Quoting Winston Smith:

Ace:
Exactly where in your notes did you indicate you had looked at previous notes, your notes in fact seemed to indicate exactly the opposite. Which was why you got voted NO.


I listed the source of my data. I don't see how either the rules or common sense require that I list every step I took to try to determine why bad data had been entered. If I had found such information, I would explain what was wrong with their reasoning or why it no longer applied, but it's clearly wrong. I explained why my data was right. If you think there's some reason that the old data is correct, say what it is instead of making claims that I would know what it was if I did my research. If you find something in the notes that explains the issue, by all means, say where you found it. So far, you've done a lot of complaining about various submissions I've made. The only one where you explained your reasoning at all was M*A*S*H. In that case, your reasons were mixed with personal attacks and kind of muddled, but once people understood them, no one agreed with them. If there's something wrong with my submissions for Control Room, The Omega Man and Titanic, please explain what it is. Don't just tell em to check notes which either have no relevant information or have no obvious way to access them.

I am not going to do your work for you. My job is to evaluate your work, nothing more. You said I don't know why...but. You gave no indication that you had checked prior notes, your comment indicated that you had not and I called you on it. If you checked the notes then say so in conjunction with your I don't know why....

In short amigo communicate.clearly in your notes. If I have said this once I have said it a hundred times. Clear communication is clear and don't expect me to do work you should be doing. You are the contributor not me. Change your notes and I will reevaluate my vote. But you are still wrong on omega man and mash.  Ideally what ken would do for.other is hove us a field that we can define what other means. For example check other and fill in the field with laugh track, or castellano. But he hasn't done that maybe its not too late to add in 3.8, if it is we wait til next time.

Is Antwerp Kathy her new nickname? Is she Belgian or something? I don't think I'm the one who's being an unclear communicator here.

Also how does "ït's not my job to do your homework" equate to "I can vote no without explaining why"? There's a good reason an explanation is required on no votes. You are supposed to say why they are wrong. Again, it's only my job to explain why I am making the change, not speculate as to why wrong data was entered before.

Just for the record - your opening this thread was a personal attack.

So, as usual, it is you Skip that is the one that attacks and insults others. 

All I did was point out that what you were saying was not accurate. If you don't want to be called out then I suggest you start telling the truth.

At no point did I "attack" you - unless of course you consider me using your own words to make a point.

Why don't you answer the doc's question and one that reiterated? Why don't you just vote "no" and give a reason?

Since you won't answer - you seldom do when asked a question directly - let me tell you what I think. And if you want to believe this is insulting - fine - it is what I believe.

The only reason you bring these issues to the forums is to berate and belittle those who do not agree with you.

I truly think that you enjoy being mean and insulting to others and I find your behavior abhorrent.

Don't bother responding - I couldn't care less what you think.

If my contribution notes for Titanic said
Quote:
Removed extra track. Only five audio tracks present.

instead of
Quote:
Not sure what the removed track was. Only five audio tracks present.

Would this have changed your vote? Are you ever going to explain what was wrong with my contribution instead of just asserting that something was and hyper-correcting my contribution notes?

That note does not tell me that you reviewed the prior notes. I want to know if there is any indication of what that other track might have been or nothing at all. And you don't tell me that. Your note seems to indicate that you did not back check the notes and are simply changing to what you have in your hand. Titanic (Clifton. Webb) has been out for several years. There may have been a scaled down reissue that removed the track that may have been on the original, I don't know, maybe the notes might help, but such things have happened before and will again.

So every submission that changes anything on an old profile (barring things like common name changes and birth-years) needs to say that the previous notes were checked to be valid?

You are tripping if you think the open was a personal attack. When no one is identified there can be no personal attack. The closest you can come is my comment about personal preference, which I still believe to be true. Not as an attack on anyone but because the changes if approved will render the data to near maninglessness. That simple and I have even explained why that is true. Having two undifferentiated audio tracks in the same language is worthless, especially when there is a difference, laugh track and castellano. Other at least flags a difference though it does not explain said difference

Not every ace. Where appropriate and in the cases discussed, it is appropriate. I would back check and try to determine if there was something going on. I would, if I had access to it, check my copy, day of release to see if I could figure out if we might be dealing with a reissue or something, if I were contributing. The work falls on me as the contributor to exercise due diligence to try and make sure the change is correct.

On The Omega Man: Are you saying that Castellano isn't Spanish or something else?

You asking others to communicate clearly, man that's a classic. You even manage to type that one incorrectly.

"if mot sue dont remove dsta, syggezt reviewing previous notes perhaps even intervocative"
Is that clear?

Castellano is what it is. Again to try to set up two undifferentiated Spanish tracks does not help anyone...some users might even look at it later and mumble wtf. Other communicates that there IS something different, it sadly does not allow us to describe the difference as I previously explained. But it is better than having what simply appears to be a duplicated audio track.

I am good at reading typos. It is not something that I feel the need to insult someone over, unlike you. Someone who brings nothing to any discussion he jumps in the middle of. Grow up, buddy.
