Default Internet article critical of IMFDB

Found this article essentially criticizing the criticisms in IMFDB.

I wouldn't exactly call it "criticism" nor do I think we should take it so seriously, but it is definitely not that funny compared to other stuff on SA. Except for the part where he implies we all must have Asperger's Syndrome; I'll admit I chuckled at that because I've had the same thought.

Anyway, most of the stuff he points out is that kind of stuff that Anonymous Users add later. For some reason, many of them insist on adding the comments about actors' stances that nobody cares about. Even if this guy hadn't poked fun at it, I would still say it's a good reason why this site ought to be registered users only.

Also, the part where he critiques the "2 Fast 2 Furious" page is simply not funny at all. And no, that's not my bias speaking (I did that page)...it just falls flat. Completely.

We better protect the pages he mentions. The goons will vandalize the fuck out of them.

Ahem.......

This speaks directly to the snarky sarcastic comments I've been blasting for some time now. If we're going to point out a mistake, do it in a professional and educational manner.

You can LAUGH at the fact that a lot of folks out there think we're dicks.....

Or you can do something about it and not allow the stupid crap that appears all the time on IMFDB.

I'm reading this and is this writer trying to be funny or sarcastic? Cause I'm not laughing. I mean, this guy's nitpicking on our nitpicks. The point of IMFDB is to point out firearms and how they are used and presented in films and TV. I'm glad all this guy does is just films cause if he gets to the games and anime section, he'll have a hissy fit.
