Your opinion on him aside, telling a mod to **** off, even outside his section, just for expressing his opinion on something is not in any way acceptable. You must know that.
And I don't know where you would bring this differing standard for mods from. Backfire makes a living from tasteless comments, you know. Why is this different? Because this time it is something you care about? Poor show.
Don't do it again.

Backfire makes me laugh and I haven't seen him say something quite as ignorant and backward as what was said earlier. So did Ledger, leave it out of this thread as a sign of respect, Impending-whatever should have done so in both threads where he has shown poor taste.
Is it just me, or does everyone else think that the Brandon Lee comparisons are getting kinda creepy?
- Similar look for characters portrayed
- Both died during production/post production of a comic book film
- Both were young, up-an-coming actors
- And it may possibly make the movie more popular than it really should have been (The Crow wouldn't have made so much money had Brandon Lee not died, as much as I hate to say it. And the same may happen with TDK)
Just putting that out there... And does everyone have to be going off on each other in an R.I.P. thread? Honestly...
Like I say, that's your opinion, but your opinion does not control the content of this thread and he is entitled to make comment. It so happens quite a few people feel that way, in any case, so you'll just have to live with it. And if the assessment was hasty he can always recant later; it's still no grounds for flaming.
And even when you disagree, you can do it without that blatant flaming which you very possibly should be banned for seeing as you continued after being asked to stop.
Just take some good advice and make that the last time you do it. Regardless of what you think, that's the way it is.

Usually when people commit suicide they aren't in complete control of themselves. In this case, it seems like Ledger was so depressed he unintentionally overdosed on a medicine.
I think it's safe to say that Ledger's performance in the theatrical trailer was more superior and close to the comics than Jack Nicholson's whole performance in the entire movie.
I'm not really a Ledger fan. As a matter of fact The Dark Knight will be my first film featuring Ledger.
However, this is a forum. I believe Exanda Kane's stand is the right one. He is standing up for a human who lost his life. Being banned is but a minor concern. It's simply a forum as compared to a human life.
His presentation may be over the top and against the rules. I believe he is doing the right thing.
R.I.P Heath Ledger. I'm sure your performance will more than impress me upon the release of The Dark Knight.
I liked him as an actor, he was certainly talented.
regardless of any other opinion in this (or any other) thread, it's sad to see talent go to waste like this.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
