Is there a "toxicity" in this fandom?

In that very same thread we had people who actually were CGI artists that told you the exact opposite yet, you still claimed you know better.

Wow, I had a different opinion. Big deal! So that means automatically CG Arnold in the fifth Terminator movie looked real just because some CG artists think they know better. Well you've really taught me.

The fact is I have a good eye for detail when it comes to uncanny valley and I did post links at the time confirming the problems of CGI which guys like you ignored. Doesn't matter when its plainly obvious from that list of stuff. And yeah I still stand by what I said. Practical effects always win over CGI because practical effects are hand crafted, not done in numbers. Kind of obvious really.

Not sure who you were on that site but no, it was run by a control freak who couldn't give a damn about people with a different opinion. The truth is folks he wanted me to say my views on CG, the 2016 travesty movie and a frickin Spider-Man blu-ray release were wrong and I didn't because I felt I was right. Then crazed fans like Alpha and that arrogant Canadian RichardLess acted like bullies to gang up on me.

I would love to discuss Ghostbusters on that forum again but not while that moderator lives up to his name. Apologies for the rant but someone from another forum trying to call me out when he doesn't know the specifics really irritates me.

I'm sure you'd love it there. Really nice atmosphere filled with crazy Dutch people who think Paul Feig's work is 'avant-garde'. No I did not make that up, this is just one view I could not protest against due to the moderator even though it was bat s*it crazy.
