Stop Uwe Boll
TheFuriousWombat:
To be fair, those guys really suck as well.

I don't care about his movies. I haven't even seen them. But there has been no evidence to suggest he's a nice man, or a smart man, yet there's plenty of evidence to suggest that he himself, is a very very "angry nerd".

oh darryl, why do you make it so easy to dismiss your arguments?
Sox:
Well, it is incredibly easy when people have an attention span as selective as yours.
Sox:
Does anybody really believe that Uwe Boll will stop making movies if a million people ask him to? I don't. But I do expect that it'd hurt his gigantic ego, and a little humility is a good thing. Maybe, just maybe, one million critics will make him reconsider his methods too. Again, by no means a bad thing.
Critics are not this hilarious entity that deserves to be ridiculed. That's just as ridiculous as saying somebody should stop making art because you don't like it. Critics are just as important as the artist.
On the very same subforums where a majority of people have said Nickelback are a huge joke that deserve rocks be thrown at them, people are saying that Uwe Boll critics be ridiculed and dismissed for wanting to show their disapproval of his methods. Infact, some of the same individuals that think it's okay to throw objects at bands think it's okay to support Uwe Boll to piss of people that don't like him. That's pretty astounding.
You read it here first people. The QC forums think it's okay to throw rocks at people, and that it's okay to ridicule people for being vocal about an opinion.
To summarise:
-Man uses questionable methods to produce cheap movies at the expense of other people in order to make a profit.
-People question methods and artistic merit of said movies
-Man calls these people idiots, uses a thinly disguised media event as an excuse to beat on said people.
-Petition is started to teach the man some humility
-Man arrogantly dismisses petitions, states it'd take "a million" critics to make him reconsider his methods
-People begin to sign petition, get vocal in order to bring man down a peg or two
-Some more people decide the critics are a big joke and that it'd be funnier to dismiss their opinions and provoke/ridicule them rather than ignore the topic on which they have no opinion, but choose to contribute to anyway.
-People get bored of thread and go back to talking about how funny and cool it was that somebody urinated on the Mars Volta's expensive equipment and reminisce about the time that somebody landed a rock on Chad Kroeger's head.
Sox:
You're completely and totally correct. I need to work on my reading comprehension skill somewhat. I have to admit that I feel like something of an asshat for completely missing the point and misinterpreting the intention of the petition, and the majority of post in this thread. I picked my arguments poorly and chose the completely wrong thread for them. I presented them in a way that screams "I don't know what I am talking about!" and I'll try harder in the future.

That is never funny! Dude got hit by a rock by somebody who thought it'd be funny to hit him with a rock. Coulda put a dude's eye out. A rock is a projectile weapon.
