Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Movie Review
Neoavatara ^ | June 29, 2011 | Neoavatara

Posted on 06/29/2011 6:54:11 AM PDT by Neoavatara

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third in the Transformers series, is in some ways the perfect summer movie. A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.

The movie starts with a basic concept: that the space race in the Cold War was focused on reaching the moon first, not for its scientific achievement, but to obtain alien technology that both the Soviets and Americans secretly knew had crashed on the dark side of the moon millenia ago. Americans, led by Neil Armstrong, get there first...but keep the information hidden.

Heated? Who has lost his temper?

No one wants anyone to be thrown off the site. If bloggers would comply with this one simple suggestion from the site owner, there would be no ZOTs, no Pimpbusters trying to explain, and no blog pimp whores slithering around the thread trying unsuccessfully to justify blog pimp behavior.

Peace and harmony for this one small thing: [note to crazycanine:] If you wrote it, post it all here.

Here is your post 126:

You cannot be so dense that you don’t know the difference between a blogger who has produced his own material and one who has copied from someone else.

Are you pretending to confuse the two? It is abundantly clear that Jim Robinson’s polite request is that bloggers who have their own material to contribute to Free Republic post it in full.

It’s really very simple, but the smoke and mirrors surrounding your arguments turn it into a risible game that you are obviously trying to play. And the only reason you play is because you know you’re defending a blog pimp, and you know it is wrong to do so.

Notice it is in reply to post 121:

To: humblegunner

"I never asked for such nor promoted such and that isn't the issue with blogpimps."

you have said repeatedly that most blog pimps are reprints from other sources. Logic tells us they don't hold the copyright. Yet you repeatedly want them to post the whole piece. So make up your mind either you want them to reprint the whole thing on Free Republic or you don't.

Or is it a case that you ramble on so much you have no clue as to what you have posted before?

Question: Is post 121 directed at anyone else but dumbergunner(humblegunner)?

Answer: No.

So in essence you climbed into humblegunner's argument then wish not to do defend such.

And once again another example of the Blog Pimp Police have not a clue when it comes to reading comprehension.

“To: Mad Dawgg... by: Mad Dawgg”

Umm.

It would seem that you have worked yourself into quite a tizzy.

Excuse me for interrupting you and yourself, but your post is an unreadable jumble without the proper formatting.

If you’re going to try to imitate me (which is the sincerest form of flattery, so thank you!) at least get it right.

It’s nice to see that you’ve been reduced to talking to yourself. It’s a typical reaction to the Pimpbusters, but it doesn’t usually happen so fast!

Ping to you, humblegunner because I think that Mad Dawgg mentioned your name in there somewhere.

Not true.

At any time, Mr. Robinson or his direct associates can tell us what we can and cannot do. It is ultimately his site, and we only have as much freedom as he is willing to give us.

If he states I am wrong, and over the bounds, I will happily accept his ruling. He, not you, is the ultimate determiner of what is acceptable.

So in fact, the analogy is you and I vising Mr. Robinson’s house, I start smoking and YOU tell me to leave, without understanding whether or not Mr. Robinson and I have and an understanding.

So I am disappointed you are upset, but that will in no way change my behavior.

But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=552#552

But you don't care about what Jim says. You don't care about community standards.

You just want your blog hits. Like a crack pipe.

Mr. Robinson is one man, and his time is better spent taking care of his own business.

He does not have time to babysit the bloggers’ forum, and he has delegated that authority, in writing, to humblegunner.

Jim has written several posts stating his wishes about preferred blogger behavior on his site. You have been presented with those posts, but you persist in blowing off Jim’s expressed wishes.

Are you and your minions going to continue to stomp your feet and cry about what Jim Robinson wants on his own site, or will you simply post your original content here and end all this hassle?

No. You had a logic fail. Your logic is like saying “I support gay marriage and I applaud gay marriage bans.” Your logic is wacky, and your attempt at pretending to play both sides is so lame.

OK let us keep it simple then:

Question: "is your post 126 a reply to Post 121?

(Let us save time) Answer: Yes!

Was Post 121 addressed to you or dumbergunner (humblegunner)

Answer: dumbergunner (humblegunner)

here is my part of post 121:

you have said repeatedly that most blog pimps are reprints from other sources. Logic tells us they don't hold the copyright. Yet you repeatedly want them to post the whole piece. So make up your mind either you want them to reprint the whole thing on Free Republic or you don't.

Or is it a case that you ramble on so much you have no clue as to what you have posted before?

Your reply in 126 was as follows:

"You cannot be so dense that you don’t know the difference between a blogger who has produced his own material and one who has copied from someone else.

Are you pretending to confuse the two? It is abundantly clear that Jim Robinson’s polite request is that bloggers who have their own material to contribute to Free Republic post it in full.

It’s really very simple, but the smoke and mirrors surrounding your arguments turn it into a risible game that you are obviously trying to play. And the only reason you play is because you know you’re defending a blog pimp, and you know it is wrong to do so."

My reply in post 132.

It may be Mr Robsinson's request (yet he makes it not a rule) but I wasn't addressing Mr. Robinson I was Addressing Blog Pimp Policeman dumbergunner. Who routinely claims that Blog Pimps should post their work in full and refuses to click the link then states most Blog Pimps use second hand material.

You do see the problem with such an argument don't you?

Then you post about being confused why I would draw you into dumbergunner's argument when it was you who entered into such in the first place.

post 136:

"So... You expect me to make my own arguments and humblegunner's arguments as well? He has no need for me to defend his position, for he is more than capable of doing that himself. If you don't understand the plain English that we are speaking and need some help understanding the simple, one-sentence concept that we are attempting to explain to you, I suggest an ESL course forthwith.

I see you are still dancing around with the smoke machine and the fancy MylarTM mirrors. But you don't fool me for a second. I've met your kind before.

and realize all the above is posted due to your lack of reading comprehension.

alas though as I read such a quote that involves round spherical precious jewels from the sea and the species porcine comes to mind.

I already told you that blogpimp threads rarely get deleted (if they do it is usually because the pimp outright plagarized from another site). It is not uncommon, however, for the pimps themselves to get the zot. I have told you this already. Did you not understand the first time?

Oh get over yourself.

Why not look at my posting history and report all the times I intruded into other discussions? I assure you that I do it all the time, so you should have no trouble finding all the instances of it and posting them here. If it takes you as long as it took for your last post, I’ll see you next Wednesday.

Usually when someone enters the conversation, the other posters begin seamlessly conversing with the “intruder.” If Free Republic were so “beloved” to you, you would know that and not throw that up in my face five posts later in the middle of another exchange.

I completely agree that you are a mad dog, Crazy canine.

Since they like to pretend they don't get the point of your analogy, and avoid the point by wordsmithing the analogy, maybe an adaptation like the following will appease them: Jim Rob has himself one big house. He can't be the perfect host and be everywhere all the time - has important host duties, ya know? He allows smoking, but clearly has asked smokers to act gracious whilst smoking.

A guest lights up one cheap-ass cigar. There are guest in the room, sensitive to the stank. They ask the smoker to take it elsewhere. A couple other guests with racid gas encourage the smoker to stay, figuring the rude guest's cloud helps cover their stank. No laws were broken, no one was asked to leave.

"I already told you that blogpimp threads rarely get deleted."

That is nice but again a "non sequitir".

Your post: "Blogpiping is NOT proper"

My reply: "Oh so if such is so why aren't supposed Blog Pimp Threads deleted?"

it is not proper to post copyrighted material without the author's permission therefore such threads are deleted.

Yet your supposed Blog Pimp threads aren't deleted. Yet you claim they are not proper. The owners and the mods have the power to delete such threads yet they don't. Logic tells us they are proper or they would be deleted.

Is this too hard for you to comprehend?

People respond to comments that were not directed to them all the time. You see that on almost every thread, and definitely all the longer ones. I’m not sure what this dude’s problem is. Sheesh.
