No problem. Maybe it's in everyone's best interest if we all just respect each others thoughts and move on with looking forward to Entry #67.

I let this thread stand on its own because it was, at that time, a good example of a discussion without arguments or insults.

This is a warning to all three of you (Magyk, twistedpuppet, SaigoSentinel) to stop arguing about "filler" if you can't be civil with your points and going after each other.

[Magyk]

With all due respect, Zarggg, you'll be hard pressed to find a post where I haven't maintained civility. The closest I've come to an insult is use of the word"PuppetLand."

Sorry, I just don't like being lumped into a group I don't think I belong in. (In this case, an uncivil or disrespectful one.)

* twistedpuppet * tries really really really hard to stifle laughter.

I know why you posted it, it doesn't change the fact that it's clearly instigatory (whether or not that is the intent.)

So? I was not online at the time. Doesn't mean I wouldn't eventually come back & see that someone had responded to me.

Besides, the Filler Debate is an overarching problem I have on this forum, much like the complaints, even though I don't think they are a big deal, are considered an overarching problem to the OP, such that they motivated him to make this topic.

Hence why I decided to elaborate on my distaste for it.

For the record, I don't think Zarg has a problem with the "filler debate" per se, just the questionable civility of some of the comments made. If someone wants to comment on it hours-after-the-fact, I don't really think there's anything wrong with it.

Agree with Lithp on the whole who-really-gives-a-shit-if-its-filler-or-not argument. I, and a few others, have said it is. Many have said they do not agree. It all boils down to personal definition of the word filler.

[Lithp]

My concern was that my own comment was arguably hostile, but looking it over, I decided there really wasn't a better way to say it, so I'd just let it be & see what happens.

As far as the Filler Debate goes, I don't think it's completely subjective, but getting people to agree on criteria that could actually be relevant to Marble Hornets is all but impossible, so I'd settle for agreeing to disagree.

[Zarggg]

Yes, sadly I often get here long after the arguments/explosions/whatever are over due to my schedule, but I still don't like seeing them.

It's okay to disagree. It's pretty much expected. But it's the constant back-and-forth, questionably inflammatory posting that I take issue with. If you've presented your side of an argument, but the other side does not seem willing to recognize it or take it to mind, then both sides should really move on.

We're supposed to be discussing the events of series and theories thereof, not having debates on what is or is not acceptable to us, as viewers.

Particularly not in a thread titled "In Defense of Marble Hornets."
