 200 processed in the last 6 weeks compared to my 15.

It is a fact of life that, for whatever reasons, fwiffers do not get equal amounts of reviews processed during the same time period. I have noticed this since I started on fwfr.

So for some people the submission cap might not be noticeably affecting their review processing rate.

I am just stating facts in order to explain why some fwiffers may still end up expressing frustration in posts. As for myself, I became zen about the whole wait time thang many moons ago



Speaking of the moon, I actually mooned people not too long ago when my reviews weren't getting accepted...
Anyhow, you're not alone Shiv... we share the same "space of belonging" well... sans the zen... if that's any condolence to you.
But alas I don't think that some reviewers have a privilage or so, it's just that movies with a load of pending reviews get faster on a accepting repertoar, and some movie piles must go a whole equatorial circle.
