Page 1 of What does this say about me?
General Forum
Now, I`m either going to get a right rollocking (for what I`m not sure), or I`ll get even more confused.
There are comments going back and forth between me and `Miss Missouri` on YMDb that`s led her to ask me to stop harassing her!!! I`ve included one comment from Cuba Boy since this is nice and I need all the nice things I can get.
Below is a cut and paste of the goings on:
Miss Missouri wrote on 3 February 2003:
I was very surprised at your list. I am reading comments by you on the lists of other chastising them for not listing more "older" movies - yet you have very few yourself - including fluff like "When Harry Met Sally" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Instead of beating up the newbies for their choices, accentuating on the positive and appreciating the diversity of opinion about movies might keep more movie fans participating here!

Never let it be said that I chastise, far from it as you`re the only one who doesn`t actually read what I`ve written. There`s always humour in what I say, and I always appreciate lists of others. I`m not a hypocrite.
Miss Missouri wrote on 3 February 2003:
Where`s the humor in that message?
Anil Khedun wrote on 4 February 2003:
Well, I didn`t think it appropriate to add any humour to my last msg here since you didn`t `get` any of the others I wrote. Nevermind...
Miss Missouri wrote on 4 February 2003:
I don`t understand why someone billed as a "professional" reviewer would resort to petty insult. Can you explain?
Cuba Boy wrote on 4 February 2003:
Ouch. But then I don`t understand why Miss Missouri would advise another YMDB contributor to "get a girlfriend"... Anil`s always been charming to me, despite hating some of my movie choices.
Miss Missouri wrote on 4 February 2003:
Well, then you and I disagree, Cuba Boy. Have a nice day.
Anil Khedun wrote on 4 February 2003:
Wow, only "petty insult"? I`ll try harder next time. You`re the only person that has had any issue with any comment that I`ve posted on other lists, and so since none were directed to you, I remain puzzled as to why you feel the need to charge on your white horse! No one`s minded in the slightest at what I`ve said; I`m always polite and I`d be the first to apologise to hurting the feelings of others. Besides, a little jovial friction doesn`t do anyone any harm as long as it doesn`t get out of hand leading into outright flaming! Let`s just disagree on our approach, shall we, and leave it at that.
Miss Missouri wrote on 4 February 2003:
I don`t know why you are doing this, Anil, but I am nicely requesting that you stop posting flames in my comment section. Thank you, in advance.
Anil Khedun wrote on 4 February 2003:
Fair enough, but my comments are not flames. I`m simply replying to the comments you make that concern me.
Miss Missouri wrote on 4 February 2003:
I have asked you nicely to stop, but you continue to harass me. I`ll leave it to others to interpret what that says about you.
So, let`s leave it to others to interpret. Am I harassing her or merely defending my position?
RE: What does this say about me?
I totally understand where you`re coming from Anil, she sounds like a complete nutjob to me. I always thought feedback sections were for precisely that, feedback. Positive or negative. This silly cow is totally delusional, she shows that by her hillarious later postings in that thread above.
RE: What does this say about me?
You`re defending your position. IMHO. It seems that this person cannot find a valid rebuttal to your comments and is, for lack of a better analogy, putting her fingers in her ears and singing "la, la, la..."
looking at the posts you have pasted here, it seems Miss Missouri had wanted to pick an arguement. as I`ve discovered many times on this forum and others, everyone has an entitlement to their respective opinions, she just seems to have objected to yours. It happens.
Eh, if you are harassing her, then she is harassing you by replying, which makes her a bit of a hypocrite. Ah, too many "h" words. I would say that she didn`t give you much choice but to defend your position, which you did.
You`ve never said anything wrong that I`ve read on the YMDB. Maybe its that time of the month. Better lay off for a few days ;-)
RE: What does this say about me?
Thanks for your comments guys :-)
RE: What does this say about me?
I think Miss Missouri is mistaking constructive critisism for put-down and she needs to mind her own business. She is the one with the problem and you are in no way harrassing her.
RE: What does this say about me?
She seems like what Melvin Udall would call
"A last-word freak!!!!!!!"
RE: What does this say about me?
she definately needs a therapist!!!
RE: What does this say about me?
BUNNY BOILER!!!!!!!!!!! springs to mind with that woman.
Take no notice Anil your just expressing an opinion totally opposite to hers and if she can`t take it from you or from anybody for that matter then she shouldn`t go on the internet because thats what shes going to get.

The last msg on Miss Missouri`s page now states:

This list is closed.
She`s so far had 666 number of visitors to her page. Sounds rather ominous...
