The Lion's Den

Welcome to your Ridiculously Liberal Film Blog…

I did some google searching for GeekRoar.com last week to see who has linked to posts on my blogs and came across an Epinions.com page on The Matrix with a lengthy review that says

Enter geekroar.com, a ridiculously liberal but simultaneously excellent site which has personality and gave me a lot of Matrix information- including a forum where I could discuss my Matrix views.

Ridiculously liberal? Yeah, I am liberal but is it really ridiculous? Later on the same text he said something else that struck me as odd:

I became a member of that forum on July 1st, I do believe. And I became obsessed with it, and I remain obsessed with it, even to this day. I check it regularly, and out of 106 members, I have done 13% of the posts there, which is quite a lot- I have over 250 posts from 32 days of being there (as of publication date, that is). If you ask me, for a community that small, this is a sh*tload of posts. I hope that soon, in return for my service and contribution of discussion to the site, I'll get promoted from regular site-goer to moderator, but I doubt that will happen…

Errr… a promotion to moderator? GeekRoar.com is not a discussion board but a blog, there is no post counting, no discussion threads, and no moderators, just me posting as I write stuff and people responding to it. A lot of people on the Film Roar: The Matrix Reloaded Architect Transcript and Film Roar: Matrix Reloaded Theory and Matrix Reloaded Discussion posts did not seem to get this, but still I can only assume the author is actually referring to The Matrix Discussion board set up by one of the discussions participants which took the time to mirror the initial GeekRoar.com discussion and the took it off with full threads.

Still.. ridiculously liberal?
