lol
I hate to derail this, but I have to for a sec.
I hear the name, I've seen the Bic lighters, and I'm just not getting it. Who is Ed Hardy and why do so many hate him?
Haha! I will take any excuse to talk clothes!
Ed Hardy usually refers to the "designer"(and I use this term loosely) clothes that have patterns "inspired by" the tattoo artist, Ed Hardy.
It tends to be the name-brand bogans wear, it's always gaudy and ugly and just has no class what-so-ever.
Ah, so basically it's "fashion" for your run of the mill, popped collar douchebags, or the Jersey Shore cast. Got it. Thank you for the explanation. It's something that's always had me wondering.
Alright, bringing this back on track.
As for it being a written/unwritten rule, every board I've been to will have someone nicely point you towards using the search function because "we already have a million of these posts". The next time, not so nice. As it goes on, people get pissier and pissier. Then it's just "USE THE !@#$In' SEARCH, YOU !@##$"
Then the mods or admins have to step in and clean up the thread and tell the OP, "We have a search function, please use it in the future. If you can't, this will be considered spam, so please stop. Ignorance is not an excuse anymore." (<----I have actually seen that posted, in those exact words. Not here, but on a different board.)
However, to be fair to the posters, when an item isn't stickied, or the facts in that stickied post aren't correct, people are going to ask questions, and there needs to be answers.
I try my best to help people, and yes I did sigh. Why? Not because someone was asking a question. But because people were asking the same question over and over and no one's getting a straight answer. Then, when I give one, it's picked apart and people say things like "Bay and Nelson lie all the time, this is just part of their disinformation campaign."
It's a little tiresome, actually. I'm not going to give up helping people, especially when I can actually help them, but I'm not going to be happy about it if they're ingrates or it falls on deaf ears and does no good.
Oh and as for Bay and Nelson lying? Why would they lie about the running time?
They told the truth about the first film having a longer running time in IMAX.
They told the truth about the second one have a minute longer with special IMAX scenes.
This film wasn't made with IMAX cameras, so no special scenes, plus Bay would be all about "check out the exclusive footage at your local IMAX" if they were pushing a special edition. Not to mention, they lie about the story to keep us guessing and not spoil everything, they wouldn't lie about a technical detail such as it's running time. That? They have no reason to.
People hate so much, they have blinders on. Some of their comments are true, but some, such as the running time issue...just flat out hatred blinding them from having common sense.
"He lied about the running time! Bastard!" *SLAP*
