No Limits

Jan 22, 2009 13:01

After all this time tracking Gale Harold's accident and recovery, I finally came back to LJ apropos of Renshaw's invitation to comment on the movie "Milk" and found all the old No Limits posts on my journal. It made me curious to see if the people on No Limits were acting like human beings about Gale's accident, and I guess not. I looked on one ( Read more... )

I would have (you already know that) but I this is the first time I've seen your lj:)

I agree, Duc.

Anyone can have an accident and until we know (if we ever do)
the circumstances, there's no reason to say that Gale did it
to himself. People have accidents, even when they're careful.

He doesn't believe that ducdebrabant January 23 2009, 03:02:27 UTC

He doesn't even care if it's true. He just thinks it's delightful of him to be so "irrepressible" when other people are worrying or sympathizing. It's a trope with him that Gale is some sort of drug addict, but I don't believe it's a conviction, I believe it's just something he likes to say.

So what DID you think of "Milk"? FanSee

I put it on qafdiscussion, but I thought it was excellent.

Re: Milk fansee January 23 2009, 13:21:25 UTC

Should have realized that! I scurried over and read all the comments, yours included. I didn't comment because all I had to say was, "I agree."

I do think the idea of putting the documentary in with the DVD of "Milk" is brilliant, but no doubt some sort of red tape, such as copyright or royalties, will get in the way. FanSee

The documentary is more of a tearjerker than the film is.

Wow. Look who's in the house..
Glad to see you, Duc. Can we assume you'll check in here regularly, periodically, once in a while will you try to giveone little thought to
me, knowing you think of me, once in a while...
I was afraid to begin a reasonable discussion of gale's accident here
because I was afraid "crazies" would show up and we don't need any more
of that.
I hope you'll hang out and keep everybody's head straight. It's not a good
time for us.

I disagree Sarah, about 'crazies' showing up for a reasonable discussion of Gale's accident. All of the people in my friends list have shown nothing but concern for Gale's welfare, and shown loving support for him. Regardless of what caused the accident, and it really doesn't matter what, our only thought has been for his recovery, because we all love him. This is a rainbow world where Gale is king and we are very loyal and loving subjects. There are no 'crazies' here, although we might all be a little obsessed.
However, if someone came in and 'dissed' our king, we might all turn into ravening beasts and devour them.
And, I think our heads are pretty straight.

One last thing, Duc, good manners dictate that you should answer every commenter, even if it's just a "Thank you for commenting."

ducdebrabant January 23 2009, 16:50:58 UTC

Thank you for commenting.

critic75 January 23 2009, 18:51:29 UTC

I saw that coming. I expect you to answer allisgood's comment, also.

I wish I could think of a more refined way to say this. I can't. Unfortunately, the concept of "no limits" seems to encourage the assholes on that board, to be even bigger assholes. Individually, some of the members might be good people, but when you don't stand up to comments like Randy's, do you not in a sense appear to support that viewpoint?
