 Re: Chill out.
Not to point fingers at anyone... *cough*A-specific-moderator-trash-talking-in-the-Mishka-thread*cough*
But yeah, I've seen some other crap going on in Japan Toys too.
So strange, it's like people acting likes its the end of the world, turning into savages, burning witches, eating moonpies! All hell is breaking loose!

 Re: Chill out.
It seems like most of the vittrol is in this particular forum, some in the Japan toys forum, so I posted it here. There are a great many people who live up to the critique, so if it sounds like you, it might be meant for you. It's getting a little mob mentality out there...

 Re: Chill out.
I just click "active topics" when viewing so for me it was in the main list. "Vitriol" is such a great word when talking about venom and spite.

 Re: Chill out.
http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=27992this whole "elitist" eric dude posts negatively about power rangers, and this flynn dude gives it a "= bad" post. i fucking love power rangers. but, apparently, it can be ridiculed openly, while other ridiculing gets a "watch your step" feedback. bull. shit.

There are negative comments about toys, just being a dick and then there is getting in a pissing match. I'm pretty sure Brian was speaking about the later two. Maybe there is more to this than I know but honestly I try and filter out the bullshit. If toy collecting does not make someone happy and they are overwhelmed by what bothers them, then I feel bad for them. It is supposed to be fun and we can all like whatever the fuck we want. I don't think Brian is suggesting we start talking about urban vinyl over here. Yes once in a while it pops up but it is quickly talked down. Mods erasing bullshit is fine with me, people should handle their business rather than turning into two drunk nerds in a proverbial toy bar. If they are erasing criticism or thoughts then that sucks. None the less, how does one not grow tired of the geek tantrums and desire to get back to enjoying toys? I don't think Brian or I am trying to tell you to be a happy, shiny person but do you really enjoy reading through verbal slap fights in multiple threads?

 Re: Chill out.
Dude, slm... That thread is from 2009. A lot of stuff has changed since then. The most interesting thing I notice in that thread is that there is a whole lot of shit talking going on. And yet everyone is having a good time with it. No accusations of anyone thinking they are better than the rest, no seriousness behind the name calling, etc. slipstar01 wrote: Isn't this just a yearly sort of thing? Last year about this time, Brian posted the same sort of message, because "same as last year", the flood gates were opened to throngs of kids that heard about SB, through the pre SDCC grapevine? I know some of the heavy hitters, are back to spread the word, about where they'll be appearing, what shoes they'll be wearing, and how much better they are than the world, but I'm guessing after a few months of bitterness, they'll sink back into the woodwork, and not a peep will be heard until the same time next year. ^^ Yeah. That's it.

 Re: Chill out.
Wasn't inferring a negative about you, per se, as I have no idea what spawned that. Just saying wow, yeah, saying a toy that I think sucks sucks is just horrible. And there is so much suckage. At least we have the b i t c h filter. Russblue11 wrote: Just reminding people what kind of person he is. People have messaged me approving it

 Re: Chill out.
It's a "character" of his. It's him acting like Cartman, he calls it Francis… it's fake and not funny… am I allowed to say that?

I was once shoved by a guy I knew in high-school for a Bossk toy. Dude was yelling and running down a Toys R Us aisle, "BOOOOSSSKK!" and slammed right into me for the thing! Luckily I was 300 lbs at the time (luck?) and he was like 90 lbs. That story and all has nothing to do with chilling out, sorry.
