Nope. Not passive-aggressive. Just pointing out new trends in technology. I'm not aggressive at all, and put up with whatever happens in movie theaters, including loud talkers and people on cell phones. I like going to the movies. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't go.

But this forum question is all about cell-phone jamming in theaters. I'm for it.

Unbelievable. So you want to jam all phone signals (even if the cell phone is set to vibrate- not ring) -- which means, you want to jam a doctor's cell phone and preventing him from receiving an emergency call?

I was at the theater last week and a father had to excuse himself with his little girl 3 times because she needed a potty break. -- Would you also ban kids as well?

Where does it say that you have an absolute right not to be inconvenienced?

"this forum question is all about cell-phone jamming in theaters. I'm for it."

I should have read further before I responded to you. I thought you were in the minority, but on this thread you most decidedly aren't the minority.

But, in this case the majority is just wrong. Wrong on law, wrong on principle, wrong on what is a reasonable response to life's annoyances, wrong on what's in the best interest of the public.....I could go on, but I'm sure my arguments won't convince you, or most other folks who would love to have the power to interrupt people's cellphone conversations with a jammer - not because they should, but because they think they can - with no regard for anyone else - only their own self-important "right" to not be annoyed.

It's a slam dunk. The theaters will lose this one, and the whiners will still get to whine about how awful and antisocial everyone ELSE is.....
