How is this broken recordry not viewed as highly disruptive on the simple basis its constantly deployed to derail discussions?

Isn't consistent, frequent disruption something being cracked down on?

Feel to be as illogical as you will and keep on writing the crap of the day here and all the other places you land on.

Put the shovel down Scot.

Go away.

Worzel Gummidge terrified me as a kid. I honestly can't remember why, but I refused to watch it.

I sometimes wonder if peer pressure as something to do with it?

Nah, my fear of worzel gummidge was entirely a creation of my own making.

Although I also never liked Jon Pertwee as Dr Who. I found him slightly creepy.

Maybe not you but others? A group can evoke a strong feeling about certain things.

I don't recall anyone else, be it my classmates at school or my siblings, having any issue with the show.
Not that I remember ever actually telling anyone at school my dislike of the show.

I am not referring just to that show but other situations where a group could impose a sense of fear regarding a film etc.

We had an old house in a wood which was said by many to be haunted. Few dared to go there. It did not bother me.

My parents put the fear in my brothers and I from visiting abandoned places like that. Detailed discussions about structural integrity, the joys of tetanus and application of the trespass laws. Nary a ghostie was mentioned.

Ghosts play a large part in Scottish culture. There were ghosts everywhere. The Borders were full of them. Remnants of the Border Reivers probably. In Glencoe it is always said you can hear the MacDonalds wailing at night at certain times of the year.

I'm not sure how we've leapt from films, to abandoned houses, to Scottish culture and ghosts. I'm quite familiar with all of this but, I'm really not sure how it is relevant to the discussion.

No? In a culture where the supernatural plays a sizeable role the idea of horror in a film can be quite easily more acceptable.

Which culture is it that the supernatural plays a sizeable role?

That there are lots of Scottish ghost stories =/= the supernatural playing a sizeable role in Scottish culture.

The burger joint uses loudhailer advertising at night? Now that is terrifying!

Well, if the Mods examine this thread, they'll see that:

1. Scot joined it in post 23 saying that he had nothing to contribute to it ("No film has ever given me nightmares. Why they are just films. I used to laugh at horror films. So damn stupid.")

2. Of the next 76 posts, 14 were written by Scot; none of them answered the thread question, they were all variations on the same theme ("Are people really scared by films? Honestly?", "You get frightened by that? Really". "Well why are people scared of films?". "I find it totally illogical being afraid of images which you know are not real." "That is your problem. I have never had that problem." etc).

3. At least two people told Scot that they weren't interested in discussing why horror films are frightening which would only derail the thread.

4. The thread died in May (until I bumped it on Saturday) after Scot's final mocking contribution to it ("Scary. :lol").

%. To cap it all, Scot then returns to the thread and finally makes an actual contribution to the topic, as if none of his previous posts had ever happened. Unsurprisingly, this pisses some people off. And Scot then accuses Fallible of trolling.




It's pretty damn obvious to me what has been happening here. And it's not Fallible who has been trolling.

That post is worthy of an Orson. If I had a reliable link to the gif, I would have used that instead.

Stop trolling. Why is my posting history so important to you? Weird.
