And we’re back to implying that mystery writers & fans are serial killers and horror writers & fans are monsters…
Hasn't that been the plot of multiple Stephen King novels?And we’re back to implying that mystery writers & fans are serial killers and horror writers & fans are monsters…
Maybe. I wouldn’t know. I have a stack of his stuff in my TBR pile. That being the plot of a novel is a bit different than people repeatedly making the argument that there’s something wrong with or off about mystery and horror writers & fans.Hasn't that been the plot of multiple Stephen King novels?

Still a fun ride, if you can turn off your analytical brain for a bit. I can't, but still enjoyed the first 4-5 seasons. Might do a rewatch, as it's now available for streaming.“Two kinds of folks…I’m the kind that pays better.”
Two kinds. Not one kind. Not the same.
Castle was fun for a few seasons. But they were too dedicated to their formula. Once you spot the formula, you always know who the killer is about 1/4-1/3 of the way through the episode. In about 90% of the episodes the killer is the 3rd person they interview. Loved the Patterson, Connelly, et al appearances.
Looks like you left out judgements and sarcastic jokes so likely ignored.Ok, I actually started a thread and hit post. Let's see how it goes.
My usual experience is mostly ignored or completely derailed.
That’s the fun of mysteries, solving the puzzle. Turning off your analytical brain kinda messes with that. I’ve never been able to re-read or re-watch a mystery. I don’t see the point.Still a fun ride, if you can turn off your analytical brain for a bit. I can't, but still enjoyed the first 4-5 seasons. Might do a rewatch, as it's now available for streaming.

Overheard at a concert (Bowie was touring with NIN) ...
Why is he covering that Nirvana song?
le sigh......
I just looked at a long thread.
…why are the most pointless arguments the most heated?
The smaller the stakes the more entrenched they get in defending their position and are there any stakes smaller than the minutiae of role-playing games?

I've noticed two kinds of people who make threads long and heated:I just looked at a long thread.

I've noticed that in my line of work, and in these forums, the bad actors are the ones who have trouble saying "I don't know" and/or "I was wrong."I've noticed two kinds of people who make threads long and heated:
People who cannot not-reply if addressed, no matter how emotionally wound-up they get.
People who will not shut up.
I don't disagree--I think there's a lot of overlap between what I've noticed and what you've noticed.I've noticed that in my line of work, and in these forums, the bad actors are the ones who have trouble saying "I don't know" and/or "I was wrong."
I've long felt the moment I learned that saying "I was wrong" or "I f'ed up" was a sign of strength was the moment I actually grew up. It was a lot later than it should have been, although obviously sooner than it comes for some.I've noticed that in my line of work, and in these forums, the bad actors are the ones who have trouble saying "I don't know" and/or "I was wrong."
