What I continue is whiners in these threads all too sadkly. I get no recognition for the fact that i support a compromise which i would hope would make you happy and all i continue to see is "Nooooooooooo, we don't want a compromise, we want it OUR wat, we want another IMDb mess." Give me a break.

I really do hope that one day Ken will allow for "correct" names to be used with the CLT. Even though I am afraid that documentation will go by the boards in favor of "It is because I am French and that's how we do it" or German, Greek or whatever. I find it very sad since my heritage is French, German and Welsh that some of the most vocal are insulting my own heritage.

No one is insulting your ethnic heritage, they are insulting your personality, which is insulting to most users here.

Taro and All;

I have carefully explained ghow this was setup and WHY. OK. I have also repeated ly said that the Online is culturally blind, you simply enter the data as you SEE it, not as you imagine it to be. This applies to all, Chow Yun-Fat, sometimes François Truffaut or whatever. If the data is there fine, if it does not appear then don't add it and i have suggested a way this could be achieved which has not been addressed. For my trouble I get people who me essentially culturally ignorant" or whatever and then you have temerity to get pissy when i have had enogh and fire back.

Not interested this discussion as far as i am concerned is OVER. You keep giving me the SAME tired old arguments which are rooted in culture and I give bacjk the same arguments rooted in data. If you can't accept the compromise that I have suggestde many times, then I don't want to hear it anymore. I am clearly unable to teach anybody hear about DATA, and i am not interested in your culture-based arguments, nor am I interested the insulting remarks of more than a few, so the compromise is on the table and if ken asks me about it I will support it 100%, but I will not accept any other answer that is not based on the ACTUAL data.

Ken has SAID previously that we are not after the "Correct" name necessarily, and he has also said
C=c it is not C=ç, as Martian called it is a one to one thing, Ç=ç

I have said this before, kind of tongue in cheek, but IF thios really really offends you then take your beef to those that provide the data...the filmmakers. Let them know that you believe that THEY should start following cultural naming conventions and that your insulted that they do not. I personally don't think you will get very far...but have at it. I will happily list whatever data they present in the form they present. If surfeur could convince Steven Spielberg to change the data to read FRANÇois TRUFFAUT, I would probably pass out and then list François Truffaut, but THAT still would not change the OLD film prints.

If your spelling mistakes are inside jokes can you please please stop so that your posts are a bit more easier to read? Especially if these jokes are only for you.

I am out with this thread it is going nowhere and no one here is interested in ANY kind of compromise. They want an IMDb clone, GARBAGE in other words.

Mr. Vibrating:  Oh I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? 
Man:  Ah! Just the five minutes. 
Mr. Vibrating:  Ah, thank you.
Anyway, I did. 
Man:  You most certainly did not! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Look, let's get this thing clear: I quite definitely told you! 
Man:  No you did not! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes I did! 
Man:  No you didn't! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes I did! 
Man:  No you didn't! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes I did! 
Man:  No you didn't! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes I did! 
Man:  You didn't! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Did! 
Man:  Oh look, this isn't an argument! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes it is! 
Man:  No it isn't! It's just contradiction! 
Mr. Vibrating:  No it isn't! 
Man:  It IS! 
Mr. Vibrating:  It is NOT! 
Man:  Look, you just contradicted me! 
Mr. Vibrating:  I did not! 
Man:  Oh, you DID! 
Mr. Vibrating:  No no no! 
Man:  You did just then! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Nonsense! 
Man:  (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!! 
Mr. Vibrating:  No it isn't! 
Man:  I came here for a good argument! 
Mr. Vibrating:  No you didn't, no, you came here for an argument! 
Man:  An argument isn't just contradiction. 
Mr. Vibrating:  CAN be! 
Man:  No it can't! An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. 
Mr. Vibrating:  No it isn't! 
Man:  Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction. 
Mr. Vibrating:  Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position! 
Man:  Yes but that's not just saying "no it isn't". 
Mr. Vibrating:  Yes it is! 
Man:  No it isn't! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes. 
Mr. Vibrating:  No it isn't. 
Man:  Yes it is! 
Mr. Vibrating:  Not at all! 
Man:  Now look... 
Mr. Vibrating:  (Hits a bell on his desk) [DING] Good morning!
