Tomorrow when the sticky is up, someone else will come in and comment that these films aren't horror and what are they doing in there? Guess my question was legit?
"amount of resistance on this thread sniffs a bit of elitism" - I guess I will have to re-read all the pages from the beginning to see this "amount of resistance" and "elitism" you are hinting to.
And the last 2 lines of your reply are pretty much uncalled for. Maybe you should read the thread from the beginning as well. Or am I to assume that you are an older banned member who's returned under another name to stir trouble yet again?
This project was dead and buried a long, long time ago. I revived it in the hope that we might see a bit more traffic and have some old members returning, who might be lurking in the shadows. So far everything I have done in the thread has been democratic, including finalising the final 20 for an era - unlike the previous stickied 100s where the involvement of all members was restricted to sending in their top 10/15/20 only. The final selection was done by a panel of judges/jury who were either selected by any/all members, or secretly selected amongst themselves.
Guess I should be burned at the stake for resurrecting this project and getting all members involved all through the selection process, shouldn't I?
And one final point to re-iterate that "amount of resistance" thing you cropped up - have you seen a single instance where I have interjected or put in my opinions/choices throughout this thread? I am staying impartial, and not even submitting my top 20 OR my choices when the final selections are being done. The final 20 selections are being done according to the majority of support/backing which YOU people go for.
For your information, the total number of lists I post for an era is of members ONLY. None are from me, and you won't see my opinions/choices overrule everyone else's. If this is not being completely fair, then I am happy to hand over everything related to this project to you. Feel free to take over. I will be very glad to pass this on.

Hey V, I see I've offended you, which was not my intent, and I certainly did not mean to minimize all the hard work you've done on this thread. My apologies. I was just providing an opinion, and you can either listen to it or dismiss it.
I suppose my main point is that each time I've suggested a film, you're response was never, "Added to the list." It was either something like "you guys can debate it" or, in the latest case, dead silence. (I didn't realize you added Clean, Shaven. A quick response would have cleared that up.)
And just to clarify... No, I'm not an ex-banned member, and yes I've read the entire thread, although IMO the policy of "Don't speak unless you've read all 38 pages" seems a bit draconian. My feedback was supposed to be constructive, and I truly am sorry if it didn't come across that way.
