must we act like trolls? - Blu-ray Forum

xtop · 12-14-2007, 01:56 AM

why oh why does every thread title, response and sig need to have "dud" in it. good lord its old, and not even close to funny. do we really need to stoop to their level and act like children? its no wonder others don't like this forum

cartman781 · 12-14-2007, 01:58 AM

I've been guilty of it before, but now I try to refrain from it. Not as much of a deal here, but on other forums it does make a difference.

While I don't do that, I don't mind it. The more tolerant you become, the more HD DVD fans that join and then things just spiral out of control (like most other sites). Basically, I think of this as a safe-haven for blu-ray fans so I don't mind people not tolerating HD DVD at all.

What's wrong with calling Duds? Duds?

Is it our fault they're duds? What else are we suppose to call them?

Until they stop being duds, they will always be call duds.

Whether it gets old or not. Like a rapist, they will always be call a rapist, unless they stop being a rapist.

Sorry, but a dog is a dog, and a cat is a cat, it's that simple.

cartman781 · 12-14-2007, 02:05 AM

owa, I agree. I like checking some of the other forums, but come her to get blu specific news without all of the other BS.

aphex · 12-14-2007, 02:05 AM

wtf are you talking about. This is an internet forum. Everything turns into slang. For Example: HD DVD is obviously worse than Blu-ray. So let's call it hddud.

OK sounds good.

looks like someone bought into the BS...

they don't like our forum for the same reason we don't like theirs...

we are biased..the site is called blu-ray.com

there is no reason to see someone here who doesn't support Blu-ray...

I'm not a fan of the term DUD...but I'm also not going to have a hissyfit over it...

sj001 · 12-14-2007, 02:11 AM

Hmmm, well DUD sure rolls off the tongue better than HD-DVD. Plus, this is Blu-ray.com.

I do not even know where to begin with since there is such an over-abundance of mind bending idiocy in this single post.
It started out as minor dumb, and then just took a free fall into complete idiocy.

I'm not a fan of the term FUD...but I'm also not going to have a hissyfit over it...

Just a side question...what does fud which has a meaning (fear-uncertainty-doubt) have in common with the "dud" thing?
The dud thing comes off as a little childish at times but it is not anything to lose sleep over.

I definitely agree with you, the whole "dud" slang term for HD DVD is obnoxious and childish.

I'm definitely not a fan of that term.

woody64 · 12-14-2007, 02:28 AM

Hey OokieSpookie, why do you try to stay "under the radar", why don't you come on out and just admit your a f***** DUD troll, I think most here know allready. Sorta sick of your shit posts.

yeah...but was it really necessary to make a thread about this?..

he's just focusing on more negativity...

xtop has really been trying to stir things up...we have a positive vibe here and you keep trying to convince people we should be worried or that we aren't acting grown up enough

I disagree...

and while I don't think we should be complacent at all....you keep focusing on what we should be worried about rather what we can do to keep that edge...

which is buy Blu...

finalfantasy · 12-14-2007, 02:31 AM

If you are not first, then you are last...

If you are un-HD, then you are HD DUD...

I prefer un-HD since there is nothing HD about HD-DVD...

Let's call them just DVDs...

I agree, I don't use the term either. As much as I don't like HD-DVD, it's worlds better than the original Circuit City Divx format... talk about a dud.

But looking at some of the responses in this thread then apparently yes, we are trolls. Hopefully everyone will calm down after the format war is over.
