Overstepping the mark?

[Maddoxfan]

I just put a article on problems w. TV on my website. Just wondered what you would think of it. It could be deemed offensive but i did try to tone it down.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Why, out of interest is your alias clearly Maddox, yet on these forums it's Maddoxfan? Hoping to start a trend or something?

Sorry, but campness (not gayness) has been around on television for the past 30 years. Its nothing new, it isn't offensive (to most people), and there are plenty of programmes that focus on hetro sexuality. Blind Date is a good example.

My name on this forum is maddoxfan, on my site I am Jimmy Bobinson. But the site is titled A MADDOX FAN SITE.

And Supermarket Sweep !

So what are you trying to say here? Seriously, English?

 

[Maddoxfan]

Blind date isn't a good example of any type of programme, but you must see what I mean, the past few years there has been a boom in these shows. Open gayness is really relatively recent compared to 'campness'.

It's a good example of a television programme, surely?

What is it with the repeated thread starting about a pretty average website? :\

 

[Wazzerphuk]

He wants a second fan to hit his site :]

the question should really be why do people constantly try and do these 'funny' bad taste pages. To do it well, you must be funny.

To do it properly, you must be able to write more than 3 paragraphs and spout crap a three year old could use to be 'controversial' with..

 

[caLLous]

And present it all in a neatly wrapped, nicely coloured and navigable website...

 

[SAS]

What is the articles point? *Scratches head*. Then again maybe that's the point. Making people post about it and question it...

*realises he is thinking to much about it and gives up*

 

[Maddoxfan]

I'm trying to guage opinion of my my site not Maddox's, if that is what you mean, but I'm not trying to be controversial, I'm just airing my thoughts.

How is my site not navigable? if you mean i don't have a back button, i dont see the need for one as most people use the IE back button.

As opinion of my site is generally that it is poor, perhaps i will do some work on it. sorry for wasting your time.

I think Greham Norton might be gay

Start your own website and stop trying to be Maddox.

I looked at your site through morbid curiosity, and your 'hate mail' page alone screams volumes about what you want to be, but sadly aren't.

If you really do want to have a website like Maddox's then go away, learn to write, develop your own style and present it in your own way... don't just see someone else's website and think "wow, that guy is cool... I want to be him !" and be a sheep.

There's a lot of shit on TV, why does the gay stuff bother you so much?

I don't think I'm alone in not particularly giving a toss about "Blogs" and people airing their views, unless they're presented in an amusing style.

What a guy !

 

[TdC]

make a fan site!! quick, before someone else does!!

 

[Mazling]

For the sake of the internet/humanity I'd like to reiterate what's already been said. But then again I hate you so I won't.

(make your own site)

You hate camp and yet cite little britian as one of the best programs in recent years. even though it is camp as butlins hosting mardi gras!

So, what is your issue with "open gayness" exactly?

Issues?

The sooner TV goes back to good old programs with real humour the better and I don't mean comedy shows like 'The Office' or another impersonations program (they are old, get over it and move on).

Okay I took the time and tried to read it but this paragraph really made me laugh. Tv has to go back to old programs but "the Office" is old and we have to move on....

While you don't like many things on TV doesn't make other people not like it. A news flash you are not the only one TV networks are trying to get to watch their shows.

Also "cool to be gay" ? hmmm kids are getting dumber by the generation then.

Does this guy's website have its own forum ? If not, why not ? Even I can set one up, I did one on my old Barrysworld account, and I'm a complete web-n00b.

Otherwise, why is he using FreddysHHouse forum bandwidth to discuss items on his own website ? I think he should either post the articles here (subject to the CoC), or use his own forum.

Or do a Bodhi-catchphrase
