 Re: this is weird without loyal Maverikk wrote: Libs wrote: Maverikk wrote: Libs wrote: I agree, loyal is missed during awards season, at least by me. It doesn't feel the same without him. It's probably hard when your leader is gone, but I'm sure he'll be back. My leader? Exsqueeze me? Well, I would say loyal is one of the leaders here, and certainly the leader of this forum now. I see you as one of his followers. You follow his opinions, choose to see movies based on that, and in some cases, are influenced to like said movie or not by his opinions. He's become your James Berardinelli of this site, which probably is the logical reason for why you started dissing everything Clint Eastwood, didn't bother with Changeling (though, on paper, it was your type of Oscar bait female lead flick), yet was excited for and enjoyed Gran Torino, despite intially joining in on the snickers. Hell, for all I know, loyal's professed Sex in the City fanboyism might be the reason you did a complete 180 on that show, cause you used to loathe it until then. Sometimes people look to others and admire them and get enthused by their opinions on stuff, and you seem to be like that toward loyal heavily in the last few years. That's not an insult, just an observation, so that's why you probably miss him now so badly.  heh, I don't have that impression at all. Loyal said he would like people or not based on movies, so I can't possibly agree with him on this sort of thing (I mean unless it was more than a matter liking it and supporting some wrong message in a film). It's different without him.

Also, I just do whatever yoshue says. agreed I just do what Yoshue says (oops accidentally made Loyal cry himself to sleep) SORRY _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself. Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Re: this is weird without loyal I didn't even realize he's been absent. Hmm. Whatever, it's actually been far less douchey here on KJ.

Speaking of leaders, I've always wondered why you ALWAYS have followed me and Libs around. Is she your leader or am I?  I'll answer your question when you answer mine.

Re: this is weird without loyal I really don't think KJ has ever had a "leader." We've always been an ensemble cast.

Re: this is weird without loyal Seriously though leadership has aspects involving listening to orders and then there are other things best left for individuals to decide for themselves. I would say leaders should inspire. Anyway...

Re: this is weird without loyal DP07 wrote: Give us your thoughts on what leadership is Mav. Leadership can be defined by one's ability to lead. I don't see leaders here, I see mostly people who go with the flow or try to fit in with those they admire. I see people who ride the coat tails of others, without even realizing that they just do whatever others are doing, or did before them. I'm a leader.

Heh, I'd say that most people tend to make decisions based on social or peer pressure. Or stick with the familiar. Anyway, whatever differences I do think that there are leadership qualities that you have. As to the idea korrgan alluded to, I think the forum tends to operate largely through opinion leaders. It's like in the BO forum, a couple arguments, ideas or predictions can set the tone for expectations for a movie.

The question for me is whether that sort of argument becomes more important than the ideas. I know everyone might not love my long posts, but I think that sort of thing keeps the focus away from the other posters and towards the topic and make it feel like less of a fight. Ideas, theories, and philosophies are the real leaders anyway.

Well, anyone who has their own ideas has something...Now anyone with an internet connection and some truly new idea can be a leader. Thoughts exist and are their own best representation because they can go without having anything else less accurate get in their way on the internet. So, the truth may then be free. hmmm, so anyway Mav, what do you think about inspiration vs following orders in terms of leadership?

Obviously, a good leader has good instincts, and displays ability to read situations and people accordingly. You got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.
