I question the motivation from anyone who wants this to happen so badly, they have obviously already got the knives sharpened. Oh dear me!

smh....

...or not. I actually think I've only voted in the Razzies once, maybe twice. I'll be shocked if I've voted more than that, and usually I just sit back and watch, it's an evening's entertainment. Nothing to do with 'sharpened knives', it's the internet...words on a screen...it's just a bit of fun and aside from the quiz, this place is dead at the moment, it needs livening up.

I think it's fine if people don't want to take part.

Also I don't think it's fair to be rude to people who want to opt out.

Yes, of course. I agree.

[Livia]

If people want to opt out, then they should. Opt out now and keep well away from the thread to save your feelings getting hurt.

I don't think anyone has an ulterior motive where the Razzies are concerned, and especially not JHC who started this thread. He probably wouldn't wait for the Razzies if he had something he wanted to say to anyone.

Jesus is about the peace and love as you all very well know. Have you not read his book?

Lets see if you still say that should you receive votes and comments in the event Marcus, given that you, like myself and Vanessa, are one of the more sensitive members of the forum.

Saying you don't intend to withdraw and then saying how sensitive you are will surely have an effect on the way people vote for you. If they vote for you. And who is going to measure how sensitive someone is, and whether or not a post is too upsetting.

Perhaps a way around it would be that people have to opt in rather than opting out. If you opt in, you are in fact agreeing to the Razzies and can't really moan about what's said.

Don't give out anything personal about your life and people can't personally attack you.

Maybe you're confusing people attacking posting style and the way people come across on the forum with personal insults.

So if we opt out we can't vote or be voted for?

The forum is dead, and it's games that involve more people, that actually work out better for more people.

sorry jesus

yep that right ness

[Marcus.]

i up for it
because i know it a laugh

[InOne]

I remember the last thread got closed cos the arguments after not the actual awards

[joeysteele]

I probably shouldn't really comment on this as I don't really like talking about or looking negatively as to people.

I would near certainly opt out of this if it went ahead,I get enough to at times deal with on general threads without a permitted one being there.

I guess I would then be agreeing with *Kate* on this one, somehowI could see it likely being used in a less than 'bit of fun' way.Just my opinion but there it is.
I am off now.

Yes. It is harmless fun and would bring in some laughs

Agreed. But if people want to opt out then i think it's ok.

Should be everybodies. Its harmless.

[Amy Jade]

I wouldn't mind it tbh but I would hope it stayed fun and light hearted but I doubt it would with certain people involved.

I think Kate is dead on tbh.
