Devin said that he was going to pull back from the boards and post less frequently. So, no, I don't think it's alot. Any given post might require a few more posts to flesh out my ideas and discuss them with people. So when you think of it that way I'm really not posting in many topics on a given day

You are talking about Saturdays when I work all day. The other days of the week I'm not even online long enough to post that much

PS I think 70 is an exaggeration too, BTW

EDIT: And on Saturdays I've taken to writing about art on my blog for a good chunk of the day as well, reducing my number of posts on other threads by a considerable margin. It's called "SATURDAY OF THE ARTS"

It strkes me that Kate really, really needs to read about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Errol Morris (yes, that Errol Morris) has been obsessed with this theory ever since he came across it and has devoted many tweets and his most recent NYT column to it.

Quote:
As Dunning read through the article, a thought washed over him, an epiphany.* If Wheeler was too stupid to be a bank robber, perhaps he was also too stupid to know that he was too stupid to be a bank robber — that is, his stupidity protected him from an awareness of his own stupidity.
---

Quote:
Dunning and Kruger argued in their paper, “When people are incompetent in the strategies they adopt to achieve success and satisfaction, they suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it.* Instead, like Mr. Wheeler, they are left with the erroneous impression they are doing just fine.”

It became known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect — our incompetence masks our ability to recognize our incompetence.* But just how prevalent is this effect?
I highly recommend that everyone click on that and read it. It explains so much, and not just about our collective inability to get through to Kate the concept that her opinions are neither required nor wanted in every thread.

I'm barely even here anymore and she still bothers me. That probably says more about me than her, but I just don't get why she comes here to derail threads and keep a blog on a movie website message board. It's confusing.

Whoa now, it's not like Kate is the only person to have ever gone into a thread and said nothing more than, "Nah, I'll pass."

And there are people around here who make a career of going into threads they don't like and making sure people know they don't like them.

Not a dick question, by the way. I'm genuinely curious.

For instance, I'm aware there is a thread called Princess Kate's Blog or whatever it's called. I clicked on it once, just to see what it was. I wasn't engaged by what I saw, went somewhere else. Never went there again.

Princess Kate once or twice popped into The B Action Movie Thread with a question or a comment. I think we addressed her concerns and she went on her way. I don't remember if her comment was quote/unquote stupid or not. But I still don't get what all this fuss is about.

That confuses me. The fact that all of this matters and Devin actually has to make a thread just to contain it.

Here's an idea: don't talk to her. Don't reply to her. Put her on ignore. You see her name in a thread, keep scrolling and continue the conversation without her. She can't annoy you without your consent, guys.

6/22/10 at 6:55pm
I don't need to ignore her. If it's one of her big massive posts, I skip it. If it's a reasonable length I start to read it, and if it's about "I'm not sure where I left my hairbrush and, oh I slipped on a piece of cake this morning" I'll skip it. (That stuff is generally kept to her blog - mostly). If it's on topic, I'll usually read it.

Kinda like I do with all posters...

The issue isn't quoting as much as half the time people are all like

'OMG guyz, stop encouraging her' and the other half they're playing along with her.

You can't bait a bear and then demand people don't pay attention when it mauls some motherfucker.

Quoted for the motherfuckin' truth on this motherfuckin' message board. /Sammy J

There is an unidentified problem of people who have chosen to instigate her by continuing to post what for most people are clearly sarcastic jabs at her but for which she lacks the ability to see as making fun. She actually thinks people are giving her a thumbs up.

When I was in middle school the special needs kids had their own table at lunch. Every day for about a month this older kid would go over to that table and laugh at the way they were eating. He would show off, doing cruel and obnoxious things like taking a fork and poking holes in their milk cartons.

TzuDhoNihm reminds me of this kid.

Looking on the bright side, she hasn't made a truly pointless post since returning. If a former shitty and useless poster like myself can rise to the status of message board super stardom (not to mention being one half of a CELEBRITY POWER COUPLE) I'm going to cross my fingers that Kate can be not-terrible.

Genetically speaking, that's actually not always true. As far as she goes, she doesn't have to break THE RULES to be frustrating as shit.

Sorry, I don't poke fun at special needs people just for being special needs. People like Wiki have the capacity to know better. People that have that capacity and refuse to implement it deserve to be called out on it. Meatspace and/or message board be damned.

She has already shown that part of what infuriates people about her is intentionally done. This isn't a sad case of doesn't know any better this is willful.

I don't remember you being horribly shitty ever, Patrick. Maybe the name change shades my nostalgia but I always thought you were pretty decent.

That wasn't my intention, though I guess I should take credit for it. Spike was intimating violence, I prefered toilet humor, but I couldn't think of a food product guaranteed to create awful odors other than asparagus.

I thought one of the rules was think before you post. If somehow giving PK an arbitrary number of posts per day could somehow keep things level, I'm all for that, in that Dudalb rarely adds anything of worth, but doesn't spam. The problem with Kate isn't so much that she's boring, it's that she's boring at great length and great frequency.

I've come to appreciate the Kate character. My favorite Kate-asode was when she was confused as to why she couldn't get "Miracle" from Netflix during the hockey fever inducing Winter Olympics.

Am I derailing? I don't know, I'm starting to like her a bit more than Patrick is all I'm trying to say.
post #82 of 833
6/22/10 at 8:35pm
Seriously, people dislike Patrick? Why? I've clashed with the guy, but that was more over me being stupid than anything. I'd argue he's one of the chewers that does the most for film discussion that doesn't write for the main page.

I think this is a good example of what's half the problem: not the actual content of her posts but the way they're presented. Which of course plays a huge part in the way they are interpreted.

But she gave us the eating a dolphin chud meme for which I shall be ever grateful.

Ryan,

Serious question: could you please explain what you mean when you talk about the style of my posts? What is wrong with SATURDAY OF THE ARTS?

I have been thinking this all over at great length and I am intent on making a serious effort to try to fit in better here. I am not going to suddenly like GREASE sing alongs just because they are popular, but helpful advice on specifically how to bother people less would be very welcome

Doesn't work with me. But coffee always makes my piss smell like coffee. And very strong too. I really enjoy my morning pisses for this reason.

Not a derail. Just an observation.

Too much info? Apologize... Moving on.

I'd agree with you if it were an Andy Kaufman-type thing where she intentionally just wants to fuck with people. But I don't think that's the case.

I suppose I could say it's kind of endearing.

Sort of.

Because people love attention. Good or bad, at least it's attention. When I first started posting here, my opinions would often get shit from Dre and Devin. Although I probably came off like a defensive little bitch, I was actually flattered that they acknowledged me.

Then I realized that getting shit is part of the Chud hazing process.

Now they don't respond to my posts as much. And it makes me sad.

But life goes on.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I don't find endless spam and memes or catchphrases (chud-munity (c)) to be entertaining. Not horribly offensive, they're just unnecessary.

However, I wish someone that was temporarily banned for one week would have a little more dignity or shame to keep her posts to an absolute minimum from now on. A rational person in that situation would probably realize that a large majority of the people at this site are not entertained by her, or get any value from all of her spam posts, and move on. But no such luck I guess.

See my earlier post about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I strongly suspect that she DOESN'T have the capacity to know better. Not only that, but she doesn't know that she doesn't have the capacity to know better.

It actually makes her almost endearing.

For the record: the french were interested and enthusiastic to hear from an American film fan. The fact that communication was at times difficult did not piss people off, the way some on CHUD seem to think it would. They were good natured (and obsessed with AVATAR) and I had alot of fun taking a peek at film appreciation in another part of the world. Just because our modern technologies have not perfected digital translation is not an excuse to be too embarrassed to use it. I see no reason not to take advantage of these wonders of the computer age and gain a new perspective on another culture in the process

After five years of whining, it's nice to see that Devin becoming moderator has led to streamlining the "film" discussion on the boards. Between the fifteen different THESE ARE THE NEW RULES threads, good posters like BobClark getting banned, and yet another boring fucking thread about Princess Kate, I now have more places than ever to discuss the box office of Scott Pilgrim!

Except in the Box office thread. Not allowed.

As a public service...

Quote:
I love this site, because they always have the latest information on the latest movies chale. And they have incredible information about comics and other things I hallucinate. And note that the people commenting on this forum is either a whore. And have a good sense of humor. I do not know English. But I stand more or less what they say and I wanted to join the discussion. Then I used the Google translator. I hope you will understand what I mean. ... Well, I think that Avatar was a movie with the effects bastards. In other words, distracting me. But the characters seemed a little asshole and forced. And the story seemed to me half dumb. So, either the thing Pocahontas only with action. Well Yankee also with that "Those poor little Indians but they are better than us and we are the sons of bitches." In other words, his message as old as the Moor and more obvious that ass. But Cameron is still a teacher to put together the action sequences. I just think that since Titanic has decided to devote himself to making films Nanas ... Because my ñata she liked better than me and she hates action films and fantasy. But now, thanks to her, I had to cover the Avatar of shit and 3D THREE TIMES! Damn! I think he'll finish the bastard just that.
Just wanted to give Princess Kate a little idea of what she might have put those French people through (though, given their performance at the World Cup, they deserve all the grief they can get).

Though, I guess I can see how some may find that nonsense entertaining.
