The troll is back - RANT!

Well, alienated is once more in our midst - over on the DS forum. She actually had the gall to PM me, gloating at once again fooling those idiot mods into letting her back on. And letting me know she fully intends to continue in her usual juvenile pattern. Does this woman have no brain whatsoever?

What am I saying?

I did respond - letting her know the gloves are off. One more piece of crap from her and BAM! The woman is so completely idiotic - even aside from her compulsive behavior toward Dirk and others. She claims to be so intelligent, but she can't even read! Look at her diatribe about Dirk's article, where *she* claims he admits to "lost weekends" - that whole bit was about falling off the "celebrity wagon" - I can't decide if she deliberately misconstrued that or if she's really incapable of any kind of reading comprehension. Most likely a bit of both.

Ah, well - maybe people will accept the challenge and knock her block off (figuratively speaking, of course ;-)) in order to rebuild the forum. If not, we do have DBC, DTD and others where her idiocy isn't tolerated - all of which are thriving. Quite a coincidence, that.

But that's not A-Team fandom. None of the others are doing that, they're talking about other roles, but the actors are not so much an issue there. Or at least that's what I think. Is that stupid? I don't want to start such a thread on DBC, Tracy's gallery should do that, but I feel it wouldn't really belong on the Resource Page.
Heck, is there an abbreviation for that page? ATRP maybe???

No but we have areas to discuss Dr Who, etc. etc. etc. So there would be no objection to you starting a new thread (in fact I think on the Shrine these sorts of pictures slipped into the Is Face Sexy category :D)

I've always wondered why the gallery lacked photos on DBC... but I think it's probably due to licensing etc. Technically we are not supposed to screencap (but we all do :D) and put on the net (If I'm reading that stuff that comes up on the dvd correctly). So I think that's why a "website" can't promote the screencaps... but if a poster does it... it kinda gets around it. Does that make sense?

We had a thread on the Shrine when it was celebrity big brother... so honestly you CAN start a Dirk thread :D

Heck, is there an abbreviation for that page? ATRP maybe???

I keep on wanting to call it the Shrine... so much easier to type for some reason that Resource Page (I'm a touch typist and you kinda notice these things... some words you have to think about more than others! Maybe I'm used to typing the Shrine.) ATRP sounds good to me :D

All this copyright stuff is a jungle, but I've thought the same things about screencapping occasionally. But so far I've never heard that someone got fined for it, so it's probably not okay, but tolerated. The gallery might be another thing, but I really don't know. Official law is sometimes very different from the personal feeling of rights and wrongs.

I think you've almost convinced me to start such a thread over there. It's true, some Dirk pics slipped into the Face thread on the Shrine, but they're not Face and not other roles, either, just plain Dirk. I'm not talking screencaps here, anyway, more those pics they're selling on ebay and from mags. Sigh. Okay, I guess, I'll start such a thread. But not tonight... ;-)

you can always generalise the thread... so that other's can post GP, Dwight or T pictures :D

Good idea! Now all I need is a catchy title. LOL
