That would be totally stupid. People continually starting new threads about the same subjects makes the Fourum a right old mess. I started this thread to ask for my review to be corrected back to the proper form; every time I want the same it's natural to post it here.
It might not be what you would do, sal, but that doesn't make the suggestion, or titanpa, "totally stupid"
Titanpa's point was that a new thread would not highlight again the petty arguments that have become too much a trademark of this fourum, whereas resurrecting this old thread would.
You both have different value judgments on this; titanpa prefers harmony, you prefer logically arranged threads. Neither viewpoint is "right", and neither is "totally stupid" |

I didn't say or imply that TitanPa was stupid, although I do give him the respect of writing his name properly. What a strange thing for you to suggest.
He gave his (critical) opinion; I gave mine.
By highlighting the content of the thread (which I haven't reread myself) TitanPa was in fact the one digging things up.
Thanks for your input, as ever, though. |

I've had another occurrence of this. The gangmembers' names are all anglicised in various ways for the subtitles. Dandi becomes Dandy. The first part of my explanation was "Dandy is the English name for one of the main criminals." The review doesn't now work. It still describes the same plot element (although even for that I'd rather use the anglicised name since that reflects my viewing experience), but the image that I was playing on (a Regency fop whoremongering) has been lost.
I've had a typo in a review approximately once. You can trust me to be submitting spellings intentionally. Benj, please can this review be changed back to my original form? I'd really rather not use up another quota slot on it. Thanks.
And another reason for not wanting to resubmit it is that the MERPs have more than a few times rejected already-approved reviews that have been resubmitted with only minor changes to spelling &c. |

Please do not 'correct' the spelling of my reviews
