Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You know, we're all joking, and it's all nice and well, but I think I'd feel awful if they revealed JW really is suffering from anal itching.The more I read into this, the more I'm convinced that is what it is. Obviously, they wouldn't come out and say that that is what is troubling him so they'd come up with a reasonable excuse. Back trouble seems like a logical cover-up. In addition, if JW is stricken with a severe case of anal itching, it would certainly explain why he is having difficulty conducting and why the most recent footage of him is from the shoulders up.

Or maybe they just lead a sheltered life and have never seen that place before.As for this topic, well, we can't pretend that we haven't already lost one of the most well-known composers this year, so that would obviously add the worry of losing another, especially as iconic as John Williams.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 At least you recognize it. One wonders how many times you can express your puzzlement over this place and everyone here. I haven't been here very long and it's already gotten old. Especially telling that it comes out in strength when the place is criticized and it's comfortable to put a little distance between yourself and us. I can only hope that you also recognize how this might sour people that you may be involved with or seek to be involved with in the real world.

Thor 7,529 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 No worries. Jay, Ricard and others are well aware of my view in this regard -- I've even mentioned it to the good JWFAN folks I've met in real life. Just because I don't connect with the 'general atmosphere' here doesn't mean we can't get along in real life. An internet forum and a real-life table discussion are two very different things.

Where you don't really fit in.Poor HagaActually, my true 'film score forum' home is Maintitles.net -- the best film music forum on the internet. I feel at ease at FSM too, despite certain individuals who always take opposing viewpoints as personal affronts. In fact, even at JWFAN, when there's a good discussion that I'm interested in and that manages to be more or less on-topic and adult in tone, I feel fine here too. But I appreciate the consideration, Cosmatos.It is interesting that just because I express a personal dissatisfaction with the 'general atmosphere', a lot of you take it personally -- yet I've never really mentioned anyone in particular. It's just a general tone that seems to have established itself a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It's because you frequently express "personal dissatisfaction" with this place whilst still frequenting it.

Thor 7,529 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Fair enough.

TownerFan 4,984 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm here since the very early days of this place, so I guess I learned to understand its in's and out's. While I've never been a truly active poster, I always enjoyed the good-natured spirit and the lighthearted tone of JWFan. But I understand that in the latter years it became a lot more self-referential and somehow more exclusive to the point where sometimes it's difficult to get it. It's part of the game actually, as discussion boards like this are somehow being surpassed by other social media outlets like Facebook, where people engage more directly with each other and create their own network of friendships and connections, so a lot of them probably don't feel the need to replicate discussions they're already having in other places. Like Thor, I too don't get most of the (zillions) inside jokes and verbal sparring between some users, which sometimes get very nasty and ugly, and that's what keeps me away from most discussions, even if sometimes I'd like to contribute. But I understand this is what JWFan today is and that's what probably keeps it going on, and that's totally fine with me. I check it everyday, even though most of the time I don't feel attached to it anymore. Romão and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,529 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Change? Would that be fair, for the entirety of the forum to change to fit your very specific wishes?No. As I said, it's not realistic. But I can't help having the preferences that I do, and inevitably one wants things to stick as close to that as possible -- even if it's just a pipe dream. In this case, my own preference goes against the preference held by most of the active participants. That's fine. I have to live with it, which I have. But I also need to 'vent' once in a while.
